Anne is a highly sought after teacher, bringing alive sometimes complex concepts and explaining them with simplicity and humour. Her courses offer something for everyone, whether you are dipping in to a day course making herbal teas, or committing to an Ayurvedic apprenticeship over a number of years, each course is packed full of Anne’s unique blend of traditional Western medical herbalism and her expert Ayurvedic knowledge.
A skilled and tireless gardener, she has created the perfect living classroom here at Artemis House. Walking down through the spiral herb garden you pass through a gateway and into an area dedicated to learning. With a large log cabin, an outdoor classroom for fine weather days and even an open air kitchen for tea breaks – students have the opportunity to learn about the medicinal properties of herbs while surrounded by them. For day long courses, delicious vegetarian lunches are cooked on her AGA and either eaten at a communal table in her kitchen, or outside in the garden.
‘All forms of herbal medicine – whether they are Western or Eastern – are holistic, which simply means that we don’t treat symptoms: we treat people. Although Ayurveda may be an ancient system of healthcare, its principles are easily applicable to our hectic modern lives. I have seen this time and again in the patients I have successfully treated and I also hear it in feedback from my students. This is why I am so passionate about spreading Ayurvedic knowledge as far as I can – if we can learn to apply Ayurvedic principles to our busy lives, we have all the knowledge and tools we need to live sustainably and in harmony with both ourselves and the world around us.’
