Testimonials

TESTIMONIALS

After moving through Pathway 2 and experiencing the profound transformation it brought, I remember thinking, “How could the next course possibly surpass this?” Pathway 2 was truly life-changing. Yet here I stand, having journeyed through Pathway 3, and it has completely outdone itself. The growth I’ve experienced, the deep connection to my ancestors, my inner self, my heart space, my higher self, and the sacred bond I now share with herbs have expanded in ways I could never have imagined. Pathway 3 has been the most incredible journey—an intimate dance with the wildflowers, where each herb offered me its wisdom and healing essence. Over the weeks, I integrated their gifts into my soul, feeling their presence in my body, mind, and spirit. Each flower became a guide, and together we moved as one, as if choreographed by the earth herself. Every step of this journey was enriched by the incredible Heidi, whose gentle guidance felt like that of an earth angel, walking beside me with love and encouragement, nurturing my every step. Her presence was like the grounding energy of the soil, reminding me that we are never alone. Pathway 3 has been unforgettable, and I will forever cherish the gifts of connection, healing, and creativity it brought into my life. I cannot wait to begin Pathway 4 and continue this wildflower connection. Thank you, Heidi—you are a truly remarkable guide and a radiant wildflower walker in your own right.” Stella, 2024. Shamanic Herbalism 3 of Flower Codes Training

Pathway 3 has been life changing. I have burst open to a deeper connection with myself and where I fit into the great oneness. I have not only integrated greater levels of wisdom into my being but this Pathway has become my life and the way I continue my journey through it. I am so excited to continue to work with the Flower Codes as a practitioner to share with an overflowing open heart the beautiful medicine and wisdom they hold.   Krystle, Australia, 2023 Flower Codes Training/Shamanic Herbalism

A wonderful way to meet, communicate and learn directly from the Plant Spirits themselves. Heidi has created an amazing online course to deepen your connection to Mother Earth and assist with healing and learn more about the deeper parts of yourself.”  Fin Mackenzie, 2021 Level 1 Flower Codes Training.

Wow! This has definitely been the most healing work I have ever done for myself! It has opened me to an even deeper language of the plant world and brought me back to the being I am and want to be. The way Heidi teaches is through guiding you to learn through your own intuitive understanding, it is a full sensory awakening and coming back to the body. She opens you to a world where working with each plant you might feel pulled to is a deep opportunity to grow, where your connection to mama nature is an even deeper understanding that you are deeply held and can call on advice whenever you need. Working with all the sisters who are also doing the course, gives one the deep nourishment of learning and loving together as womben as a collective. This course has completely changed my life, and I encourage anyone who feels a pull to it to just go for it!”  CC, South Africa, 2021 Level 1 Flower Codes Training.

“Heidi is a genuinely heart centred facilitator who is passionate about awakening humankind into a purer connection with both themselves and Nature.  Throughout the course, we were encouraged to access and activate our innate communication skills to receive from the plant its gifts and purpose. Doing this in a group environment I found heightened my receptivity and amplified the information input.
Heidi’s awareness is an incredible resource. I learnt so much about Alchemy, and honestly went through the alchemical process myself whilst we created the spagyric tincture!  Due to her humility and encouraging nature, I felt safe and supported to share my inner journeys and insights, also to process the deeper, sometimes uncomfortable, emotions that arose.  I recommend this Alchemy course to anyone choosing to deepen their connection with Nature and themselves. It’s a true gift that keeps on giving!   Heidi’s deep wisdom and grace inspired a wonderfully nourishing, expansive experience.
K.Weaver, Herbal Alchemy Dec 2018

“Thank you so much for a heartfelt, inspiring course in shamanic herbalism, filled with much knowledge, deep sacred earth wisdom, meditations, a beautiful mix and balance between audio/video/text, supportive teachers with beautiful souls and sacred space for reflections and personal soulwork. Every module opened up new insight and portals between the physical world and spiritworld, the veil between the worlds became thinner and made it easier to connect with the spirits, the green world and Mother Earth Gaia and deepened my nature connection. Heidi was so supportive and quick in her responses, if I had any questions about the course before I signed up and during the whole course with comments on my work.  I am so grateful that I signed up, I feel rich in new wisdom and insight and cant wait to used this gift in my every day life and in my work as a therapist.” Lene Rose, Norway. Shamanic Herbalism 1, 2019

