Hello!
My name is Nikola Barsoum,
I'm a Clinical Herbalist student and certified Permaculture Designer with a background in community-based herbalism, regenerative herb farming, seed saving and community food forest initiatives.
I love to work with medicinal herbs and ecologically restorative farming practices within a community context as a practitioner, educator and grower.
​
WHAT IS COMMUNITY BASED HERBALISM?
Herbal medicine is the peoples medicine.
​
"A medicine of the people will, first and foremost, take place nearby. Caring begins with the people who know us. A cellular harmony exists between plant and animal species sharing the same environment. Certainly, conventional medical care serves a good purpose. Yet somewhere between our body's innate ability to heal itself and conventional medicine lie situations that can be bridged by common sense and a compassionate connection to the world into which we are born. A bridge that knowledgeable herbalists can provide. A world that the plants are ready and willing to share."
