"While reading Nature's Healing Force, I was taken back to my first experience of the power of nature, lying on my back at the age of 3 with my father, watching a dandelion seed head float effortlessly upward into the sky blue expanse, invoking awe and peace, as my infant mind struggled with the explanation of infinity. I have never forgotten my first nature lesson and many more have followed. Tracy has captured that awe and wonder in her exquisite and delightful book, sharing her journey with the consciousness and essence that nature can provide, once we open our hearts to it."
Dorene Peterson, Principle, Australian College of Herbal Studies
