Marilyn Swallow

I am a Registered Aromatherapist / Essential Oil Therapist, a Certified Permaculture Designer and a Certified Permaculture Educator. I worked as an RMT for 31 years and though no longer a Registered Massage Therapist, I continue to carry the ethics, code of conduct, respect and care of a Medical Professional with me in all that I do. In June 2011, I received a diploma in Aromatherapy and was eager to set up a practice again, hence the blossoming of Wildflower with my good friend and Master Herbalist Gillian Leverkus. In 2013, I pursued an education in Fitness Knowledge. This has brought about my own increased fitness and an idea to expand my business to help others in this arena. My lifelong love for learning about growing and wildcrafting herbs and forest plants inevitably led me to medicine making. I now offer small batch local products for body & soul. After participating in front line ecoactivism with Extinction Rebellion, I became interested in the Regenerative Culture aspect of this global movement. In 2023, I began my education with the Permaculture Education Institute under Morag Gamble receiving my Permaculture Design and Permaculture Educator Certificates. Regenerative culture answers the questions: If we manage to stop business as usual, what is next? What is the world we want to see? How do we live in greater harmony with Earth? Personal practices in art, spirituality, self-help, shamanism, and yoga round out the skills I have developed and will be sharing in workshops and community projects.
