“When I was told that I had Stage 4 metastatic cancer the floor fell out from under me. I immediately had prostate surgery and was told that the outcome will take aggressive treatment of radiation and chemo. I started with hormone shots to lower the spread of cancer.
Then with the help of my wife and daughter we started on a different path of natural herbs and supplements from Zen Medicine in Stuart. After about 7 months we started to notice a slight improvement with the PSA levels but was still not out of the woods. Through Zen Medicine and Nurse Practitioner Casey Thompson I was referred to Gina at Herbs & Owls in Jupiter.
Gina started an aggressive protocol that included supplements specific for my cancer such as turkey tail and reishi mushrooms, and many others. I also started a better diet to reduce the amount of preservatives and sugar. In addition, I also started using flower essences and practicing meditation with all seven chakras, primarily the heart chakra.
One year passed and we discovered my PSA levels had dropped and now about one and half years later my cancer has almost disappeared.
I would not be the person I am today if I took a different path. For me, I thank God and all the prayers sent my way. My family with the incredible support with days of worry and tears we never gave up! So many thanks to Zen Medicine and Herbs & Owls for their understanding and expertise! A special prayer to Herbs & Owls for their continuing care.
Miracles do happen my prayers go out to all of you! Thank you so much.”

“I started attending classes, workshops and one-on-one sessions with Gina at Herbs and Owls in February 2022. As a Grieving Mother of 15 years, I was a very broken women, and scared for my well being going forward. Gina helped me see things my Grandmother use to do for others. She helped me open my heart, mind and soul to a better life. I over came crippling anxiety, I was able to obtain peace of mind for the first time in many long years.
She is definitely my Shero. I recommend her highly, everywhere I go. Gina brings people together in community which is a powerful experience in itself. Her Flower Essence was extremely useful in my Healing Journey along with all the wonderful experiences I had in long and short term settings, indoors and outdoors. She takes her business seriously and she’s an absolute professional. She teaches you to heal yourself from trauma, stress, illness and so on. She is a beautiful soul to be around. I visit as often as possible now.
I have just started my very own Support Group for Grieving Mama’s. I have Gina to thank for the amazing start in my HEALING Journey and for the continued support she offers. Her added bonus is her Angel like voice. One guided meditation and you will adore her.
Stop chasing drugs and pills from doctors. Go see Gina, be true to yourself. Start really healing.”

“I had been on a medicine to reduce stomach acid that I knew was not a good long term solution, so I went to Herbs & Owls for a consult. Gina guided me through some dietary changes and I started on herbal medicine. In just two weeks I was off that big pharma medicine for good. Every day, I simply drink some herbal tea and I feel great.
After seeing the miracle of herbs first hand, I attended a class on how to make my own herbal tinctures. It was a relaxed, fun atmosphere with like-minded people. I learned a lot and will continue to attend classes to learn about different herbs.

“I really cannot say enough positive things about Gina. True to my nature, I decided to see Gina after I felt completely down and out. I was sluggish, foggy and just lacking motivation. After establishing that I was indeed not eating as healthfully as I wanted to believe, Gina started me on the Juice Plus program. Between the better nutrition, the flower essences, and getting a good chakra alignment, I was quickly on the path to my better version. As she had predicted, 1 positive step snowballed into many. After 2 sessions, I feel the magic restored. Thank you Gina”

Gina has guided me through the understanding of plants and their healing powers and now I live a life of supported health through plants. She has helped me understand that I have to take responsibility for my own health, as well as the health of my family. Gina has this wonderful connection to plants and shares that in such a comforting and supportive way. The second I walk through her door I am immediately calmed and relaxed. Having Gina work with me through plants and flower essence has helped me cope with the stress and anxiety from my every day life. Gina I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me and I am so happy the universe brought me to you and your beautiful talents.”
