The most meaningful day of my life so far happened to fall on my birthday 💖
It’s hard to describe the all-encompassing, soul-fulfilling feeling of completing this beautiful era of my life. I went from living a blindfolded struggle; forcing myself to work in an environment that stifled and crushed my core values, to a place of peace and possibility ✨ It feels deeply poetic that the very person who first ignited my passion for seeing beyond the rules of the system - my Dad - would also be the one to give me the final, gut-wrenching push toward my true vocation. His death broke something open in me. The illness that followed was, in its own strange way, a kind of clearing - and it was through that darkness that I finally began to see more clearly, and found my path to Herbal Medicine 🍃
It has been the most beautiful phase of my life: not only have I developed a genuine connection with myself but I have met so many inspiring people along the way: My fellow herbal graduates, my lecturers, my supervisors, long-lost family members and, of course, the plants. You have motivated, excited and inspired me but you have also filled my soul with a peace that I have never known before. I am so honoured to be woven into the ancient lineage of herbal medicine, and so deeply excited for everything we are about to create 🍃✨🩷
