Gudrun is a natural educator who brings joy whenever she shares her knowledge and experience about plants and their healing spirit. She is a frequent presenter at conferences in Canada and the US and has been a featured guest on numerous radio shows.
Gudrun was born and raised in Germany. Since her emigration to Canada in 1981, she has focused her professional education on complementary medicine. For over 30 years she has been running a successful practice in Grande Prairie, Alberta. She has helped thousands of people through her teachings and practice by using a holistic approach to wellness.
She enjoys the outdoors and being close to nature. Gudrun has explored many parts of Canada with her family while camping, canoeing and hiking in the wilderness. Her deep interest in learning about other cultures and their healing traditions led her to travel to many places across the globe, including India, where she was fortunate to spend some time with Mother Teresa. More recently, her travels have taken her to Central and South America, where she focused her attention on some of the traditional forms of healing.
