    Energy-based Therapies

    In this episode, I am speaking with colleague and friend, Stacey Quade of Energy for Life Connection in Duluth, MN.  Like many other herbal practitioners I know, she integrates energy-based healing into her practice recognizing the importance of mind, body, and spirit health.  We discuss how other herbalists can choose what resonates with them concerning energy-based healing and implement this into their own practice.  We also discuss teaching the community practical skills in herbalism and nutrition, and Reading the Body (a differential assessment technique to learn what areas of the body are needing focus and attention, and comprehend the tissue states of the individual).  Join us to learn more about Stacey, her journey into herbalism, her future in herbalism, and her business. Find more about Stacey at Energy for Life Connection https://www.facebook.com/stacey.quade.7 https://www.instagram.com/staceytheherbalist/ For more information about Margi Flint and her book "The Practicing Herbalist" along with the William Lesassier Legacy Project visit https://earthsongherbals.com/ I promised I would post information about the book "Blood Chemistry and CBC Analysis" by Dicken Weatherby, N.D. and Scott Ferguson, N.D here

    The Meandering Path of Herbalism

    Join me in this episode as I interview a good friend and student, DJ Freeman, an herbalist, dedicated student, and inspirational person to help you on your own meandering path in herbalism.  Find out how she was "called" to herbalism through her own health, curiosity, and determination.  She talks about her teachers, where she heard the term "meandering path of herbalism", and what that term means to her.  She also offers great ideas and philosophies while she is describing her journey and what her niche in herbalism might be.   I mentioned that I would offer links to rescue and rebuilding efforts that you could contribute to in order to help the communities hit hard by the two most recent hurricanes in the southern United States of America.  Anything you can offer is much needed no matter the amount given. https://www.aboutasheville.com https://www.samaritanspurse.org/disaster/hurricane-helene/ I personally know Jay and Gina and I wanted to leave this here as well.  His video was featured on CNN. https://www.gofundme.com/f/jaypaul-flood-recovery-effort?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp8_t2&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=facebook HWB Disaster Relief – Herbalists Without Borders (hwbglobal.org) I am sure there are many other good organizations that could benefit from donations.  Please do your research and ask what is needed at this time.  Thank you!
