WHO’S LADYB?

LadyB, Barbara Hall: I’ve been an herbalist and teacher for many years, having apprenticed with Susun Weed in NY back in ‘93 and teaching in NY State even before that.

I embrace the Wise Woman Tradition of Healing (trust yourself, it’s all a spiral, ALLY with the wild plants that come up between your toes) and have been a professional gardener for well over 30 years, having an odd affinity for WEEDS.

My approach to teaching about the Healing Plants is that
they are WAY more than the sum of their milligrams,
and so my classes do not focus on constituent specifics so much as how we can learn to FEEL what each plant has to offer US
at any given TIME.

Teaching is one of the most joyous things I do. I just love it,
and I learn from every student’s path that crosses mine.

To see some of my herbal input, do check out

I moderate the Healing Wise and Plant Allies section.
