About Us
Our mission is to offer opportunities to balance health, well-being and
healing through ancient, conscious-raising, earth-friendly experiences
Our philosophy is one of mutual respect and honor for each individual’s needs and desires for her/his own healing. The desire to heal is deep within each of us. We offer a supportive environment for everyone to learn from that deep place, connecting us with our internal wisdom and ability to heal ourselves. Our farm practices are one with the earth. As we have a deep respect for all beings, so do we with Mother Earth. We grow organically and use green sources of energy whenever possible. All harvesting is done by hand, either in our organic garden or ethically wild-crafted from the forest. Each herbal product is created with genuine respect for the herbs and her medicinal properties as well as all who choose to use these medicinal formulas. Kindness, love and respect echoes from Whispers of Nature as we wish peace and harmony for all.
Susie and Nick Teague created the name “Whispers of Nature” in 1994, when they were visioning for the future. “Whispers of Nature” provides many layers when you think about the possibilities. “Whispers” are whatever you feel deeply within yourself that is healing (i.e. your children, pets, loved ones…your garden, climbing a mountain, walking on the beach, singing a song…). Welcome and enjoy “Whispers of Nature” for yourself, your loved ones and for many generations to come.
Whispers of Nature, LLC, was founded in 2006, by Susie and Nick Teague after moving to Lopez Island, WA. They chose to move away from mainland “America” and to change their lifestyle, creating a more simplistic way of living for themselves. Homesteading their small property and leasing a small portion of agriculture land to pursue their Whispers of Nature dream has been at the forefront of their most recent life experience.
Susie’s passion has always been to help others to heal. From the time she can remember, she has wanted to become a “doctor” which as a child was her way of understanding “healing”. She also remembers the deep connections she felt as a young child in her grandma’s backyard garden as she dug deep in the soil and connected with the earth, which sparked her interest in plants and herbs. Susie holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree in Therapeutic Recreation. She is also a Certified Modern Herbalist and Reiki Practitioner. Most of her adult experience has been to help others heal emotionally, socially, physically and mentally as she has worked in various capacities with children, youth, adults and elders.
Nick’s passion is for life itself! He demonstrates love and light in everything he chooses to endeavor. He shows a deep respect to all of humanity. Motivating others to achieve to their fullest potential is the force behind his light. Nick’s childhood memory of a park ranger in uniform deep in the forest talking with him and his family influenced him in pursuing his career. Nick holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Outdoor Recreation. He is a “Leave No Trace” Expert and a Reiki Practitioner. Most of his adult experience has been working in forests and wilderness, bringing children, youth, adults and elders opportunities for learning, experiencing, and working in nature.
