Teresa Boardwine, RH (AHG)

Teresa is a dynamic teacher on health and wellness. Her approach is professional, warm and down to earth. She has been teaching how to use plants as medicine for over 30 years and graduated hundreds of herbal students into the field of community herbalism.

Holding classes in the Green Comfort yurt, in Rappahannock County, Virginia, is her love and joy. A Blue Ridge native, she found home here, between towns of Sperryville and “little” Washington. Her teachings are based in Western Herbalism with years of Herbal Energetics, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) woven into her modality.

It is in connecting people to plants where she sees the lightbulb go off. This is human’s first medicine and our bodies understand the phytochemicals and nutrients they provide to help establish health, support organ systems, increase resistance to stress and fortify the immune system. Plant medicine can balance, tone, nourish and support the whole person. Teresa integrates a wide variety of resources and research into her teaching and clinical appointments.

• Green Comfort School of Herbal Medicine offers several programs:
• Herb Camp summer outdoor education for plant ID
• Foundations of Medicinal Herbalism for the aspiring herbalist and homesteader
• Herbal Apothecary classes to learn medicine making techniques
• Herb Clinic Practicum for advanced student clinical hours, protocol writing and “free clinic” appointments for the community.

Our goal is to empower people to take care of themselves holistically utilizing food as medicine and herbal remedies to foster optimal health and wellbeing.
