For the past two years, he\u2019s been travelling back and forth to Switzerland, his home away from home, where he teaches his healing system at a school of herbal medicine and alchemy. He shares his knowledge of plants with a list of clients and teaches students how to utilize this revolutionary system of natural medicine.<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget about the violin. Like the plants it\u2019s made from, the violin also has a unique ability to heal. Jamie is preparing to do something that\u2019s never been done in the history of the stringed instrument. He\u2019s in the midst of creating a workshop to produce violins that are treated with specific plant extracts that can enhance the healing properties of their tone. It sounds complex, and it is.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-20346 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gallery-block'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"Jamie Golledge\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-20295\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-20295'>\n\t\t\t\tJamie is looking forward to the day when he is able to offer workshops and heal people with a custom-made, healing violin. \n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge5.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge5-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"Jamie Golledge\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-20298\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-20298'>\n\t\t\t\tJamie feels a sense of connectedness when he plays outdoors with his violin.

He\u2019s currently working on his first book which will highlight his findings from his discoveries that certain plants have the power to heal &#8211; anything as minor as a common cold to more serious ailments that modern medicine doesn\u2019t have answers to. He has a lot on the go but he doesn\u2019t seem to mind having a full plate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m simply following my passion &#8211; music and plants &#8211; and they always have been,\u201d says the 32-year-old, who spent some of his school years at Spruce Glen and Huntsville High School. Now, he resides in a farm house that is split with another family in Huntsville. \u201cWith my dad being an artist and my mom a homeopath and a fantasy writer, me becoming a healer seemed to come natural out of that environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Within mere moments of talking to Jamie you will immediately pick up on his intelligence. He\u2019s beyond his years; an old soul, if you will. He\u2019s got an eccentric vibe and there\u2019s an air of centredness to him. He admits it right off the bat: he thrives off being able to heal people. It gives him a sense of purpose and satisfaction. It\u2019s what he was meant to do.<\/p>\n<p>His interest in plants stems from his early years. He grew up on a large, organic farm near Windermere and recalls a childhood spent immersed in nature and music. He was playing the drums by the time he was five, the piano at seven, so it seemed a natural progression that he would go on to teach himself how to sing, play the guitar and the bass, and in the last four years he\u2019s developed an affinity for the violin. With a brain like a sponge and never one to shy away from learning something new, Jamie has always been the kind of guy who goes after what he wants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best part of being homeschooled was the ability to have everything at my fingerprints and go after what I was passionate about and, I guess, it continued on later in my life. It also gave more time to play music and be creative in general. Basically it allowed me to focus on all the stuff I liked the best, which shaped who I am and now I\u2019m able to incorporate all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the time he was 11, Jamie was taking correspondence college courses in herbal medicine. The only problem was that he needed to be 16 in order to graduate so he soaked up the knowledge, applied what he learned by concocting his own natural remedies and simply waited to obtain his diploma.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>Plants are incredibly powerful. I see plants as teachers that can pass their knowledge onto us. They\u2019re like elders really.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Throughout most of his 20s, Jamie \u201cdid the band thing\u201d and toured all across North America and Europe. By the time he was 27, he was ready and willing to take plant matters more seriously. He took it upon himself to get some intensive training under his belt and attended herbal medicine schools in Vancouver and California. He apprenticed with a lady by the name of Julia Graves, who authored a book on plant medicine that deals with plants having signs that indicate their healing properties. Jamie also followed a guy by the name of Matthew Wood all the way to Minnesota where he learned all about plants being energetic entities. And then things got really serious when he started studying medieval manuscripts.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-20346 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gallery-block'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge9.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge9-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"Jamie Golledge\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-20303\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-20303'>\n\t\t\t\tSome of Jamie&#8217;s &#8216;special things&#8217; he&#8217;s collected on his journey thus far.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge8.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/jamie_golledge8-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"Jamie Golledge\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-20302\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-20302'>\n\t\t\t\tDon&#8217;t underestimate the power of plants.

This was quickly replaced by things like arsenic and Mercury, the basis for modern pharmacology. I started going back into the medieval manuscripts and pulled out a great deal of this lost knowledge.

He brought all of the necessary documents with him, ready to share all that he had learned. Jamie simply took a chance \u2013 a leap of faith \u2013 and grabbed life by the horns. He had nothing to lose. See that\u2019s the thing about Jamie. He\u2019s not afraid to follow his dream. He tracked down the right people, pitched the theory of his healing system. And they loved it.

I love this little town. I always knew it would be the place I'd plant my roots. I need coffee, a bag of chips, bubble bath and foot rubs. My kids are my life. I believe in sleeping in on Sundays and that laughter is the best medicine. Writing has always been my thing and I have an interesting rock collection, too.
