Bryan Shillington completed his first course in herbology at age eleven. He has lived in the high deserts and learned the indigenous herbs, lived in the flat lands where he learned about tropical medicinals, and lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains where he studied the plants of the Native Americans. He has worked as a gardener, a wood carver, a blacksmith, a sailor, a stucco man, a roofer, and as a fourth generation natural healer. He now teaches at the Academy of Natural Healing and takes students on herb identifying expeditions into the forest to find the medicine of our ancestors.
