“I first met Suzanne on a plant walk she led at the NorthWest Herb Symposium. I was impressed by her ability to weave together the science, tradition and stories of herbalism, all the while making it fun, and you will find that same remarkable balance of engagement and education in this book. It’s full of creative recipes, detailed instructions, herbal philosophy, and of course, science. If you’re looking to get started in the art of natural skin care, you’ll find this guide indispensable. All I need to do now is get with my soap making friends so I can whip up a batch of her pine tar bars for my friends and family!”

— Jodi Thomas, Founder, and CEO of PrimallyNourished.com
“Suzanne’s years of empowering people through her love of plants and herbal medicine leap from the pages of this beautifully written book. Suzanne generously offers up her beloved recipes, and health and wellness wisdom with clear instructions, inspiring direction that is suited for both the layperson and practicing herbalist. This book is a treasure trove of botanical information yet feels like a day in class. Great Aunt Mary would be proud.”
— Erin Vanhee, Herb Grower and Herbalist Instructor at Trillium Medicine
“Suzanne was one of my very first teachers and inspirations when I began my own herbal practice 30 years ago. Even then, she knew the landscape around us like the back of her hand, and her love for nature and the integrity of her work made an indelible impression in my beginner’s mind. Suzanne’s handprint will always be in my own work, as we all carry the signature of the teachers who entrust us with their wisdom. Here, Suzanne offers a glimpse of that landscape as it lives in her entire heart and soul, and a lifetime of learning, listening, practicing, creating and sharing her deep, hard-earned knowledge. The recipes in this book are tried and true and perfect; the instruction and guidance is invaluable. I can’t wait to put it in the hands of all of my own students and clients. What an absolute treasure trove she has given us all.”
