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

Pam studied at the Tao Healing Arts Institute in New York

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.
