#8 My interview with Melanie St. Ours on herbalism, chronic illness and plant initiations

I am extremely proud and excited to share this latest episode with you! I met Melanie St. Ours about a year and a half ago when I did a course on ancestral healing that she co-taught and looking back now I think that really was the gateway that got me into herbalism. This is a really beautiful interview in which she shared her perspective on chronic illnesses, asking for help, working with trauma and herbalism. Enjoy and check out her free Youtube series on the foundations of healing!  Melanie St. Ours is a clinical herbalist specializing in mental health and women's health. She is the founder of Psyche & Soma LLC.
