Plants have been a constant companion throughout my life.

Since childhood, when my grandfather Jean gave me my first herbal book and taught me about them, I have felt the healing power of plants, a deep connection that fills me.

I always wanted to know more about the healing power of plants, to create effective herbal medicines, to heal, to experience the plant world as a living, breathing entity, and to practice holistic herbal medicine.

Thus, I have had the privilege of learning and experiencing much at the Josef Angerer School of Naturopathy, as well as with many herbalists and healers in Europe, Asia, and North and South America.

Through this experience, I have grown to believe that medicinal plants are benevolent towards us, that our life's threads reach deep into the plant kingdom.

I have documented my knowledge of medicinal plants in my books, such as "Medicine of the Earth," "Leaves of Trees," "The Great Book of Hydrosols," and others.

I pass this knowledge on in seminars on topics such as aromatherapy, gaiamancy, tree cultivation, permaculture, and medical self-sufficiency.

I am delighted that many of my students who completed the herbal medicine training with me now run schools, practice naturopathy, and write books.
