Karine Gordineer, founder of Green Girl Herbs & Healing grew up close to nature spending long hours climbing trees, wandering in the woods, gardening, and learning of the wild plants. As she grew into adulthood, Karine spent days and weeks hiking and backpacking throughout the Catskills and local Hudson Valley trails as her passion for the Earth and healing plants flourished. During that time, her natural connection with the healing energy of the Earth deepened and she knew this healing energy was accessible to everyone if they would but slow down and learn to be with it. As she saw the devastation being wrought upon the Earth and people living on the planet, she longed for a way to share her vision and love of the Earth and inspire others to reconnect, heal themselves, and protect the planet in the process. In 1998, it was out of this passion Green Girl Herbs & Healing was born, an idea and a dream to help people heal and find balance through right relationship with the Earth and by utilizing natural healing methods. It is also a prayer that as we heal, so will the Earth heal.
Green Girl Herbs & Healing has built its foundations on doing everything as sustainable as possible and on rediscovering the sacred bond we all share with this beautiful, blue & green planet we call home. It is through helping people to learn about the sacred medicine plants growing all around them, the profound peace and healing to be found in nature, herbs, and energy healing, that Green Girl seeks to inspire others to connect with the environment and begin or deepen their own relationship with Mother Earth and connect with their inner Spirit.
