Testimonials

Eileen

I absolutely love these courses and how they have healed me and guided me to a deeper understanding of myself and how I am surrounded by plants that can protect and impart their wisdom. Joy is incredibly knowledgable in this field and she uses her skills as a shamanic healer and plant medicine woman to disseminate this information with ease. I feel my eyes have been opened to a new way of being

Jane

I find Joy’s Plant Spirit teachings so fascinating, interesting and also educational.  I leave her workshops even more amazed to the benefits and wonders that herbs and plants possess, along with the different ways to use them. She also manages to incorporate laughter and warmth within the group.  I try never to miss one. Big thanks Joy ❤️🍀’

Lucy

Attending Joy Ellis's Plant Spirit Medicine  course was a transformative experience. I felt more grounded, more present, more aligned and deeply connected to nature. This workshop was a beautiful reminder of the power that plants have in our lives and how they can totally enrich our lives for the better and how to work in partnership with the plants in a respectful and sustainable way.  Highly recommend

Sophie

Attending Joy’s Plant Spirit Medicine workshop was truly special. From the moment I arrived I felt so welcomed and held in a sacred space. Connecting with the plants through shamanic techniques and ceremony was deeply moving and I experienced the guidance and wisdom of the plant spirits in a way I have never experienced before. So magical and transformative and I deepened my connection to a completely different level. I left feeling so in tune with nature and eager to learn more

Your Guide

Joy Ellis is an experienced Homeopath, Herbalist, Shamanic Practitioner, Medicine Woman and Priestess of the Plants, Mother and grandmother.

Over the last 30 years of exploring and deepening into many spiritual pathways, it is the weaving together of her passions of all that is sacred in plants and the healing medicine of the natural world that influences all that she does.

When she’s not working in her busy practice or running Plant Spirit Medicine workshops her other passions are Art and she loves to paint the plants and the plant spirits. Joy is nearly always accompanied by her little black dog Milly who loves to sit in sacred circles and especially loves the sound and vibration of the shamanic drum.
