I’ve had the privilege of studying with Suzanne for nearly 20 years. In the early days, I regularly traveled from Coeur d’Alene to Seattle just to take her courses—a testament to how valuable her teaching was to me. When she eventually moved to North Idaho, I was absolutely thrilled. Suzanne is an exceptionally gifted teacher with a remarkable depth of knowledge, and learning from her is always a true pleasure.

For me, after years of studying herbs through various ways and using them in my personal life, Suzanne’s hands on approach with her apprenticeship gave me the confidence boost I needed to keep me on this path of herbalism. The remedies we made with her are infused with the love she brings to this amazing world of herbs. I’m hoping to continue my herbal journey with her!
