Who will be my teacher on this fantastic day?
Salena Walker: I am a fully qualified Herbalist, Naturopath, Nutritionist and teacher with over twenty years of teaching experience. I am registered with both the NNA (Naturopathic Nutrition Association) and URHP (Unified Register of Herbal Practitioners). I live on ten acres of land with my partner, with whom I built a wooden cabin at the edge of our woodland. This is our permanent home and the centre of our natural lifestyle. My mission in life is to empower people with the tools they need to heal, focusing on connecting their body back to nature and learning how to create medicine from nature.
I feel as if I have been studying naturopathy and herbalism since a young child, as I explored making herbal infusions for hay fever, experimented with potions and spent time filling jars with petals and flowers. I discovered the stillness and healing power of nature amongst the beautiful Welsh landscape in the Valleys of South Wales, where I grew up.
My real deep dive into the world of naturopathy and herbalism began back in 2008. I started to become very tired. In fact, the word ‘tired’ does not even begin to describe how I felt. Neither myself, nor my doctor, had any idea of what was wrong. I was finally diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Pernicious Anaemia. I believed the diagnosis, but was too stubborn to accept the prognosis. And so my journey began… I started my studies with the intention of learning, but eventually found the way to healing my autoimmune dis-ease and ended up becoming a practitioner, a naturopathic and herbalist teacher, writer and a motivational wellness speaker!
Plants have played a key role in my life journey. One of my main reasons for choosing to live in the woods is to be able to connect with the plants every day and night and throughout all seasons. Over the years I have lived on our land, I have reignited my love of the plants and I have cultivated deep friendships with the native plants. I love spending the days with my hands deep in the rich earth and I have spent years getting to know each plant as an individual being but also understanding their role in the whole plant kingdom.
I am passionate about living the naturopathic way, at one with nature. My aim is to empower people with the tools they need for their own healing journey, back to nature.
