What Students Are Saying

“I found myself called through my ancestors to herbs. I didn’t understand why, from my childhood, I was so in love/fascinated with flowers, herbs, weeds, etc. In my adulthood, I found myself gravitating more and more toward the desire to make magic and help heal through the plants my life’s journey... and then I googled, “herbs near me” and Herbs & Owls popped up and in my heart, I heard - “that’s it!”

I drove down the next day (from Fort Pierce). I was greeted by the most loving and gentle spirit, then walked in Gina with a smile that could save the world. I was introduced to this class and my life changed immediately.

Gina has a soft yet direct way of teaching. She’s informative well beyond what you would ever expect. Every class was an eye opener, every topic blew my mind. At times, I found myself tearing up during her teaching driven by the passion, love, and respect Gina had for every word she said. I thought I was going to learn about the herbs...I did... But - (sigh) - the expansion of my mind was massive!

I not only learned about herbs, I felt them, was introduced directly to them energetically and vibrationally, I met a part of me I had no idea existed.

Gina had everything to do with that realization. I got something new from each class and it was amazing. Gina always told us to feel the information; it wasn’t about just text book learning... it was about connecting with the information in the heart. It was a deep experience.

To anyone thinking about taking the class - DO IT! WITHOUT HESITATION! You will not get this experience from anywhere else. I’ll bet a check on that (and I make pretty good money ((wink). Thank you, Gina, for everything you gave us (me). You blessed me in the most divine way imaginable! You are a gift, truly. Folks, take...the...class!! You will NOT regret it.” — Cynkia, the Herbalist

“Gina's kindness, knowledge and spirit made learning and understanding all of this pure pleasure. I have learned to look at Mother Earth and all she has to offer us in a whole new light. I know now to communicate with the plants and use them for healing both body and soul. I feel renewed, Thank You!” — Linda

I want to Thank Gina for sharing her knowledge with all who will listen.” — Romany J. Roxton (RJ)

“Thank you so much Gina! This Herbalist Program was everything I could have hoped for and more. After many years of dabbling and solo study through books, videos and podcasts, learning in person with you was the perfect next step. I feel much more confident in my understanding of the herbs that we covered. The material was put together in a way that made it very easy to digest and each lesson built together a solid foundation for us to take with us. I loved that you pulled in energy healing, meditation and connection with the land. It’s all so intertwined and helps us connect to herbalism in a much deeper way. The homework was really helpful, especially as an opportunity to start making herbal medicine with teas for ourselves. Gina’s energy is warm, welcoming and graceful. It was truly a pleasure learning from her. Thank you Gina for sharing your wisdom and creating such a beautiful container for us to learn from! Looking forward to taking more classes with you!” — Jackie Franco

“This program opened doors for me to explore so much more about plants and healing than I thought possible. The classes were very interactive, informative, and enjoyable for me. I acquired skills and knowledge that I will use for the rest of my life. Such a pleasure meeting new people with a similar interest in natural healing- definitely a memorable experience.” — Allison

“This is incredible class, with a great teacher. What was such a delight about this class was that I was able to implement so many things I learned each week into my daily life. Some subjects that I’m familiar with, I had not been practicing so I was able to re-introduce these valuable practices back into my daily life. Gina is a wonderful teacher, (I’m a lifelong learner, with many teachers over the years), and I’m a teacher. Gina thank you for your lifelong learning of these wonderful valuable practices and your wiliness to share them.

This is a class that is invaluable to our planet, and to us human’s moving forward. I believe we need to get back to some ancient knowledge, that’s been placed aside in our culture. Our children would greatly benefit from this knowledge. I will be back for your next class!” — Darlis M. Mayes, MS
