When people say they took a class that was ‘life-changing’, it is often dismissed as over-exuberance, but in this case, it is the perfect description. These classes truly did change my life. I was completely new to herbalism, so it opened a whole new world for me. The knowledge I gained empowered me to take charge of my own health. I am pleased to say that I am now able to help myself, friends, and clients with some of the health issues that life often challenges us with. In addition, I have a much closer relationship with the plants around me, and have been grateful for not only their medicinal qualities, but for the emotional and spiritual support they provide. Thank you David, for literally enhancing and changing my life.
