NATURE SEEKS BALANCE: QRA WITH COURTNEY COLL
"I needed something I loved doing to keep me going while living in a city"
RA: What propelled you into natural healing?
CC: Growing plants and seeing the medicinal properties each plant provides got me interested in creating medicine for healing. Once I started growing my own garden, I created a connection with each plant. You see how everything comes to life which is so important because it is full cycle. You can go to the store to buy vegetables and herbs but the connection you make while growing your own then eating it, is so powerful.

RA: How did you learn your craft? How did you perfect your craft? CC: While I was farming up in northern California, creating hydrosols, known as 'flower waters', was a hobby of mine. It was something fun to learn and see what herbs create different floral scents. I came back to Los Angeles for work and noticed I needed something I loved doing to keep me going while living in a city. I began creating more potions and perfecting a couple scents and hydrosols from what I am growing in my garden in the backyard |
