Hi, my name is Lisa McAndrew. I live with my wonderful husband at Good Heart Farm™ in northwest Tasmania. Here we practice and teach self sufficiency through our Good Heart School of Self Sufficiency™ and save heritage food plants through our Food Plant Sanctuary™.
I became interested in herbs and nutrition after I became unwell with chronic fatigue whilst living on our previous farm in Western Australia. I saw a naturopath who did help me get well with herbs and supplements, but when I suffered a miscarriage and relapsed my chronic fatigue, I could not longer afford the cost of naturopaths. This led me to learning about herbs and nutrition for myself, and with my husbands help, growing herbs on our farm for my own personal use. I also bought herbs and started to make my own herbal medicine preparations, especially tinctures as I could not buy them in the shops in Australia. What I discovered amazed me. I learnt how to deal with everyday health issues such as bites and stings, as well as with colds and flu. I also learnt about herbs that support our immune system and general well-being. I've tried all sorts of different herbs myself and have helped out my family and friends along the way.
I call myself a Community Herbalist as I have taught myself and help out my family and friends (my community) . This is a term that is used in America to distinguish people who have taught themselves from those that have gone to a school or college. Both paths are equally valid in America and the American Herbalists Guild does not distinguish one as being better that the other. In fact some of America's most famous herbalists such as Rosemary Gladstar are Community Herbalists.
Since walking a path to healing, I want to share with as many people as possible the wonderful power of healing herbs. Let them change your life!
Many Blessings,
Lisa McAndrew
