I love your books and love your spirit. I'm a Birthing From Within mentor and doula, and I had my son at The Farm in May 2008. Some of the herbal advice my midwives gave me was yours!

I have planted many of my own herbs in my garden and love every minute of it and I want to thank you for your course I had the opportunity of take. I love working with all the herbs thank you so much.

You look wise and powerful so must you be. It's great being an elder isn't it? Now my younger friends actually listen to me lol

I'm giddy after reading your bio. Printed the whole thing out (after digging out 20 sheets of paper from the recycling bin) and devoured it last night. Thank you for writing your story. It danced and sang to me as I read and is still sparking creative thoughts in my head. The part about the "ka" will be life changing for me. Realizing too that I am at home in nature, in my kitchen brewing remedies, that the universe named me Laurel for a reason.

Hi Susun.
I listened to your interview with Shannon Leonne in the Raw Mom's Summit and loved it.
I have started doing infusions, but can't remember how long they last in the fridge. Also a great tip to add the mint to the Oatstraw. Not sure if I could have sipped it otherwise. Thanks in advance for the help.

At some point in life it is important to thank those who have inspired us on our journey here. Your words of Herbal wisdom in your books have guided me through my life as Mother and Crone but as an ally to Earth One of my greatest accomplishment was taking a 3 acre clear cut in the foothills of the Sierras and replanting it. At the end of a 10 year labor of love exchange we established our roots. I read your books the whole time. Thanks for the wisdom......

I read your Wise Woman newsletters faithfully!
