Hi Susun
Thank you for your words. I read you whenever I feel deflated and uninspired as a wise woman.
…
Sincerely
Jen and Bella

Thanks so much for your help - you and Susun are amazing. I have ordered her other books and I am seriously considering taking the ABCs of herbalism. I have been really interested in alternative healing for many years, but Susun's book really changed my thinking!!
Thanks again,
Lindsay

I have received a very high recommend from a wild
edible specialist in northwestern MA for Susun's courses. I am interested,
and they are very reasonably priced (including the conference with her), so
now I have to choose between the wild edible side of the coin (food rather
than medicine, although I think the two sometimes are the same!), and these
wonderful herbal preparations that look very worthwhile to learn about
through Susun….
Thanks again,
Cindy

Ever since I turned 49 I have begun to feel empty and feeling as if
there's nothing left for me. I have two beautiful daughters and have been in
a relationship for almost 9 nine years, with a man 12 years younger than
myself.
I'm told that I look like I'm in my 30's...but I feel terribly
lonely and because I no longer have my periods...feel like I'm not a
complete woman anymore and have lost all my desires for sex. I desperately
wanted more children..my grandmother had 14 and the last one at 48...my
mother also had children well into her forties..I thought I would
too...after attempting infertility treatment...I just gave up. I see a
therapist..but still...I feel as if I've lost everything. My boyfriend says
that I'm beautiful and is forever reasurring me of his love..but still I
can't help feeling so sad..especially when I go out and see all the youthful
women around me.
One night I couldn't sleep and decided to research..and I
came across this page..I read the article about the Menopausal Years...and I
started to smile...it made me feel so much better..so I wanted to thank you
for the article..and I have added this page as one of my favorites.
Thank you...with much respect..Minerva

Dear Susun,
Thank you for your work. I discovered your books a decade ago, and the
memory of your wisdom inspired me to do an internet search, and I discovered
your website. I can't say how much this means to me.
...
Blessings & love,
Carol

Hi Susun,
The feel of winter has set in, and, like the plants I am drawing down and inward and seeking to listen well to the pulses within. I feel my cervix and the changes that were happening there, and scaring me, transforming, healing. I am not feeling worried anymore about it. I have increased my use of Red clover infusion, Oak bark sitz, yarrow tincture (oh, I do love the yarrow tincture!) astragalus and burdock tinctures....No more bladder infections or bacterial gnarliness. Yeah! Thank you for your help. You have helped in so many ways. You are a wonderful teacher and example. I am grateful for your being.
…
I hope the dreamy, coziness of the season finds you feeling well.
Love,
Stella

Hello Susun.
Thank you for your wonderful resources, years of knowledge, and relationship with herbs. …
Furthermore, I'd like to thank you for bringing me into confidence about using comfrey internally. Even today - at work in my local health food store - if a person were to ask me how to use comfrey internally, I would have suggested it for topical use only unless they had personal experience in the past with its success. …
Take care and enjoy yourSELF,
Stephanie

I wanted to write you an email and let you know it was a gift to be with you this weekend. Exactly what I needed to reconnect with myself, the rocks, the plants, and women of like mind. So, thank you, and I will keep in touch. Have a beautiful, warm, winter. :)
Love and Peace,
Carolyn

Hello,
First I wanted to say.. thank you for having a place where women can come and get in touch with a side of ourselves that has been hidden/forgotten over many years due to this day and age, among many other things...
Blessed Be
Nicole

I'm very pleased to know you and by reading your excellent articles …
I'm a Belgian independent midwife (and herbalist) for more than 22 years and I like the traditional way of working with women at birth which is not appreciated by the 'medicine world'. We are still the 'witches', you know!
…
Sincerely,
Kitty

Hello ~
I have no idea if you will personally read this e-mail, but I hope that at least someone will convey my deepest thanks to you. I have been struggling with depression, anemia and low energy for years. I don't know how I happened upon your site and your WEALTH of information, but thank God I did. I have barely scratched the surface and already have more hope than I have had in a long time. Even my sister is benefiting since she is pre-menopausal and struggling with her own issues. We have ordered your books and have already started making infusions and vinegars and it is my goal to learn as much as I can. I hope to one day meet you in person and attend some workshops or other trainings.
For now, I just want to thank you for the simplicity of your approach to healing, which is absolutely what I have needed. I will send everyone I know to your site!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my best wishes and blessings to you...
With love and gratitude,
~ Cindi
