My Story

My story began in a quiet English village in Fleet, Hampshire, surrounded by greens, wise old trees, and dandelion leaves. It was here that my passion for herbalism sprouted.

A few years later, because of my father’s work, our family moved overseas to California, where I spent my childhood in Del Mar, San Diego. Untouched land was still common and we spent our days roaming open fields, hiking, and riding our bikes to the beach.

Eventually my father’s career took us back to England, to the very house where I was born. The great trees, open land, and seasonal changes gave me a renewed sense of connection with nature’s rhythms.

During my university years, I pursued herbal medicine to find relief from chronic headaches and digestive issues. I began to feel real changes in my body, mind, and spirit.

Traveling across Australia, Southeast Asia, and Europe deepened my respect for herbal wisdom. In villages where people practiced this ancient art out of necessity, I saw how alive this knowledge still was. And on the island of Malta, I met my husband.

We traveled through Southeast Asia and Canada before settling in England, where we had our first child. Later, we moved to St. Thomas, Ontario — open land, quiet roads, and beautiful beaches. I was home.

Herbal medicine became our way of life for our growing family. Herbs became my go-to for common ailments, from colds to sleep troubles, and I learned to trust my instincts — when to turn to nature’s remedies.

I signed up for my first herbal class when our daughter was born. Listening, tasting, and learning about local plants hooked me instantly.

Understanding plants — their nutritional and medicinal properties — deepened my passion. I began formulating different blends for family and friends. After two years of refining, it was time to share these creations with the world.

I launched Wildflowers Tea in spring 2011. This path feels like home. I continue to formulate and create herbal blends so others can experience the same healing joy.

Education remains central. I hold a “Visionary Herbal Educator” diploma and study for a “Clinical Herbalist” certification. Herbal learning is a lifelong journey.

Our family now resides on a 9-acre organic farm where we wildcraft, harvest, and grow ethically — with head, heart, and hands. We hope to continue sharing our blessings for many years to come.
