Dave Hawkins MH, CNC
Dave Hawkins is owner of Mother
Earth Foods and has been a practicing herbalist for over 30 years.
He has served as past president of the West Virginia Herb
Association and is a Certified Nutritional Consultant. In 2001, he
and his wife, Dr. Bonnie Buchman, a naturopath, opened Integrative
Holistic Health Services, a multi-faceted holistic health center.
In addition to his retail business
and consulting practice, Dave is also featured as a guest lecturer
and teacher throughout West Virginia and Ohio, having recently
taught courses at both West Virginia University's Integrative
Medicine Program and Marshall University. In September, 2003, David
granted an exclusive interview to Deborah Ray on her nationally
syndicated radio program, Here's To Your Health.
Dave began his studies into natural
healing in the early seventies. He was very curious about body
systems and how to prevent disease processes. Exploring the eastern
approach to wellness, he practiced yoga for many years. He became a
strict vegetarian and experimented with numerous diet plans
including fasting and macrobiotics. He investigated the energetics
of different foods based on traditional (Ayurveda, Chinese, Native
American Indian) systems from around the world.
Dave's most recent project is Cedar
Lane Herb Farm. A work-in-progress, the Farm will eventually be a
source of raw materials and production site for his line of
botanical extracts and formulas, marketed under the name
Earthworks, and will also serve as a teaching facility.
