Well, it has been awhile since I have written anything, but I have something to share! My school has closed! I am taking the news relatively well I think. I could be a total mess and declaring that I will drag them to court and demand my money back. Instead I am quite calm about the whole situation. I am appreciative of the time and work I have put in. I have learnt a lot and gained knowledge that has broadened my horizons. I am sadden to think that I must start all over again but this is an opportunity to reflect. I am also feeling a sense of relief. Life as a full time worker and the mother of two young children leaves little room for school. I now have the space to be a mother and focus on my family.
The last course I took was learning about medicinal plants. This struck a cord with me and touched me at my very core. Sure, I am interested in nutrition, but herbs and medicinal plants is where it is at! I loved every minute of this course. Instead of going back to school to study nutrition, what if I studied herbalism? Rosemary Gladstar, my personal hero, wrote one of the books that we studied and I want to be like her when I grow up. How do I get there though? My dream would be to grow lots of medicinal plants and know how to use all of them. I would teach others how to use them and help to heal others. I just need to figure out how to get there.
The other thing that keeps coming back into focus is my desire and pull towards yoga. I have been studying yoga since I was in college. It has always provided me a grounding space to think and let go. Now that I have some space and time I am liking the idea of taking classes again and seeing where it takes me.
Time will tell as to what direction my life will take. I can only be patient for the outcome. Plants will always be a source of interest for me and yoga will always be a calming release.

About Me
- Kate
- I love food!! I also value being healthy and well. After going through a rather debilitating period in my life I decided that I had to do something to get my life back. I went to see a naturopathic practitioner who helped me to take back my life as I once knew it to be. He inspired me so much that I decided that I wanted to help others live full, happy and healthy lives. I was a student at Clayton College of Natural Health until it closed. I was studying for my masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition. Now that the school has closed I am having to rethink my future. The one thing I do know is that I will continue to learn about nutrition and share the knowledge with those who wish to receive it.
