About
Welcome to Herb & Soul, let me introduce myself…
Hello friends! I'm Karen (also known as Sula – the name given to me by my Irish friends and family, Gaelic for 'little unique one') and next to me you'll find Joey, my beautiful border collie/soul mate/healer/herbal medicine quality control!
My ethos is my dream, it's simple – to connect people with plants, reconnect humanity to nature. In turn, creating a ripple effect of healing for people and planet.
My journey into herbalism began during my travels around the world in my 20s and 30s, particularly whilst living in Ibiza and then India and Nepal where I experienced completely unique traditions of living alongside the plants and found myself being guided and healed by them in profound ways that changed my path in ways I'll never look back from. I had a deep calling to reconnect with the ancestral wisdom of plant medicine healing (in all honesty, I didn't have a choice!)
Growing up in Scotland and ending up back here after worldly adventures, I've reconnected to my roots, following the seasons of these lands alongside our native wild plants and living by the Celtic calendar which embraces the celebrations of each pivotal point for nature through the year. It's amazing!
Through my years of studying Naturopathy, Herbology (the study of all things plants) and Herbal Medicine through schools and communities such as the wonderful Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and my current school The Plant Medicine School in Ireland, with the encouragement and support of my teachers and elders, I founded Herb & Soul in Spring 2024 – an awakening of something new and my dream sprung to life!
I work with plants in many ways but here are a few:
Through gentle guidance and shared experience, I help others discover the magic and healing that is all around us. Every remedy I craft, every walk or experience I lead, every workshop I teach is rooted in respect for the land and its gifts. A true promotion of holistic wellbeing.
There's always an invitation to get in touch to chat or find out more… My plants and I would love to hear from you!
