We speak to the wonderful Fay Johnstone, author of Plant Spirit Reiki, and an experienced shamanic practitioner who assists others to expand into the highest version of themselves.

Fay explains that walking the path of shamanism is like walking with ‘one foot in this world and one foot in another reality’. She tells us about her journey of working with plants, making potions, foraging, celebrating nature and the vital role plants play in our day to day health and wellbeing.

Her story is a fascinating one as she shares how it all started for her whilst working in Canada running a flower and herb farm. She now lives with her husband in Scotland where she runs retreats from her magical garden.

She shares how she realised she could ask nature for guidance and reminds us of the importance of asking for help from guides, plant spirits, fairy folk – we don’t have to do this alone! They are aligned with their unique essence, hence the more time we spend in nature, the more we are infused with this frequency. When it comes to plants we get a full sense of them through our senses because they are all around us. We also have their medicine – we must remember that we are part of nature not separate from it, therefore we know innately how to communicate with nature.

If you would like to work with Fay, you can find her on www.fayjohnstone.com where you can learn about her different offerings including her books, her Substack community and a chance to join Fay’s monthly online sacred circle space. She is also on Instagram as @plantsthatspeak, and on YouTube where she shares lots of helpful content about connecting with plant spirit healing.
