My story
After an upbringing literally in the woods of the Magnetawan/Ahmic Harbour area of Ontario, followed by living in various towns and cities (Huntsville, Kingston, Toronto, Ottawa) for educational and career endeavors, it’s time to return to the woods of our beautiful and bountiful countryside. Now from Dunrobin, Holly is rekindling her roots and relationship with nature, and offering to help and support those interested in holistic herbal care. Her path to herbal medicine stemmed from a curiosity and fascination with all of Earth’s complexities and relationships, and the innate abilities of the human body/mind complex for health, balance and healing. She strives to provide high quality and personalized herbal care.
