"My two most enduring interests are plants and people, so I am fortunate that what I do melds both of these passions. For half my life, I have worked with herbs and natural medicine, and I can't imagine doing anything else. You see a change when people begin to incorporate natural health practices into their lifestyle. The body is always trying to assume a state of health and to live in harmony with nature. Natural medicine creates greater harmony."
