Herein lies hope for people tired of suffering with physical ailments and unhappiness. 24 Tales of Natural Healing is a collection of stories about healing events which I have facilitated and witnessed over the last 40 years.

The herbs have never let me down. I'm so grateful for all the medicine nature provides and I hope to inspire you to explore this rich world of solace, solutions and connection to Gaia. I wish for you to find well being on all levels, and to fully enjoy your precious life. This book is intended to inspire you to walk your healing journey, discover your herbal allies and begin to transform your experience of life from one of struggle to one of well-being and joy.
