Our mission

Hi I’m Maria

Founder of Healing Weeds

I’m here to create with you. We specialise in building playful and creative sessions outside with you.

After realising how suppressed herbal knowledge is, I’m determined to share what I have 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 to connect with nature, reduce feelings of isolation and restore public health.

About Healing Weeds

 

Our values

Access over exclusivity

Relationship over extraction

Community over individualism

  • After studying Biology at University and many years teaching in alternative education settings, Maria saw a gap in our collective education.

    Access to nature and local plant knowledge is not evenly shared between us.

    Healing Weeds CIC exists to close to this gap by returning practical wild plant education into the hands of all of us.

  • Our aims are to reconnect people with medicinal plants, teaching people of all abilities how to find and use local wild remedies.

    Our work includes:

    Community herb walks and workshops
    Free or low‑cost sessions prioritising access and building confidence.

    Seasonal wellbeing programmes
    Nature connection sessions supporting mental, emotional and physical health.

    Education and training
    Ethical herbalism, foraging and ways to include wild plants in every day life for community groups and organisations.

    All of our work is founded in values of equity and inclusivity. We practice decolonial and anti-racist ways of working, guided by respect for land, lineage and consent.

  • Our programmes prioritise:

    • people experiencing economic or social exclusion

    • communities with limited access to green space

    • those seeking grounded approaches to healing

    We also connect with local schools, universities and healthcare practitioners to embed herbal healthcare into public knowledge, as well as alongside councils, charities and grassroots organisations in a way that feels accessible for everyone.

 
Let's work together 💫

We don’t usually share what we get up to, so here’s a peek at some connections we’re lovinggg and exciting moves we’ve been making 🪲✨🌸🪱 If you want to deep dive into nature with me (or another member of the Healing Weeds
One thing that will never change is our mission to make learning about wild medicinal plants feel easy for everyone 🌾 So our signature toolkits (that we send out after every session) are changing form and becoming year-long *wild plant field notes*
