Welcome to Holistic Studio - an original online course and mentoring space run by myself - Elizabeth Greenwood. 

 

Holistic Studio supports natural health professionals and students with career choices and quality education on traditional approaches within Naturopathic medicine.

All educational courses and workshops are uniquely designed to provide traditional, energetic and grassroots practical information with modern scientific evidence to treat the individual. 

We are dedicated to strengthening the Natural Medicine profession as a whole, within the paradigm of modern healthcare. 

True holism resides in our ability to assess the constitution as well as the disease presentation. We also focus on our unique ability to extemporaneously dispense high quality medicines. (If you don't know what that means, you need to see me!)

Please enjoy browsing my website to understand more about what I can offer you. Everything here is original and independent work, separate from any professional affiliations such as associations, universities or companies. 

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Your enquiry is always welcome.

I began doing workshops and mentoring in 2016 by request from people who wished to learn more from me. Practitioners would often comment on my unique approach to herbal medicine and Naturopathic concepts, those of which are often not well explained or understood today.

As a result, they asked to embrace my enthusiasm and passion for traditional knowledge through education (Docere). I began hosting small group workshops on specific topics which grew to become the popular Holistic Studio endeavours that I offer today. 

Natural health is often referred to as the fastest growing profession (and industry!). As such, I believe I can help guide this natural momentum towards understanding and applying the true values of holism. In my mentoring, I help people to find their own unique place in this ever evolving field, where they can best apply their innate skills to thrive. I want you to feel inspired in your work, to help others, and make positive ripples of difference in the world.

Combining a light hearted yet frank approach, with a natural ability to think outside the box, I draw on 30 years of unique experiences and industry knowledge to support you in the best way I can.

The long version - my personal why


Flowers, herbs, scent and adventure have always been a huge part of my life. 
I grew up on the pirate cliffs of Southwest England and moved to the surfing beaches of Australia as a teenager. I have fond memories of helping my Grandma arrange flowers for the church and prepare fresh mint sauce from her garden. I would spend hours roaming the 16th Century vegetable and herb garden on the grounds where we lived. It was so large, I never made it all the way to the back. Perhaps I was side tracked by the foxgloves and poppies! I remember bathing in fields of daffodils, eating fresh raspberries and blackberries from the bramble hedges, using dock to get rid of nettle stings and tirelessly pressing flowers. My roots will always be in that countryside.

I chose Naturopathic study from a yearning to learn and grow. Immediately, I revered at how holistic therapies blended physical science with the mind, emotions and spirit. There was so much to discover here, and I’ve never looked back. 

My passion and motivation comes from an aspiration to see natural medicine take a strong independent position within everyday healthcare practice. We are in a unique time, a paradox perhaps, where we embrace the evolutionary excitement of new research, yet I often find these answers are embedded in the ancient knowledge and wisdom. The ability to walk in both the modern and traditional worlds is essential for a balanced understanding.

To create my work/life balance, I can be found dancing, playing music, wandering the countryside, making herbal concoctions, scouring old libraries, painting, taking photos, or researching ancient legends and stone circles. I practice astrology and tarot; and am known for my love of medicinal bathing and natural thermal mineral springs.
