Hi, I'm Rox. based in Scotland in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. I look forward to welcoming you on a walk, a workshop, a yoga class, a retreat or to stay in our Sage's Cabin.
​
I wear several hats as a mind-body therapist and community herbalist. Working with the innate healing of the body and the wisdom of our plant teachers and guides. I'm interested in the animist view of the world seeing everything as having consciousness defining how we can interact with the world around us. I am particularly interested in the ways of the wise women of old, weaving together magic, mystery, science and art to bring healing to their communities. I find food culture, culinary medicine and herbal medicine fascinating. As a women and a mother I find that I am drawn to work in this area of women and family healing, but I am equally passionate about building community resilience and strength through herbal knowledge.
​
As such I am a the founder of the non-profit Movement in Thyme CIC and Historical Herbalists, a volunteer organiser with the Mobile Herbal Clinic Calais (First aid clinic for refugees in Calais), ambassador for the Herb Society UK, one of the organisers of the Scottish Wild Food Festival, a member of The Association of Foragers..
