"We need to rely on nature first."
In this soul-nourishing episode of The Honest Property Podcast, Becky and Ruth sit down with Maria Fernandez Garcia—herbalist, educator, and founder of Healing Weeds.
Together they explore how ancient healing practices can guide us in today’s fast-paced, disconnected world. Maria shares her journey into herbalism, what it means to truly heal from within, and why the answers we seek might be growing in the cracks of the pavement (literally).
Expect gentle wisdom, curious conversation, and a reminder that reconnecting with nature is not just a lifestyle—it's a radical act of self-care.
We cover:
The real difference between symptom relief and deep healing
Why foraging is more than just picking plants—it's a reconnection to self
How to bring natural, holistic rhythms back into your everyday life
If you’re craving more intention, balance, and nature in your business or personal life, this one’s for you.
Maria is a public educator and student herbalist, offering partnerships, private events and group walks to teach people about the wild food and medicine around us. Foraging walks are a great chance to learn what wild plants taste like and where they grow whilst foraging workshops allow more practical learning where we'll make something together, using wild plants as medicinal ingredients e.g. fire cider, immune syrups, cordials and infused oils.
