“Entering the world of herbs and treatment the way we did in the courses brings a deep feeling of connectedness to nature and it’s offering to bring healing to mind, body and spirit. Nathan has a gift to help us to open up to the inner wisdom in each one of us.”  Hannah (2004)

“Excellent. Loved the practical aspects of it and I learned far more by doing and seeing that reading any of the books…I just need to spend a good deal of time doing more….”  Anne (2005)

“It was a real treat to be able to learn from someone who exudes such enthusiasm for the subject….in a genuinely holistic way.”  Sian (2006)

“Hugely enjoyable + has altered my perception of experiencing plants + herbs. When I left I dug up a small Lady’s Mantle and have repotted it at home. I have become hysterically attached to it and became quite distressed the other day when I didn’t think it had enough water! Clearly I have reached new heights of madness since my brush with you meditative types….!”  Janice (2006)

“I learnt so much about the preparation of herbs into tinctures, creams, oils etc….your approach made us very “at home”……all in all, it was a very valuable experience. I liked the intuitive approach and respect and love for the plants”  Sue (2006)

“Very interesting + a huge amount of knowledge covered (and hopefully gained!). Very inspirational.”   Fiona  (2006)

“Absolutely loved it !!! Enjoyed both the content, teaching and the pace. It has really opened my eyes and I am very keen to build on this knowledge”   Collette (2006)

‘This course is an awe inspiring and joyful adventure into the realm of plants. Nathaniel’s profound and empathetic understanding of both the plant and human kingdoms makes him an inspired teacher and companion on this in-depth journey’   Mary (2009)

‘The Intuitive Herbal Course has been a special time. I have been able to nurture my intuitions and beliefs, connect with nature and gain valuable experience working side by side with the herbs.’  Sue (2010)

‘Nathan was brilliant because he involved us from the start and made us experience for ourselves instead of telling us what we ‘should’ experience  or know. He worked on all our senses by touching and feeling the plant then he created the glorious smells. Once again he didn’t tell us what to expect but asked us to find out for ourselves from the experience we were having.

He carried us through the various stages in a very relaxed and calm way and gave us time to let the experience reach us deep down. Very masterly because he spoke with great wisdom. My scientific background can make me quite doubting about a lot that I hear from various people but Nathan worked from what was ‘your’ experience which I think was the only way to really reach me. An excellent experience.”    Bernard (2012)

When I saw the flyer for the 2014 courses I wanted to do it all again! There is such a huge depth to this study you could keep on exploring deeper and deeper. Emily (2013)
