Your host for the Methow Valley Herbal Intensive is
Rosalee de la Forȇt.
Through her own journey from chronic disease Rosalee de la Forȇt was inspired to learn and share wisdom to address the root causes of health problems. Rosalee’s experience integrates thousands of hours of training in Structural Medicine with a passion for the healing powers of nutrient-dense foods and medicinal herbs.
As a graduate of the East West School of Herbology, Rosalee draws inspiration from Traditional Chinese Medicine and uses tongue and pulse diagnosis as well as patterns-assessment using TCM organ systems. She also has a strong base in western herbalism and uses mostly western herbs in her own practice, with a strong affinity for those found in the North Central Cascades. Rosalee has been privileged to be mentored by some of the best herbalists of our time such as Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa, Michael Tierra and Paul Bergner.
Rooted in the Methow Valley, Rosalee conducts herbalism trainings internationally and regionally, and is the author of dozens of articles and many ebooks on herbal healing.
She is Education Director for LearningHerbs.com and she frequently contributes multimedia herbal education such as videos and webinar presentations and moderates the forums at HerbMentor.com.
Rosalee is a practicing clinical herbalist and has a private herbal consultation practice and provides long-distance consultations for people who want to overcome chronic health problems naturally.
