About Alison Ramsay-Smith
Alison Ramsay-Smith – Earth Medicine Guide
Alison Ramsay-Smith is a lifelong nature lover whose journey has woven together science, spirit, and the healing wisdom of the Earth. A former math and science teacher from Florida and a Texas new home consultant, Alison has always felt most at home in nature’s embrace.
After retiring with her husband Bill, she followed a trail of crystals and intuition to the heart of Arkansas—the Natural State—where rivers, mountains, and wild medicine grow abundantly. There, in a mountain cabin surrounded by healing plants, a visionary encounter with a wise elder spirit awakened her path as a medicine maker.
Alison now shares her knowledge of natural remedies through experiential teachings rooted in reverence, curiosity, and personal transformation. She believes that the Earth speaks to those who listen—and that in every weed, there is a whisper of healing magic.
