What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal Medicine is a healing tradition that has been practised for thousands of years all over the world.

It is the art and science of using plants to support the body’s natural healing processes.

Western medical herbalism blends centuries of knowledge about plants with modern medical research and training.

By harnessing the therapeutic powers of plants it can address serious health issues whilst supporting balance, vitality, and overall well-being in a holistic way.

Who is Amanita muscaria?

Amanita muscaria is the iconic fly agaric mushroom.

I have built a deep relationship with amanita as a healing fungus and adaptogen.

Amanita is still widely used in many Siberian regions and in Eastern Europe.

I was trained by Gerti Schoen, a psychedelic psychotherapist with a long history of working with amanita in her practice.

“ Steph has been treating me since she was a student and the exceptional care she takes to understand my complex life circumstances and symptoms has been a game changer for my health. ”
