Our mission
Hi I’m Maria
Founder of Healing Weeds
I’m here to show you how to find and use wild plants around you.
After realising how suppressed this knowledge is, I wanted to share what I had learned over the years.
Wild food sources are packed with vitamins, minerals and immune supporting bacteria that you won’t find in your shop bought veggies.
So now I’m on a mission to empower everyone with the confidence and competence to connect with nature and improve our personal collective and planetary health.
