I was in the corporate world for many years at many different levels, mostly in management, sales and marketing. As my life goals have always being directed towards helping people, and being lucky enough to be treated with herbs most of my younger years in my native country Mexico.

I decided to go back to school and dedicate my life to helping people with health conditions by using herbalism, which is one of the oldest complementary medicines in the world. Therefore I do clinic consultations and teachings at all levels so people can discover the choices that herbalism has to offer.

I am a graduate of the 4 year Medical Herbalist course of the College of Phytotherapy in England. Prior to this I completed all 3 levels of the Bach Flower Remedies Professional Training. In addition, I got my Chartered Herbalist designation from Dominion Herbal College and my Reiki Master designation in 1997.

My passion for Herbalism started at a young age as I was raised with herbs in my native Mexico (one of the oldest herbal traditions in Latin America).

I have lectured at the University of Guadalajara Faculty of Medicine, Dominion Herbal College as well as other learning institutions.

I  have worked in the complementary Medicine field for several years.
I am an avid long distance runner, and believe that people should take the responsibility of taking better care of themselves at all 3 levels, Spiritual, Mental and Physical in order to achieve a more enjoyable and balanced life.

My approach to a client’s health includes Herbalism, Exercise, Nutrition and Meditation. 
I am a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (UK), American Herbalist Guild (USA) and the Canadian Herbalists Association of BC.

This site is dedicated to medical herbalism Western tradition, which is the one developed from the great civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greeks, Romans, as well as the blend of native Americans and the Anglo-American original therapeutic core.

Now that herbal medicine has attained a well deserved prestige, as a result of widespread discontent with allopathic medicine, and the people 's search for medicines that will compliment their needs, we have the responsibility to learn more about herbal medicine and how to use it safely.

Herbal medicine is of great importance to the health of the individuals according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and it is estimated that 80% of the world's population relies on traditional herbal medicines for a significant part of their health care. 

I will try to give you the latest information about medicinal plants as well as information related to safe usage of herbs for specific conditions. My goal is to increase people awareness, knowledge and safety while using herbal medicine. Remember self medication or self diagnosis with herbs is not appropriate nor safe.

This page will grow to include herbal research and other related herbal topics that will enhance our knowledge about herbs and how to used them to prevent, maintain, or bring our health back to balance. Your input is not only welcome but expected.

There have been many people to whom I would like to thank, not only for my herbal knowledge but also to make this page possible.

Several herbalist have helped me in my formal herbal education, but my first herbal teacher was my mother to whom I thank for opening the wonderful world of herbs at a tender age, she not only gave me my first medicinal tea but she planted the herbal knowledge seed in my young brain.
