A Journey Through the Seasons of Your Health

Hello and welcome,
My name is Lynn Marie, and I am a Community Herbalist, Yoga Teacher, Astrologer, and Mother—among many other things. For most of my life, I’ve been deeply drawn to holistic health and spirituality, and I’ve explored a range of healing modalities including Life Coaching, Shamanism, and Reiki.
About 20 years ago, I met an herbalist and took part in her year-long herbal health journey. That experience changed my life. Years later, I chose to deepen my study through a three-year Herbal Practitioner Program, which laid the foundation for the creation of Arisma Holistic Herbal—a practice through which I now offer one-on-one consultations, herbal products, and community workshops.
It has long been my dream to guide others through a transformational, year-long exploration of health, herbs, and self-empowerment—and now, that dream is coming to life.
🌿 I’m thrilled to invite you to join me for

A Journey Through the Seasons of Your Health,
a 100-hour, in-depth course running over the span of a year.
This course is more than a study program—it’s an invitation to reconnect with your health, your body, and the natural world around you. We will meet the plants, observe the seasons, and explore your personal health landscape through a holistic lens.
Course topics include:
• Introduction to Holistic Herbalism
• Plant Identification & Foraging
• Herbal Medicine Making
• First-Aid Garden Planning
• Anatomy & Physiology
• Western Herbal Energetics
• Herbal Actions & Materia Medica
• Breathing & Meditation Practices
• Solar, Lunar & Medical Astrology
Whether you're beginning your herbal journey or deepening an existing path, this experience is designed to empower you with knowledge and connection—both to the plants and to yourself.
If you feel called to join me, please reach out at lynnmarie@arisma.ca to receive the full Information Package, which includes details on the curriculum, schedule, pricing, and application process.
I would be honoured to walk this path with you.

Warmly,
Lynn Marie Mattie

Hi. My name is Lynn-Marie Mattie. I’m a community Herbalist, Yoga teacher, Astrologer, and Mother. I have been interested in Holistic Health and Spirituality for most of my life and have explored and trained in many different modalities, including Life Coaching, Shamanism and Reiki.

Around 20 years ago, I met an Herbalist and studied with her for a year-long personal health journey. It profoundly impacted my life. A few years ago, I took the opportunity to study herbs more in depth, through a 3-year Herbal Practitioner Program. From this, Arisma Holistic Herbal was created, where I offer one-on-one consultations, herbal blends, and workshops.

It has been a dream to one day create and offer my own year-long health journey to clients and students. I want to share with you the benefits and empowerment that comes from learning and experiencing this focused exploration into your individual health.

This is the second year that I will be offering an in-depth, year-long, 100-hour course, called Journey through the Seasons of Your Health. Topics include Introduction to Holistic Herbalism, Plant Identification, Foraging, & Medicine Making, First-aid Gardens, Anatomy & Physiology, Western Energetics, Herbal Actions, Materia Medica, Breathing & Meditation, Solar, Lunar, & Medical Astrology.

If you are interested in joining me for this journey, please email lynnmarie@arisma.ca for an information package, which includes application, curriculum, schedule and pricing.

Sunday was a teaching day for the Journey course. We did a tour around Truro/Bible Hill to 3 locations to meet lots of local medicinal plants in full bloom.
These photos are from my backyard garden. I was so into the plants, I forgot to look at the camera lol

My trusty travel companion is starting to fade. I've been looking on market place and Steps on Authur (New2U). This one is 32 cups, but I could use a larger one.

If anyone knows of a coffee or tea urn in good shape that is ready for a new home, it will be well loved 💕🌿🫖☕️

I've served thousands of cups of herbal 'tea' over the past 2 years as I've taken this pot to many markets, retreats, and speaking engagements. It's helped me to share the gentle medicine made from plants and water.

Green blessings 🌿🌼🌱🪻🍃
