TEACHER BIO:
Katie Wolk grew up in Toronto, escaping to the forests and ravines whenever she could. Her first introduction to plants was at a nature-based day camp when she was eleven years old, where she learned about the plants horsetail, pineapple weed and purple loosestrife – she was hooked! After graduating university she began her formal herbal medicine training at the Living Earth School in 2008 and became a Registered Herbalist with the Ontario Herbalists
Association in 2019. During that time she also became a Registered Massage Therapist. The two professions allow her to provide both stress and pain relief from the inside and out.