I love everything about this course! It has given me a greater purpose and curiosity in connecting with nature and to naturally understand the essence of how everything is connected.  Patricia, Shamanic Herbalism, 2021

“I learnt a lot from Heidi just being in her presence as she facilitated this course. Her calm energy & ability to keep things simple yet powerful is definitely something I will take away & put into practice.”  K.Cameron, 2020.

“This course has been so beneficial for many areas of daily life. Bringing awareness to the medicine within me, the cycles and nature that are imprinted in our dna. I loved this course as not only has it brought me back to the inner knowing but it has activated new vibrations within me.” Anon, Shamanic Herbalism 1, 2019.

“Thank you again, Heidi, for another magical, soulfilled course! So much new insight and so much deep healing. This course was even more soul-shaking, in a good way, than module 1. It really opened up some deep, long forgotten doorways into my essence that I had locked away. So much shadow-work; pain, hurt, sorrow, trauma transforming into light and a new creative inspiration and lifeforce. Your are such a humble and authentic soul, that it is easy to take in what you teach, believe it and feel it. Never any pressure. But time, space, respect and a heartfelt open-ness to our differences, opinions and healing-pace. You are in safe hands when working with Heidi. She listens and guides you softly but steady. And are interested in your opinions. This module is hard work. It is deep. It hurts. It burns. It exhausted me. But it was necessary, so deeply needed. To release old pain, heal old wounds and come out of it with beautiful wisdom and childlike magic, lighter in heart, soul and mind. In this moment feeling a deep inner feeling of freedom and the powerful breath of life in my veins! Thank you♥ L.R. Shamanic Herbalism Pathway 2

I highly recommend the Flower Code training to those seeking a deeper relationship with the plant world and its devas, a connection and communion with the natural world, and the ancient wisdom that lies within us, waiting to be discovered. I learned and discovered so much during this training that I didn’t even expect at first. I use this knowledge daily, about cycles, the elements, meditating with the elements, connecting with plants and their devas, and connecting with ancestors—I truly needed to discover this knowledge, to organize it, to raise my consciousness, to discover my own magnificence as a being, and to restore my wholeness. The training material is carefully structured, leading from the foundations to more advanced topics. It’s invaluable experience to pass through your own birthing portal and to be reborn into your own truth and wisdom. The course is simply beautiful, pure, safe, so compasionate, it’s really like a wonderful balm to the soul, it is like coming home. It is a journey into our amazingness and ancient wisdom of the nature also nature within us, as we are connected and in oneness. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who feels called.
Dorota Pielech-Nazimek, Poland, 2025. Level 1 Shamanic Herbalism Flower Training.

I am beyond grateful to have connected with you and your teachings  and look forward to deepening my plant spirit connection and communication!  A.B.

“I would highly recommend this course if you are looking to get reacquainted with your deeper wisdom and inner knowing. Heidi and Janine offer a beautiful doorway and supportive tools and knowledge to guide the way. It’s a fabulous journey get to know yourself.” Maryanne, Shamanic Herbalism 1, 2019.

“This course has been a gentle yet powerful immersion into deepening my connection with nature and plants. Thank you.” Kim Deans, Shamanic Herbalism 1, 2019

This course has given me the tools to understand myself and nature deeply. It feels effortless and nurturing to understand how everything is connected through all the practices. I feel grounded, inspired and excited to be on this path that will continue to unfold into more knowledge and insights. I have learnt that the essence of who I am is within my intuition and allowing my heart to follow the whispers of nature. Thank you Heidi for this beautiful work. I would recommend this to anyone who feels the calling in climbing the stairways to heaven ~ to understand oneself. P.E. Shamanic Herbalism 1, 2021

