Herbal or Verbal?

Arts EN ↓ 7 episodes

An introvert's book club led by a Therapist who has hand-blended the perfect tea to pair with each book (with extra for you to try!)As both a formally trained Tea Artist and Therapist, whenever I hear the phrase "I have tea for you!", I find the only appropriate response is "Herbal or Verbal?" Join me as we engage in one of my favorite therapeutic modalities: Bibliotherapy -- the reading of books to support and help heal the mental health challenges we face. Meanwhile, learn how to support your mind and body with an herbal tea that perfectly coordinates with our book of the month!
