Came to the Findhorn Foundation Community: September 1982

Areas of involvement with the Findhorn Foundation Community: Worked in the gardens and greenhouse

Experience in the community affected your work in the world: My first visit to Findhorn in 1979 was life-changing. Inspired by the experience, I moved to the west coast of California, where I began training in the holistic healing arts. In 1982, I returned to Findhorn for a deeper immersion, living at the Park and further integrating its principles into my life. That foundation shaped the direction of my life's work. Over the past four decades, I've served as a holistic practitioner, educator, and author. In 2005, I founded PurePlant Essentials, an online aromatherapy company dedicated to offering ethically sourced, therapeutic-quality essential oils and wellness products. I've also written more than 100 books on holistic healing, aromatherapy, essential oils, and spiritual wellness, all reflecting the values of conscious living, service, and connection with nature that were nurtured during my time at Findhorn.
