About
🌿 Hi!
My name is Kathleen and I live and work in the green north of Antwerpen, only 150 meters away from a very nice forested region.
Next to our home is my work studio Forest Roots where I run a Dreadlocks service Forest Roots Fairy Locks, a studio for handmade accessoiries Forest Roots Crafts and a herbalism atelier Botanical Alchemy.
Besides that I run a webshop In the woods with a focus on organic, eco conscious and fair traded items that support a reconnected natural lifestyle.
I also work on some very nice free spirit festivals around Europe.
I update about these markets on my socials: Instagram/Facebook

🌿 Previous
I was educated in Special youthcare and Orthopedagogy followed by a few aditional therapist trainings.
For about nine years I've worked as a counselor and social worker with people with all kinds of psychologic difficulties, from teaching to psychiatric care and everything in between. On the side I've worked as an independent photographer and I also did many years of artistic modelling. I've focused a while on mastering glass art and learning how to play violin. Both were no longer possible when I became a Mother.
I've run my own natural health shop with all organic food, health supplements and so on during eight years.
I've then transformed this into the webshop In the woods and about that time I've also started with my training for the Forest Roots Dreadlocks service. In my rare free time I try to follow different online trainings in Herbalism, Plant Dye and Magic.

🌿 Future
For now my personal focus is on learning about Permaculture gardening while step by step building a Food Forest at our home place called Project 9 . In september I'll start for three-year a professional study to become a licensed Herbalist so I can grow in preparing my own herbal medicinal tinctures and also plant dyes for the atelier.
Herbalism and Magic will be playing an increasingly important part of the future Forest Roots concept.
