"One of the best gifts that I have given to myself is attending herbal classes at Ceratonia with Daisy. The time at Ceratonia with Daisy and in the gardens is nurturing and healing. From the deep wisdom Daisy imparts, I have been empowered to make changes that have benefited myself and my entire family. In addition to the knowledge gained, I feel restored, and being at Ceratonia with the incredible plants and trees, and in her presence, one is imbued with a feeling of deep peace."
