Rediscover the Quiet Power of Mother Nature
I began my formal training in herbal medicine in the USA in 1997. After qualifying and spending the following years as an educator, I founded Barefoot Herbs in 2001 to share that professional foundation with a community of students. While my journey later took me through the worlds of catering and entrepreneurship, I have always been called back to one path: the study and teaching of plant-based healing.
Today, I’ve returned to those roots to pass this ancestral knowledge to you through my online guides and courses. My mission is to help you peel back the layers of modern noise and return to the simple, effective healing that has lived in our gardens for generations—no matter where you call home.

Reclaiming the Wisdom of the Home
In a world dominated by synthetic 'quick fixes' and loud chemical noise, we have slowly drifted away from the simple, effective healing that lived in our grandmothers' gardens.
Modern life often leaves us feeling disconnected and dependent. But the legacy of plant-based care hasn't disappeared—it has simply been waiting for us to return to it.
I founded Barefoot Herbs to help you peel back those layers of modern noise and step back into your rightful role as the healer of your home
25 Years of Practice
I’ve spent the last 25 years in the garden and the kitchen, moving away from the 'quick fixes' of modern chemistry and back to what actually works.
This isn't just theory for me. It’s been my life’s work to identify, grow, and prepare the plants that keep a home healthy. I started Barefoot Herbs because I believe every mother should have the confidence to reach into her own pantry for a remedy, knowing exactly where it came from and exactly how it works."
I send out weekly 'Letters from the Garden' with seasonal observations, remedy recipes, and first access to our heritage seed swaps. If you’d like to begin your own collection of botanical wisdom, I’d love to have you join us
Testimonials
I did a herb course with Sharon a few years ago and still use what I learnt.
Sharon doesn’t teach, she imparts her knowledge in such a wonderfully practical way.
Gillian W.
Thank you so, so much. Gosh I really appreciate everything I learnt.
I am putting such a lot into practice and my family is so much healthier this year.
Stephanie G.
When I started this course, I was a bit dubious.
Six months in I threw out every chemical laden medicine in my home, and now only give my family the remedies I make
