About Elementals Herbs - Pam Leahy

“Gardening is an active participation in the deepest mysteries
of the universe.” - Thomas Berry, Cultural Anthropologist

Pam Leahy, RH(AHG) HHC is an herbalist, environmental educator and gardener. She is trained in both Chinese and western herbology and certified in the Taoist Healing Arts. Pam is a professional member of the American Herbalist Guild and a board certified holistic health counselor. She has a private practice in Nutrition and Chinese Herbs with offices in Norwalk and Ridgefield, CT.

She is available as a speaker to hospitals, health associations, garden clubs, and other organizations interested in learning about the science and art of botanical medicine.

Pam studied at the Tao Healing Arts Institute in New York City and was supervised in clinical practice by Drew DiVittorio, Dipl. CH. She completed a western herbal apprenticeship with herbalist, Rosemary Gladstar at Sage Mountain in Vermont. Other renowned herbalists and nutritionists who have influenced her work in books, lectures and conversations include, Christopher Hobbs, Paul Pitchford, Tieronna LowDog, MD, David Winston, Jeffrey Bland Ph.D., Jeffrey Yuen, Donny Yance, and Larry Dossey, MD. Pam refers to herself as a “fusion” herbalist – one who incorporates the teachings of both eastern and western traditions for healing the body, mind and spirit.

 

“Putting my books aside, it is the time I spend

in the green world that has influenced me most

of all. The plants are my greatest teachers and

Nature is my primary classroom.” - Pam Leahy

Pam has been a teacher most of her life and enjoys helping others learn about the healing traditions of green medicine. She founded Elementals Herbs 15 years ago as a community resource for wellness programs, educational workshops and quality botanicals. Pam uses her experience as a manufacturer to source well researched quality products from other companies who preserve the natural complexity of whole plants with their full spectrum of plant constituents.

In the past 2 years my life has been blessed with the addition of 4 grandchildren.
