John S.

Business Owner

John began studying herbalism in 1998. His studies have brought him to distant places such as Chiapas, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, and Thailand, but his focus now rests on the healing herbs of the Sonoran desert. John founded Desert Tortoise Botancials in 2005 in Tucson, AZ to bring the richness of the local healing plants to the people. He has strived to provide the utmost quality in education on herbalism and holistic healing to the community via classes, private consultations, apprenticeship programs, and trips abroad. John has practiced the healing arts of shiatsu and traditional thai massage since 2000, and craniosacral therapy since 2006. His private practice as an herbalist and bodyworker began in Tucson in 2005. His goal is to help inspire self-​healing and bring renewed vitality into your life.
