Alyson created Green Heart Herbals through her connection to nature and her eagerness to bring natural plant medicine back into the hands of the people – where it belongs.

Having begun her career in Oncology and working in that sector for over 10 years, she saw many people reach for herbal medicines, yet were too afraid to talk to their Oncologist or Doctor about it, for fear of being ridiculed or told it doesn’t work. Alyson wanted to bridge this gap and support her patients on the journey of prevention rather than the reactive and often too late version of treatment that that sector held. So she studied Naturopathy and has not looked back for over 10 years.

With a strong focus on education, Alyson educates her patients on the pathways and systems in the body, how they communicate with each other, and how when one is strained or not working at its best, it can affect all other related systems. There is no such thing as an isolated health issue – every organ in your body talks with trillions of cells and messenger chemicals in your body, and this communication is necessary for optimal functioning of ALL systems within the body.

Barely a week goes by when one of Alyson’s patients doesn’t ask, “Why aren’t we taught this in this school?”

It is a good question that she will let you ponder.

Alyson believes that education is power, and when you are educated on the one thing that you carry around every second of your life (your body), then you are better placed to understand the signs, the signals, and the messengers your body is trying to communicate to you daily.

Once we understand the language of our body and the resources available to us to help maintain strong communication and health, then we are empowered to live our best and healthiest lives.

Natural Medicine has held humans for eons. It has actually outlived the human experience – animals have known it and practised it since time began, our ancestors learnt from the world around them, and this has been carried through generations to come to you in the form we practice it today.

For over a decade now in the natural health space, Alyson has woven her understanding of natural and unnatural medicines into the space of the current-day human experience and has helped many restore their health, and reclaim what was always theirs to own.

You are not just your body and biochemistry, and in working with Alyson, she will help you better understand the intricate nature between the lived experience, our environment, our biochemistry, and any resultant illness or wellness you may be experiencing. With her combined 20-plus years in the health space she will walk you through the multi-faceted aspects of your healthcare.

Alyson is a lifelong learner and a keeper of this Earth. She will continue to learn ways to educate others on how to live in balance and reciprocity with the Earth, each other, and all life on the Earth. Her Herbal Adventures Series of Books for Kids endeavors to introduce families to these concepts.

Alyson Handblends a range of herbal products, including Award-Winning Herbal Teas which can be found in her online shop and she is available for herb talks in school and events.
