Caroline is the Director of the Ingraham Academy of Zoopharmacognosy. For the last 25 years she has pioneered the self-medicative approach to animal health; allowing animals to express their innate ability to determine the medicinal plant secondary metabolites and minerals appropriate to their condition. This method has achieved great success for both physiological and behavioural problems. She has also made detailed observations of the distinct behavioural profiles that these animals exhibit when self-medicating.

Jane Wallwork-Gush
Jane studied anthropology in Oxford and was introduced to the food, medicines and rituals of other cultures and how they use plant medicine for health and healing. This built upon her early experiences with her Grandmother who introduced Jane to foraging for wild food.Jane also studied British herbal traditions and the healing power of native Celtic plants, which in turn led to the creation of her own range of skin care products using herbs, oils and floral waters.
Being qualified in Medicinal Herbs, Clinical Herbalism and Aromatherapy, Jane is constantly excited by the possibilities offered by plants, be it creating new blends or discovering ground-breaking formulae to treat old problems.
At present, Jane works mainly in the West Country for a successful Herb Company and oversees the production of herbal medicines and macerated oils. Making herbal preparations requires skill, knowledge and of course a little alchemy! Jane believes that our herbal traditions need to be passed down through the generations, and her workshops are designed to keep those practical skills alive.
