My name is Rachel, and I’m from Southwest Missouri. I had the pleasure of meeting Doc Jones at the Ozarks Homesteading Expo last weekend in Marshfield. I had taken his training course through the School of Traditional Skills, but after the Expo I decided I was ready to invest and take these more in-depth courses too. I am a wife and stay-at-home mom to two kiddos (my son is 4 and my daughter just turned 2). We have lived a natural lifestyle for many years now, but things became more complex when my daughter started having multiple medical issues when she was a few months old (unfortunately, they’re still ongoing). My goal is to learn how to care for my family well using herbs, and possibly even figure out ways to support my daughter and have her able to safely wean off pharmaceuticals. I’m very excited to work through these courses!
