Would you like to learn about herbal medicines and wild foods organically,
without having to memorise tonnes of information?

 

People usually start learning about herbal medicines for 2 reasons:

  1. They feel a special connection with Nature and want to trust in the healing of the Earth. On many levels, herbs align best with their values. 
  2. They want resilience. They’re fed up with doctors and pharmaceuticals. They want effective alternatives to synthetic chemicals.  Even better when they can find, grow or source these remedies locally.

 

In both cases, you believe in the theory that plants can heal…

but you want to know how to really heal with plants.

I love to teach …

  • Artists, Empaths, Foodies & Healers who already feel a special connection with Nature

  • Parents & Caregivers who want to feel CONFIDENT using local herbs to heal loved ones

  • Regular Folks who don’t intend to become professional herbal practitioners

My approach seeks to balance:

    1. the reality that each herb is a beautiful gift, a living poem

    2. the practicality of each remedy being safe and reliable when needed.

Deep Nature Connection
Herbal Medicine Making
Direct Communication with Plants

 

Foraging from the Wild

Through Connection, Empathy and Kinship with the Living World,

you begin to understand that Plants are aware, intelligent beings.

“The Herbal Integration Course completely transformed my relationship with plants—from one of passive, shallow and intellectual appreciation, to one of deeper love, soft intuition, understanding and respect. I no longer just see the plant world as ‘nice nature stuff we should protect,’ but rather as a beautifully complex and diverse ecosystem of friends who have a core role to play in the healing of the world, including myself. ”

Hi. I’m Garliq.

I’ve taught hundreds of people like you, to successfully heal with herbs.  And you may have noticed, I have an uncommon take on herbalism.

One of my superpowers is balancing the “spiritual” and the “practical” sides of herbalism.

This keeps you aligned with your values and trusting your lived experience.

These days, I’m very excited about the overlap between personal healing and our collective cultural repair. Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

I love sharing the incredible empowerment and life-changing connections that herbs offer to those who will listen to them.

You’ve found what you’re looking for if…

  • You want to reduce your reliance on pharmaceuticals and mainstream medicine

  • You want to be empowered by using your own homemade remedies to heal yourself and your family

  • You’re open to having deep meaningful relationships
    with plants
