BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Mustard Seed Herbary is owned and managed by Ellen Griswold, a certified herbalist and Natural Health Professional. She learned early in life how important good eating habits and nutritional supplements are to supporting good health, and as a child was interested in keeping well. When a family member became seriously ill, the search for alternative healing methods was intensified. Because of the excellent results received from appropriate, quality supplements, it became important to share the knowledge acquired in order to help others help themselves to better health.

Ellen completed her training with Nutritional Resources as a Certified Natural Health Professional (CNHP) in 1999 and has attended numerous seminars and conferences across the nation to further her knowledge. She has studied iridology under Dr. Bernard Jensen and Dr. Ellen Tart, and is currently completing a Natural Health Consultant certification. Ellen also teaches classes at the Mustard Seed Herbary and in the community on a variety of health-related topics. “I’ve taken lots of classes and workshops on natural health, but really, the best teacher is using the products and therapies personally – plus learning from the experiences of those we help in our business.” says owner, Ellen Griswold. “We learn so much from our clients, especially when we work with them individually through health consultations.”

Ellen also works closely with other aspiring entrepreneurs in getting their own business or retail/online store started. “The natural health business is a great business to have, as so many people are beginning to see the benefits of herbs and other natural therapies. It’s hard work, but very rewarding to help others be successful,” she says.

Staff members of the Mustard Seed Herbary are also herb specialists and actively participate in community events and educational classes.
