Course Outline

  • Get to know Daisy, Ceratonia Gardens, and the foundations of her therapeutic approach: understanding ourselves and the plant world through the elements and the senses. She shares the three simple keys she's found essential, after years in clinic, for regulating the nervous system: mindful breathing, movement, and nutrient-dense food.

    You'll also discover what sovereignty really means: the confidence and trust that you can care for your own health, and the wisdom to know when to reach for more support. Three gentle exercises follow, including the Green Breath, a heart-opening practice for connecting to yourself and the nature around you.

  • This module teaches you something you'll carry far beyond this course: how to tune in to and meet any plant. Through guided exercises, you will start noticing the plant allies already growing where you live, you'll learn to slow down, create space, and arrive ready to receive insight and connection; exactly the skills you'll use to meet the 5 herbs explored ahead, and any plant you cross paths with after.
