Rupert, Slavic Stories for the Winter Solstice 2020
"I joined your storytelling last night. I would like to say a heartfelt thank you. Your final story in particular, infused into my bones like osmosis. It had been a dark, dank day and this story brought the light back. I am a farmer and baker myself and I woke early today to bake with the resonance of that story willing me on, the knowledge that trust in goodness, beauty, innocence is alone enough. I hope I wove that spirit into my bread. I write as the bread awaits the wood fired oven."
Agnes Becker, Celestial Stories for 'We are Stardust', 2023
"Nana's storytelling never fails to enchant. We enjoyed an afternoon of celestial folklore tales from Bulgaria that left us seeing the world as a rich, alive and mysterious place where snakes, the sun, rocks and rivers are alive. Nana then led us through a post-storytelling reflection that gave us a deeper sense of connection to each other and the earth. It was a magical afternoon - thank you Nana."
Chloe, Seaside Story Walk, 2019
"It was magical! The sea and the land and the stories became one"
Nadia & Tim, Story Walk 2021
"The story walk was a magical experience. Nana's storytelling and readings of poems take you to other worlds while at the same time open up your eyes to the world around you, to nature and your connection with it. We thoroughly loved it."
Cristina, Forest Story Saunter 2021
"Nana led the walk with such care, warmth and generosity that there was instantly a sense of unification and togetherness in the group. As we meandered through the autumnal forest, we heard magical stories, beautifully told, and we took in the wonder around us - enjoying spotting the forest's many delights.
I felt the calmest and most present I have felt in a very long time. I think frequently of the morning we shared - and can't wait to go on another walk with Nana soon. Her story walk was a tonic, a healing elixir of words and nature. A truly magical experience"
Anon, Story Apothecary Podcast Listener
"I cannot recommend The Story Apothecary enough.
This storytelling is the best medicine I’ve found so far whilst showing up each day in my mum's journey to death. Better than therapy. It’s such an intense time, and these stories take me elsewhere for a bit and soothe my soul."
Olivia, Creative Storytelling Walk 2020
"Loved the morning out on the South Downs, on the walk led by Nana, combining professionalism and warmth. The highlight for me was the stories that she told - so well chosen and beautifully told, she held us in her spell as she told them and the stories continued to resonate long after. I highly recommend the walk as a unique experience, combining walking, storytelling and space for your own creative writing. And the rain didn't dampen our spirits, it just added to the special atmosphere."
Sarah, Story Walk 2020
" Thank you Nana for a wonderful walk, such inspiring scenery, magical storytelling a precious moment of serenity in a world of current 'madness' "
