Ep 65 Innate Wisdom of the Healer ~ Alicia Melrose (Old Gold Season)
Today we are joined by a very special guest. Alicia Melrose is a Natural Health Consultant, Medical Herbalist, a truly wise woman and Indigo’s beloved mamma.
Alicia developed her enthusiasm for herbal medicine when she lived in Indonesia with a Sumatran Shaman. She went on to become a registered medical herbalist and has now been in practice for over 33 years and offers a multidisciplinary practice based on a holistic, supportive approach to health. Her goal is to enable a person to take a proactive and life changing approach towards health. Always in awe of the potential of herbal medicines, she has a passion for her work and a deepening understanding of the causes of disease processes.
Alicia believes that we all have an innate wisdom and healing capacity and that our personal challenges provide us with an opportunity to deepen our connection to the intangible.
