Two-year Director - Robert McCandless RHT
Dr. John Christopher’s passion for helping people inspired my interest in herbal Medicine in 1975. His School of Natural Healing in Springville , Utah , gave me a Master Herbalist Certificate in 1991. In 1993 I started full-time work at Gaia Herbals in Vancouver. In 1998 I received a Clinical Herbal Therapist Certificate from Dominion Herbal College, Burnaby, BC . I began doing in-depth clinical herbal consultations in 1999.
My deepest learning has come from many years of listening to thousands of people tell me their health stories. Their efforts, wins, and sometimes amazing health improvements prove the age-old wisdom of natural healing. I feel blessed to be able to offer people safe, simple and cost-effective tools to heal themselves.
