A message from our founder

Hi, I’m Maria

I'm an outdoor educator, qualified medical herbalist and founder of Healing Weeds CIC.

Back in 2019, I started sharing what I’d learned about our local wild plants to people through walks and workshops to show people herbal medicine is not danegrous, weak or unpredictable.

And when learned the story of why herbal medicine had been removed from public healthcare, I wanted to add to the antidote.

Knowing which plants eased a fever, healed a wound or relieved eczema used to be regular common knowledge; so I created Healing Weeds, to restart sharing this knowledge to put it back in the hands of everyday people.

My aim is to contribute to the spread of common, safe and accessible herbal medicine and uplift people to share this herbal learning far and wide.
