THE CURSE OF THE CAPABLE WOMAN is an essential handbook for women who do too much. Women who want to stop the incessant plate-spinning and reclaim their wellbeing. Writer, broadcaster, and medical herbalist Pamela Spence takes the reader through her 5 ‘Nurtured by Nature’ stages so that they might detox their life, reclaim their health & vitality and reconnect with the rhythm of the natural world. 

It will show you how stress is affecting your body and how turning to nature is the simplest, easiest, most profound (even cheapest!) way to positively impact your health and the health of the planet.  By understanding the story your body is telling you, you can roll back those symptoms, restore your energy levels, and get on with living an effortlessly greener life. For good. 

In THE CURSE OF THE CAPABLE WOMAN, Spence has taken her extensive experience of 15 years of working in a clinic with women in their 40s and beyond and produced this Elemental Guide to slowing down and looking after ourselves by getting more in touch with the natural world around us. It’s about focusing on a better quality of life, feeling like ourselves again; getting our mojo back.  It’s an easy-to-follow roadmap to stop flogging yourself to the point of exhaustion and instead learn to live in tune with your body, rather than in constant combat with it.  As Katherine May’s Wintering looks at how we can heal ourselves in one season, Pamela provides the reader with a blueprint for the ebb and flow of the whole year. 

Pamela has run a successful clinical practice since 2006 from her home on Scotland's beautiful west coast after turning to herbal medicine to help her recover from burnout working in the film and television industry. She is now the global tea brand, Twinings, herbal expert and advises the company on their herbal blends internationally including the hugely popular Twinnngs Superblends range.
