Hi, Nice to Meet You!
I’m Shanon and I believe in the power of plants, ancestral wisdom, and the human body’s ability to heal when given the right support.
For the past 20 years, I’ve been studying natural remedies, working with clients, growing my own herbs, and sharing what I’ve learned through books, custom formulas, and one-on-one guidance.
But my journey didn’t start in a classroom or a lab. It started with the land I grew up on… and a health scare that changed everything.
Early Years: A Life Rooted in Nature
I grew up in South Africa, where the wild beauty of the land shaped my love for the natural world. My family encouraged me to explore. Whether it was foraging plants, studying sea life, or simply learning how nature heals itself.
Over time, I found myself leading foraging walks, teaching others about wild plants, and diving deep (literally!) into marine ecology. But just as I was stepping into that path… life stopped me in my tracks.
The Turning Point: A Diagnosis That Changed Everything
While pregnant with my first son, a dark mark appeared under my fingernail. By my second pregnancy, it had spread and two surgeons told me I had melanoma. And that I may only have a few months left.
I went through multiple surgeries, including one that removed tissue down to the bone. But in the end, the diagnosis was wrong. Twice.
Those years were painful, terrifying, and uncertain but they also lit a fire in me. I realized that I had a choice: to live in fear… or to take my healing into my own hands.
Finding My Way Back to Wellness Naturally
I started learning everything I could about herbal medicine, natural healing, and root-cause wellness. I began experimenting with homemade remedies using plants I grew, foraged, or sourced myself. I explored the connection between gut health, stress, immunity, and the environment.
A New Path Forward: Helping Others Heal
Over the years, I’ve supported thousands of people around the world in exploring natural ways to feel better using herbs, food-based remedies, and traditional healing methods. I’ve studied with herbalists across cultures, worked with the South African Air Force, and now consult for those navigating chronic conditions, medication side effects, or simply looking for gentle, holistic alternatives.
I believe the human body is wise. And when supported by the right herbs, foods, and habits, it knows how to restore balance.
Today, I’m Still Learning and Still Sharing
Today I write books, create herbal products, and share recipes inspired by my journey. I make my own natural soaps, herbal oils, and remedies and I teach others how to do the same.
Whether you’re brand new to natural healing or already growing your own herbs, I’m here to help.
