My approach is broad, holistic and based in the ancient traditions of western herbalism. Together we will explore 12+ herbs, how to study herbs, herbal energetics and actions, sustainable practices for working with herbs, and the tools to develop your own connections and relationships with the plants you are drawn to.

Seeds of Herbalism Review
Cindy is a kind, humble and downright joyful human and wonderful teacher. She approaches her classes with solid structure and information, but leaves essential room for play and connection. I love that she encourages us to build the foundation of our own relationship with plants before working with them. She's a true devotee to Nature and makes it feel possible to deepen my own herbalism practice.

Who is the teacher?
Hi there, my name is Cindy Saylor. I am passionate about sharing my love of herbalism and nature connection with my students and clients. I believe herbs and plants provide a green path for everyone to explore. The plants provide instructions on how to best care for ourselves, each other, the creatures of the earth and the world we live in.
I am a practicing vitalist herbalist. My own life has been transformed by the practices I share. My clients and students have also found higher levels of vitality and health.
I offer personal consultations that feature natural solutions and herbs to change the trajectory of ones health. I am a community educator and teach classes around San Diego, including the World Beat Center, Wild Willow Farm, Libraries and more!
Green Blessings and I hope to meet you soon!
