Description

Hi :))

I finished my herbalism degree last year in Belgium and would love to learn more about herbs and plants in other parts of world. I discovered my passion for natural medicine in South America. I got so inspired of how they are so connected with their ancestral knowledge to cure themselves with the "weeds" that grow in their backyard. Their connection and respect for nature touched me very deeply. Something that I also started applying in my life.
I would like to help in environments where I can expand my knowledge about medicinal herbs.

Living a healthy and happy lifestyle is very important to me. Waking up early, doing yoga, pranayama and meditation is my daily routine. This together with eating healthy and trying to follow what gives me joy and and doing things that recharge my batteries are key.

My stay with Laura, Andreas and Maxine was beyond amazing!

Laura is such a wise woman, she has an enormous knowledge about herbs and plants in general. I loved working with her on the fields, we chatted a lot but also did a lot of harvesting work together.

The work was mainly harvesting, stripping and washing the harvest to make it ready to … read more

Atma is a very kind and caring man where you can have a good and profound conversation with.

I wish you the best of luck with your … read more

I had the opportunity to stay in the house of Alex with his family. Alex is a man full of ancient wisdom and I felt really inspired by him. His family is adorable and loved every second I shared with them. Sometimes I had to do maintenance jobs in the house or I had to go to his other house (where he mostly does ceremonies) to help over … read more
