About Julia

Julia is the mother of two home-birthed children. As a child, Julia spent her summers at her Grandmother’s house in Germany, in the town where the Grimm Brothers wrote.
 
This inspired Julia’s love of people and their stories and the healing journeys they find themselves on. Helping to make herbal teas and herbal medicine, Julia found that plants were a part of the tradition of healing and would help her grandmother make traditional potions for the family and animals.
 
Whilst traveling the world as a young women Julia came across various shamans and healers and saw people using plants successfully. Her lifelong love and passion towards women’s health and her whole family’s well-being has led Julia to use plants to nourish people of all ages.
“People come and go in life, but plants are always there and if you are connected to plants you are never alone”
