Oceana was drawn into the world of natural healing by the loving re-discovery of foraging medicines from the earth - the plants, herbs & fungi that grow in abundance all around - and with encouragement from loved ones that acknowledged this deep connection with the natural world.

During her years of study, Oceana worked at the nationally-recognised apothecary Neal’s Yard Remedies in Bristol. This elevated her professional experience and complimented with additional training in aromatherapy and herbal medicine.

Oceana endorses a mindset of reciprocity and has experience in herbal medicine charity work and volunteering on organic farms.

Oceana is also a keen fungi fanatic and has undertaken her own deep dives in growing, foraging & making products with these deeply medicinal and ancient allies. In 2023 Oceana attended the UK’s 7th Medicinal Mushroom Conference, led by world-leading experts in the field of all things mycelial.

Whilst setting up her online practice, Oceana embarked on a 12 month journey to Latin America to learn more about natural medicines, indigenous culture and offer her time and services to communities and schools.

Blown away by the cultural richness and ecological abundance of those lands and the incredible wisdom and connection its people have, her work has been deeply shaped and inspired to integrate all the medicine that was received and share this with others.
