Bianca Fortin (Bee) was raised in a health-conscious home where her interest in herbology began. She saw the garden as both a playground and a natural medicine cabinet—an idea that stayed with her through the years.

​   Bee has lived, worked, and studied in over 26 countries—from Hollywood film sets and yachting around Europe to volunteering on conservation ships and engaging in cultural studies in Central America. Along the way, she explored healing traditions and sustainable living practices from cultures around the world. She is the founder of Pura Vida Getaways wellness retreats in Costa Rica and part of the Herbasal and Sayanah Wellness Teams - dedicated to making natural health more accessible.

​   This e-book is a practical, witty and heartfelt reflection of Bee's journey adventures, and experiences—designed to help others grow, harvest, and use healing herbs in everyday life right out of their own homes and gardens.
