Description

Hello!

Here's a little bit about me...

I am originally from Washington, USA but I currently living on Vancouver Island, Canada for the past 4 years. I moved to Canada to study herbalism and traditional chinese medicine. I am now working as a community herbalist and recently completed my Canadian Acupuncture licensing exam.

While waiting for my acupuncture license and integrating the last 4 years of school, I am eager to explore new places, share my skills, and learn from others.

This is my first time as a workawayer, although I have travelled and worked through WWOOFing in the past. I find work trade to be one of the most enriching experiences. I have lived full time on a market garden, permaculture farm for 3 months, and have worked full time and part time on other farms, mainly market garden style as well. I have learned so much from farming, aside from tending and growing, it has fostered a strong work ethic in me and has taught me the true meaning of fruits of your labour. I love working hard, getting my hands in the soil, and tending mother earth.

I have travelled to many corners of the world, but always come home to the ocean. I enjoy surfing, swimming, diving. Other hobbies are gardening, foraging, making herbal products hiking, cooking nourishing food, and being with good people. Im always up for an adventure!
Holistic living is deeply important to me. I practice yoga, meditation and many forms of body work. I have much admiration for traditional philosophies and simple ways of life.

I am an easy going person who loves to connect with people and nature.

Looking forward to meeting you!
