I am known as a down-to-earth Herbalist. I have been practicing for over thirty years and teaching for thirty three years.

I qualified with a Diploma from the Qld Institute of Natural Medicine in 1989 and then followed that with Diplomas in Reflexology, Iridology and Biochemistry.
I have taught students at TAFE, Outreach, WEA College and privately.

Now I only teach privately and travel widely to run my workshops. My workshops are practical and students learn how to make products for their own use.

I opened The Total Health and Education Centre in 1997 in Muswellbrook where I could run my consultations, make and sell my products along with supporting my classes. We also rent our rooms to other Practitioners.

I have also written a series of books I call "In Touch with the Earth" as well as my recent book written especially for identification "Wondrous World of Weeds".

I live at Martindale with my husband (both children are grown and live elsewhere) on a lovely property in a valley surrounded by Wollemi National Park.

Heidi Wedd has been walking the plant spirit path for 25 years. With herbalism, homeopathy and plant alchemy (spagyrics) as early companions, midwifery and shamanism came a little later.

Her current courses include the Flower Codes Shamanic Herbalism Training; Herbal Alchemy Spagyrics and sporadic herbal or wellspring immersions.

Acclaimed author of "Wild Flower Walker” and now the first in a series: "The Flower Codes: Plant Spirit Teachings for your Soul to Blossom”, she continues to write regularly on substack, and be on an ever-evolving journey guided by plants!

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been a way of life for me for 25 years. It guides my internal and external expression. As a devoted practitioner, I take deep joy in successful practice, particularly with clients who have struggled to find lasting relief from other treatments.

My focus is on holding space for my clients as they comprehend the underlying causes of their health issues and navigate the nature of their conditions for an authentic and enduring healing experience. Born under the Dark Moon, I am comfortable in those dark, complex places.

Being passionate about empowering women and girls to harness their cyclical nature and (re)member their amazing selves, I run Women’s Health Education workshops to help shift the paradigm.

As a registered practitioner in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine with AHPRA and the Chinese Medicine Board, I originally completed the Oriental Health Sciences program in Barefoot Acupuncture, apprenticing under a traditional Master who prioritised readiness over just academic achievements. My Four Seasons Journey with the School of Shamanic Womancraft in 2016-2017 has profoundly influenced my practice. With 25 years of continuous education in Chinese Medicine and Holistic Health, ongoing learning is essential for effective outcomes in both clinic and life.

When I'm not in my studio creating ceramics, I'm a Peristeam Facilitator, Transpersonal Art Therapist, artist and teacher. My passion is empowering women and people to help themselves. I do this mostly through sharing what has worked for me as I continue to learn and grow in this amazing earthly realm!

I experienced 20 years of period pains which weirdly enough, I'm grateful for. Through exploring how to heal them, I learnt so much about different therapies and techniques as well as deep diving into my own psyche and that of the experience of being a woman. Eventually I found art making, art therapy and pelvic steaming. These three areas are my purpose for now!

At the moment, I practice Art Therapy as well as share with women and people how to Vaginal Steam in a safe and effective way, all in the privacy of their homes. People who have benefitted from steaming are those who experience long term period pain or other menstrual cycle and reproductive area imbalances (e.g. BV, pelvic pain, vaginal dryness, haemorrhoids etc.). I also create personalised steam plans and make organic herbal blends and pelvic saunas for v-steaming.
