We begin this episode with the heartbreaking news that our beloved HerbMentor Radio co-host, John Gallagher, passed away in June. John was a visionary who dedicated his life to helping people connect with nature.
He believed in making herbal learning accessible, creative, and empowering—and he touched countless lives through his work. We will honor John and his life's work by keeping LearningHerbs and HerbMentor up and running. As we do, John's spirit and values will remain at the heart of LearningHerbs.
Prior to John's passing, we recorded this interview with Rebecca Fils-Aime. Rebecca pairs beautiful herbal stories with her background in public health to bring a holistic perspective to studying plants. We know John would have loved this interview, and we are honored to share this episode with you as we continue John's legacy of accessible herbal learning.
Rebecca is a community herbalist, socio-behavioral scientist, and a certified health and wellness coach. Her mission is to educate about plants that originate in or are commonly used across the African diaspora. She has a passion for using herbs in food as medicine, seasonal living, and accessible, bioregional herbalism.
In our conversation, Rebecca shares...
- How to practice bioregional herbalism
- How to work with hibiscus for skin care
- The gifts of lemongrass
- Herbs and rituals for summertime
- And so much more!
