Gina Kearney Herbs & Owls

When we align our mind and body with our Spirit, we truly experience what it means to be healthy. Gina believes that Nature has given us all that we need, and that it is up to us to feed our bodies and cultivate practices that nurture and nourish us. Her journey has taken many twists and turns. Losing her Mother taught her that health is the most important thing in life, second only to Love. Her herbal teachers taught me to look to Nature for the answers. And her spiritual mentors taught her to connect with my inner guidance and wisdom to walk firmly on my path.
