Thank you for visiting Mamabotanica.com. I am excited to share my vision of personal and planetary well-being with you! This website is my venue for sharing information, promoting events, and passing along all around good ideas for how to live more fully in your body and more lightly on the planet.
 I see how we treat our bodies and how we treat the Earth as inextricably tied to each other. It seems silly to be concerned about “saving the world” when you are stressed out and not feeling good much of the time. It also strikes me as odd when I encounter people who are obsessed with their personal fitness or health but don’t have any idea where their food is grown or why it doesn't make sense to send kitchen scraps to the landfill.
I am a teacher by trade and by avocation. I am delighted to have the opportunity to share my experience with you.

I was intrigued about the use of healing plants in ritual, psychology, and physiology.
