About me

I have been interested in, and using, healing herbs for most of my life.  The first part of my life was spent in fascination for the herbs of my area of Northern England, and of Cornwall, that I visited frequently. When at the age of 14, I went to New Zealand, a whole different set of herbs presented themselves - those of traditional Maori medicine.  Since 1996, I have been living in the Scottish Highlands, and have returned to my herbal 'roots'!

Introductions to aromatherapy and crystals increased my fascination for natural healing. I now also practise Reiki.  All this has led to my business Panacea.  I strongly believe that business should be ethical, so I am careful where I source my products. I can verify both their quality and effectiveness.  

I also make some of the products on this site...the Panacea Potions, Panacea Pouches, Greenwoman Jewellery, Measan na Mara Jewellery, Real leaf Jewellery, and Faerie Glen ranges.
