"It's a wonderful feeling seeing these students train for three years and then graduate and go out and make a success in their chosen career. I feel fortunate to meet up with some of these herbalists that I have taught and hear about how they take herbal medicine to the wider community.
"Herbal Medicine is amazing and the future is bright for herbalists. More and more people are turning to a healthier way of living and this can be the only way forward to become a healthier nation. As a Medical Herbalist, I feel I have a debt to society to teach them how to be healthier and lead a more natural life. I feel blessed and want to share my knowledge when I can."
