About Rebecca Culley Healy:
Rebecca began to delve into medicinal uses of plants in 2011, started studying naturopathy in 2012 and completed her studies in 2017. Hawthorn & Violet was started as a naturopathic consultation business in 2017, but it soon became clear we wanted to offer the best of products to our client’s right at their location. Thus the apothecary was born and our shop opened in 2019. Rebecca continues to offer naturopathic consultations to clients and teaches classes at the shop and as a guest speaker at other venues.
