Beverly McFarland: About Beverly

Beverly has been amusing the gods since 1940.
Her path of conscious living and spiritual growth
has led her through worldwide travels, yoga and
T'ai Chi Chih practices, two marriages and the
raising of a daughter and a son in the Sandia
Mountains outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Beverly earned her Clinical Herbalist certification
through both Michael Moore’s Southwest
School of Botanical Medicine in 1993 and
Dr. Tieraona Low Dog’s New Mexico Herb
Institute in 1994. But rather than practice in
a clinical setting, she found her greatest joy in
being with the medicinal plants themselves—
either in her own garden, or in your garden, or
in the greater garden of Nature. Her first classes
were herb walks sponsored by Wild Oats, the
natural food markets, in 1994.

Additionally, Beverly became an accredited
T’ai Chi Chih teacher in 1994 and has since
shared her wisdom and skills with Elderhostel,
elementary school students, church groups,
UNM Continuing Education, rehabilitation
facilities, spiritual retreat centers, senior
retirement residences, Rape Crisis—teaching an
average of four classes a week.

In 1990 during a period of intense transition,
Beverly created a necklace to symbolize her life
journey and make some sense of it. A few
years later this became her Life Journey
Necklace Workshop, taught through the UNM
Continuing Education and for small groups
locally as well as nationally.

Regardless of what she’s teaching or where,
she realizes the essence of it all is balance. We
are, each of us, an extraordinary and unique
combination of elements—physical, spiritual,
mental and emotional. Our uniqueness is our gift
to the world. We are better able to recognize
and appreciate this gift when we are in good
health and in balance.

Beverly is here to help you understand what you
need to stay healthy—and to support you in
applying this understanding.
