A bit of history about Green Wisdom School of Natural & Botanical Medicine
Green Wisdom has been educating students in the natural and botanical medicine field for 37 years starting out as a Complementary Alternative Medicine clinic in Eau Claire (WI) an hour east of Minneapolis-St. Paul (MN, USA) after Stafne relocated from Boulder, Colorado. The school developed as a component of the Center for Healing Arts founded and operated by, Gigi Stafne MH, ND. The clinic offered a wide range of natural medicine services with a team of 12 diverse practitioners. From there it evolved through Stafne's dedication and commitment into the top-notch North American school that it is today. At the prompting of Lynda LaMole and Rosemary Gladstar, Gigi created the first United Plant Savers Botanical Sanctuary in Wisconsin and became deeply engaged with UpS for a number of years. Stafne, our school director and lead instructor, is a well respected member of the global Complementary Alternative Medicine community, dedicating her career to serving students, as well as local to global communities via Herbalists Without Borders International. Her background and core knowledge is rich with a history of coalition building and promoting wellness in a way that is sustainable, ecological, and returns the focus to a type of health care that is the true definition of holistic. All of these principles and values are transmitted through each of our school's programs. Gigi Stafne continues to teach and train locally and globally.
