Think Like an Herbalist book

My new book! Perfect for the homesteader, stay-at-home-mom, beginning Herbalist, and anyone else looking to take charge of their own health!


Forage and Heal: Discovering Plant Identification, Black Walnuts, and Nature’s Healing Power draws on over 18 years of hands-on experience in foraging, herbalism, and wild food preparation. Practicing herbalist Amelia South shares the secrets of commonly misidentified plants, the wonders of black walnuts, and the profound intelligence of nature. This guide offers readers not only plant identification tips, but also insights into the medicinal properties and culinary uses of wild foods—rooted in the author’s personal journey of healing and nourishment from the land. Full of QR codes to video lessons about the plants on my YouTube channel!

Ugly Farm book cover

Fun, engaging and full of photos of REAL weird vegetables, this children’s book will encourage young readers to pick their own vegetables and fruits and eat things that don’t look like the grocery store’s version of “normal.”

From Burnout to Burning Bright is a tender companion for those standing in that fire. R. Scott Holmes and twenty-four deeply intuitive, heart-centered experts (including me!) share their raw stories of collapse and renewal and the life-giving tools they used to find their way back.

Uncovering Amy is a raw, unflinching memoir about living with multiple personality disorder and the relentless fight to reclaim control of a fractured mind. Amelia South shares the graphic, chaotic reality of competing identities, self-destruction, and survival — along with the unconventional brain-training method she used to retrain her mind and restore internal order. More than a story of survival, this book reveals the exact mental framework that helped her heal her inner child (and all the others), offering readers insight into how the brain can be rewired from the inside out.

(Please note that Amelia was married twice previously, and there are publications and certifications with her old married names on them. However, “South” is Amelia’s maiden surname.)
