Nutritionist - Medical herbalist - Fermentologist

I care deeply about our natural world, as well as having a keen interest in what good human health looks like. Working at the intersection of nutrition, herbs and microbes provides real traction with which to shift health outcomes at individual, familial, community and societal level. It also enables this to be done in a joyful and enlivening way, which means those shifts are sustainable long term.

Forager - Wild food educator - Biologist - Medical herbalist

Food is the place where human and ecosystem health intersect most powerfully. In a time of unprecedented change and crisis in local and global food systems, food continues to provide nourishment, joy, an expressive outlet and economic foundation to all people, everywhere. I help people build the skills to use wild foods to enhance health, pleasure and engagement with the natural world which resources each one of us.

Herbalist - Woodsman - Educator

We are all part of a multifaceted world in which everything is interconnected. Through studying, working and being with land, plants and people and through exploring these connections and relationships, I have developed a sense for how the health of the living networks of which we are a part is related to the health and wellbeing of us individually and vice versa. I am excited to explore these connections further with the other Peach members and to share what we learn on the way.

Herbalist - Storyteller - Song-sharer

I wholeheartedly believe that the quality of our relationships to ourselves, to each other and to nature is fundamental in health; personal health, societal health and planetary health. These relationships can be cared for and tended to in many ways. For me, the oral traditions of storytelling and group singing create a connection that is tangible and magical - helping us to remember something of our ancient humanness. Herbal medicine and food preparations also remind us of this. Humans have not existed without food or medicine - and social cohesion does not exist without connection. Creative, compassionate and honest communication for me are pathways to living a happier and more connected life.

Advanced nurse practitioner - Clinical leader - Health coach - Motivational interviewer

My experience within the NHS has shown me that genuine communication and collaboration is essential if we are to live in healthy, thriving communities. Developing these skills in all areas of interaction - with ourselves, with others and with our natural environment deserves our effort because it will lead to the building of strong, compassionate communities, able to live in respectful relationship with land and with the other species that land supports.

Gardener - Educator

I am interested in how nature can feed, heal, guide, and inspire us. I work closely with the natural world to develop places that bring people closer to the diversity, creativity and potential within nature, and that support them to develop the skills to work meaningfully with it.

Solicitor - Musician - Father

My support for The Peach comes from a belief that Society spends too much time focusing on the wrong things. We fail to care properly for the natural world around us and, in so doing, we miss out on so much of the benefit nature and the natural environment can bring each of us. The inspirational team at The Peach are seeking to reset that balance for the benefit of both humans and the natural world.
