Summary
Margi Flint is a practicing herbalist, registered herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild, and herbal mentor from Marblehead, Massachusetts. Margi's wisdom spans over 20 years of labor coaching certification, polarity therapy, and Reiki, alongside 40-plus years of clinical herbal practice. She teaches at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, British Columbia, and has lectured at numerous prestigious herb schools, including Tufts Medical and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, as well as Boston University.
She is also the author of one of my favorite and, in my opinion, one of the most useful herb books of all time, "The Practicing Herbalist: Meeting with Clients, Reading the Body," now in its fourth edition. She is most known for sharing the legacy of the late William LeSassier. The plants and her clients are her revered teachers.
Margi is one of the most inspirational herbalists I know today and a true master in holistic evaluation and client intakes. For this episode of the Plant Path, I had the opportunity to connect with her, learn more about her expertise, and hear what's in store for us in her new book honoring the late William LeSassier.
In today's episode, you'll learn:
-
How to get the information you need in a consult by asking the right questions and reading the body
-
Ways to help clients overcome their skepticism and get the most from their sessions
-
The best way to filter what's important in a consultation and follow-up sessions
-
What's really behind the wave of digestive issues and food allergies today
-
About Margi's upcoming project, and how you'll have the chance to learn from one of the most influential herbalists of our time in the first-ever book recording of his work

ABOUT THE PLANT PATH

The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve.