Thank you both. I have loved the course. My Materia Medica is coming along slowly.
I think it’s wonderful that you are offering this guidance to connect with plants on this level. It is precious to be able to learn a skill that puts our healing and learning in our own hands.
G.G. Shamanic Herbalism 1, 2019

“This course was a wonderful way to explore shamanism from a herbal perspective. As a practicing Herbalist I feel that here in Australia we don’t have the opportunity to wildcraft as much as our American brethren and we lose touch with the spiritual aspect of Herbalism and have no contact with the spirit of the plant. This course teaches you to access this hidden realm in order to enrich your practice and your life!” Fin Mackenzie, Shamanic Herbalism 1, 2019.

“I loved that this course came from a place of real experience and love, and of course that it was focused on our own experience. I believe that herbalists and other therapists who work with plants need to do this. I believe that if we are working in this way we really need to know the plants on an intimate level.” M.C. Shamanic Herbalism, 2019.

“I would recommend this course to anyone interested in engaging in direct perception with the plant world or looking to bring more Now into their lives & searching for meaning & a deeper perspective in life.” Tracey Maclean. Shamanic Herbalism, 2019

“Thank you so much for this lovely course and deep introduction into the plant path!” Juliane Schrakamp, Shamanic Herbalism, 2019.

Thank you again for another amazing session last week! Communing with our plant friends has really helped me to trust my intuition and to speak my truth.”
Julie B, Sacred Medicine Plant Wisdom, 2018.

“I didn’t realise it was possible to fall in love with a plant each week.  Such a heart opening experience.  Thank you!” N.B. Sacred Medicine Plant Wisdom, 2018

Thank you!  This was one of the best experiences I have ever had.  It gave me the chance to open new perspectives in my life.”  M.M. Sacred Medicine Plant Wisdom, 2018

I love this course!  Such a beautiful way to open up venturing into the plant spirit kingdom.  What a wonderful world to see again!  You’re an awesome teacher and thanks for holding space so beautifully.  I am so happy we did this, I learnt so much.”  C.O. Sacred Medicine Plant Wisdom, 2018.

“You are amazing at holding the space for journeying. Thank you so so much. This journey was very clear and informative and a loved all the little extras also.”  M.M. Ancestor circle 2019.

“I had recently become aware of a need to connect with my ancestors when this course came up and having already participated in a course with Heidi, I felt really safe to go on this journey with her. Through her gentle, informative guidance I feel like I have opened up a gateway that I have always wanted but felt blocked from. Sharing our stories within the intimate group was beautiful, and the journeys we took so safely and gently guided. Heidi is a wonderful facilitator with such an openness and wealth of knowledge. Thank you. Would love to continue this work beyond the four weeks!” Jody B. Ancestor Circle 2019

“Heidi, Thank you for leading me through this journey to discover my ancestral lines both forward and back! I loved how you created a space where I felt safe to share and explore, and I loved the easy going atmosphere with minimum bells and whistles that made me feel instantly in the company of friends.” Alicia C. 2019 Ancestor circle

“I experienced over this 4 week Ancestor course a palpable difference in my attitude and experience of my roots, my family of origin. I connected with a positive, empowered feminine role model and guide, I connected more deeply with the strength of the oak and the granite, the landscape of my Swiss ancestry. My bones and viscera feel deeply nourished by this connection, my back bone got stronger. I love how Heidi embodies the depth of knowing for  herself, how transformative and grounding her work is; and, how she has the lightness of a feather in her way of guiding, allowing for participants to have their unique journeys and ways to enter this transpersonal field. She encourages to drop any judgment or expectations and just be with whatever arises or doesn’t arise. Through this trusting way, each participant got their connection in their own personal way.It was a very rich field to be in, hearing each other’s sharing, the depth of the human soul, historical events, different landscapes and cultures from around the globe. Thank You Beautiful, so much gratitude for your potent, lighthearted and loving guidance.”   Claudine Gertrude, Ancestor Circle, 2018.

