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 realised that access to wild plants - and the medicinal knowledge surrounding them - is bizzarely secretive and deeply and unequal.
Herbal plant knowledge has been systematically removed from public understanding; we used to know which plants eased a fever, healed a wound or relieved eczema, but over the years, we’ve all been (purposefully) separated from it. No longer are we trusting of these plants, with many of us believing that the only solution takes a pill-shaped form.
So I created Healing Weeds, to put this knowledge back in the hands of everyday people, to guide our health professionals back to nature and to train a new generation of young people to spread this herbal learning far and wide.
