Kate Gilday

KATE GILDAY has been a clinical herbalist, flower essence practitioner and creator, Ayurvedic lifestyle consultant and teacher for over 30 years. A creative medicine maker, Kate is the founder of Woodland Essence, a forest botanicals and flower essence company and workshop center. For many years, Kate was a member of Collaborative Healing, a group of local practitioners who address health care through a unique integrative network, educating the community and combining conventional medicine with expert complementary care. She is well loved for the clarity and clinical relevance gleaned from decades of experience in her teachings.

She has just stepped back from her practice to spend time with her grandchildren, and begin writing a book on the woodlands she loves so well.