“This is a transformational course, self empowering, I feel as though I met myself and understand more.  I felt held and safe throughout.  The women we shared parts of ourselves with are truly inspirational and special.  Thank you Heidi for unlocking a side of life and nature to all of us.”  Earth Medicine, 2018

“I feel very happy and joyful to have given myself this time to enter a magical world under the benevolent and clear guidance of the beautiful Heidi.”  N.V. Earth Medicine, 2018

It was a beautiful reminder of deep listening and the healing that occurs in this space. Thank you Heidi.” R.B. Sacred Medicine Plant Wisdom, 2017.

“The journey work I’ve done with Heidi has taken my connection to nature to another level, enabling me to recognize the spirit in all things, not just in the trees, but in the complex inner workings of all creation.” J.C.  Earthwork, 2016.

The Earthwork workshop was beautifully and gently held, and brought ancient wisdoms of connecting with nature into a reality that could be felt. It brought me insightful realizations that I can use in my everyday world. Thankyou.”  Jani G. Earthwork, 2016.

“I have had the absolute pleasure, and incredibly sacred opportunity, to observe, be touched by, and absolute immerse myself in the wonder and power of Heidi’s practices. What a powerful, wonderful experience! With the most amount of grace I have ever witnessed, truth and beauty, she carries us, each week, to a place beyond my wildest dreams, and to a long-lasting space of strength and connection to Spirit.  An unforgettable experience. So, so grateful!”  K.C. Earthwork, 2016.

“This 3 module course was a beautiful and gentle way to open to a deeper connection with the plant world. It’s encouraged me to take more time to be in nature, which is so nourishing for the whole being! I am excited to get to know all about this plant (new ally), and develop a deeper relationship with it.” S.B Plant Ally Course, 2019

“Thank you for this beautiful introduction, and I’m looking forward to getting to know my ally more deeply over the months and years to come.” E.C.  Plant Ally Course, 2019.

 I had the opportunity to participate in The Shamanic Herbalism Apprenticeship Pathways 1 and 2 in person with Heidi. Over 5 months a small group of local women met to journey together which created a long-lasting connection. Whilst I was first drawn to the apprenticeship to deepen my plant spirit connection and learn more about herbalism, after the first couple of weeks I realised it was going to be that and a whole lot more! Heidi’s gift for holding space and providing a safe, nurturing environment to surrender and share allowed me to drop into self-discovery on a whole new level. The birth work in particular unravelled parts of my psyche – deep rooted wounding’s and birth imprints that had been unconsciously playing out in my life showed themselves. Whilst working with the beautiful plant allies, with grace and gratitude I gave respect and reverence to the parts of me which were once hidden and with courage and awareness I was able to transform these challenging stories into long lasting medicine. Along with the deep inner work that beautifully unfolded, overall Pathways 1 and 2 was a fun, embodied and playful experiential journey, with deep nature connection, journeying, shared experiences and practices, and unfiltered honest group sharing. I thank Heidi immensely for sharing her wisdom and the work of the flower codes and also gratefully thank the plants for their role in my journey as teachers and allies.
Lotus, 2024, Shamanic Herbalism Apprenticeship

“I found Heidi’s wellspring journeys profoundly healing on a personal and cultural level. I had never done something like this before, because I am very cautious about how white Australians navigate the cultural wound in and on this land, when operating in these animistic realms. However, I felt extremely safe in Heidi’s ability to hold cultural respect for this land, its people’s and the history that’s occurred here, as well as hold respect and reverence to the lands where the waters had come from. It was an amazing opportunity to make contact with the lands of my ancestors which I have been deeply longing for, without having to physically travel there. I felt a sense of safety and homecoming with some waters that was really unexpected, and a sense of that land that deeply met and soothed a core ache in me. I received a deep and profound healing of my inner conflict between different cultural aspects within my own being, between the English/coloniser and Irish/Welsh/Scottish/colonised parts. Heidi provided an amazing learning about all the wells that we visited through extensive research. Her knowledge and personal sharings are what helped weave together the rich tapestry of learning we experienced together. And her grounded calm leadership provided a warm safe container for us to be able to dive into those realms together with safe passage.”
