I’m looking for some dried lavender to purchase in the West Michigan area. Any recommendations?
What quantity are you seeking?
Lisa,
I received your name a friend of my son. Her name is Aisling Badger. I would like to schedule a consultation with you however, Wednesdays are difficult for me. Is there any possibility of being able to schedule on a Thursday morning or Friday during the day?
Gail W.
Hi Gail.
Please send me an email to lisa.rose.starner@gmail.com to discuss. I limit my consultations to Wednesdays to accomodate family and children – particularly as it is now summertime – and have little time outside that to offer this service. But am confident we can arrange something that can work for your schedule.
Sincerely,
Lisa
Hi Lisa!
I stumbled over your blog today while I was googling recipe ideas for the huge chunk of Chaga I just pulled off one of my mom’s birch trees the other day. thanks for all the good ideas! Im a student herbalist…ive been studying herbs for about 5 years now, and for the last three ive been working with another herbalist Lisa in my hometown of Utica, NY. it started as an apprenticeship but shes turned into more of a mentor now. Im also a full-time nursing student, hoping to get my masters afterwards and blend herbs and western medicine in clinical practice ; ) cant wait to read your updates!!
I am looking for a recipe for chaga skin cream..and stumbled across this site,, would be most appreciative if you could share your recipe 🙂
Mine varies depending on clients’ needs — base recipe is originally from Margi Flint in her “Practicing Herbalist” text. 🙂
Hi’ Lisa, Thank you so much for the encouraging words on life , Simplicity IS just what we are looking for !. IN this hectic and unforgiving, selfishness we live in. giving to others is the way out, with that said. My computer is old & slow like me, It would not print the tickets for the September 15 foragers food swap, can we still come without tickets? I think that it is great, that the Father sent us to you in this special time of rejuvenation, Praise GOD, again, Thank You, so much, for doing all my footwork-and I can not wait to meet you, see you soon, GOD Bless. Shalom-means Peace it is one of GOD’s names! Shalom!
Yes, please join us for the swap – please remember to bring something to exchange that is well labeled to participate. The lecture will follow at 7pm!
