Our mission
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 teaching herbal medicine to people through walks. and workshops. I wanted to build an antidote to the uncertainty people feel when they think of herbal medicine.
I learned that herbal knowledge had been purposefully removed from public healthcare for so long that many of us believe the best solution takes a pill-shaped form.
We used to know which plants eased a fever, healed a wound or relieved eczema; so I created Healing Weeds, to put this knowledge back in the hands of everyday people.
My aim is to contribute to our growing reconnection with this form of safe medicine and train a new generation of people to spread this herbal learning far and wide.
