Taj Scicluna
BHSc - Western Herbal Medicine
I do not offer services, I offer a lifestyle.
I do not work, I create.
I am not a regular Herbal Clinician, I am a Botanical Revolutionary.
To me, learning the way of the herbs is a particular language – it infuses the herbalist with a sense of botanical romance… it speaks softly through leaves, the stomata’s open themselves to breathe dew onto the landscape, onto your skin, where it evaporates and becomes clouds…
​
The lifestyle comes from a curiosity, and a paying attention...
It comes from a wandering, and a wonder... an awe... a gratitude and appreciation for the world that glitters green.
​
What I offer is Radical Botanical Education, and when you see me as a client my priority is to assist your education about your own health, giving you autonomy and trust in your body's own ability heal.

I consider endangered plant species and prescribe herbal medicines that are ethically sourced as much as possible
Ethical Practice
My aim as an artist and practitioner is to support clients to achieve the quality of life suited to their needs
Quality of Life
I tailor my sessions to listen carefully to your needs, and your bodies innate intelligence
Personal
I encourage creating and maintaining a relationship with the botanical world, rather than using it extractively
Prioritise Relationship
Your body already knows.
Your body, mind and soul are a story, and I would like to listen to the narrative.
Making Remedies isn't reserved for the 'professionals'.
Health autonomy begins with creating a relationship to the ecosystem which you are a part of.
Growing, foraging, wildcrafting and making your own personalised remedies is one of the most empowering and healing processes.
