About Robin
I'm Robin Lewis, an herbalist and counselor. I write books and journals, and I live and work in north Georgia.
How I got here
I spent decades trying to understand why I had no control over my life. Why things always seemed to go wrong, and patterns kept repeating themselves. I lived in an abusive relationship for decades denying that it was and feeling like I had no way out. When my nervous system started rebelling and my body started breaking down I realized that the life I was living was literally killing me and it was time to take control of my life. The journey from there took time and a lot of relearning, shifting mindsets, and researching a huge amount of rabbit holes through medical, psychological, scientific, and spiritual avenues. I left the relationship and I began to see healing as a completely holistic journey and how all of these seemingly unrelated fields of learning actually relate to each other and are part of a complete healing journey.
For years I saw my weight increasing and my health declining, and despite trying to eat healthier, I realized that I didn't actually know much about how my body worked or much about real nutrition. When I was diagnosed with fatty liver, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, I knew I had to start really understanding what was going on. I researched everything I could and made small changes along the way, small changes I could live with, one at a time.
Today my A1C is 5.6, my blood pressure averages 112/68, and I'm off all my medications with my doctors' approval. I'm much more of a proponent of making small, meaningful changes to our habits, because those are sustainable and do the most good over time.
The other half of the work
I've attended and become certified in a lot of herbal classes and am now a Clinical Herbalist. But the herbs were only part of it for me. A lot of what I teach now came from learning how stress and old patterns get held in the body, and from the intuitive side of things that so many of the people who find me have felt coming online without knowing what to do with it. A lot of you have told me about strange things you've experienced and never said out loud to anyone else. I love that you trust me with those, and I take them seriously.
I'm a big believer in looking at the science AND trusting how we feel. When the biology explains part of something, I'll tell you what it says, but I always leave room for the parts science hasn't caught up with yet.

Most of my teaching happens in my three Skool communities. Granny Wisdom, Hippie Vibes is the home base with a free tier, Herb Skool is for herbs and chronic health, and the Crystal Appreciation Society is for the rock lovers. The No More Bullshit Intensive meets inside Granny Wisdom.
