Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To find myself alone in far away places with no idea what to do!
ABOUT ME
This is so strange, I feel like I'm on a dating website...I guess I see myself as an enthusiastic and generous person who loves nothing more than meeting new people who share a good sense of humour. I'm fairly inquisitive, and would probably rather ask questions than answer them...Unless we were talking about music or movies...
The ocean and my cats are pretty important to me. I guess coffee and tea are as well.
PHILOSOPHY
Some of these prompts are a bit much... I don't know...Spelling is important.

I've completed an apprenticeship in Herbalism and am very passionate about holistic health practices and the use of herbs for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. I strongly believe in being accountable for your own emotional/physical health and well being...No doctor knows you better than yourself...It devastates me to witness our healthcare system's lack of focus on preventative care and continual disempowerment of the individual as their own best healer...I'm not disregarding our need for allopathic practitioners, but hoping the emphasis will one day shift to treating the cause and not the disease.
I also cut hair .
