About ecoHaven
In 1986 Erin Collins and Michael Thomsen graduated in Sydney from as Medical Herbalists and Naturopaths. Since that time their combined enthusiasm for herbal medicine has kept them extraordinarily busy in their field.
In addition to private practice, both Erin and Michael have published books and articles on herbal therapeutics, lectured and tutored students and the public and Michael has also worked in the industry developing herbal formulations. Michael has also travelled to developing countries, most recently for the United Nations in Bangladesh to encourage local communities to re-establish herb growing for local use and ultimately, for export. Since achieving his masters degree in clinical herbal medicine trials, Michael has focussed his clinical work on to cancer support, while Erin continues to work with “whoever walks in the door”
In 2007 Erin established ecoHaven, a small shop working with fair-trade and environmentally friendly produce
In April 2008 ecoHaven moved into much larger premise in Murray St which includes a Natural Health clinic with eight other complementary health practitioners. We also now welcome Kirstan Long and Joss Fenton who bring new skills into the business and ecoHaven continues to find new ways of filling the niche for sustainable practices and produce.
We are also thrilled that Sustainable Living Tasmania continue to be our upstairs neighbour!
The centre is unique to Hobart, offering clinical excellence alongside good environmental choices and information.
All this from a passion for those plants which some of our clever forebears recognised for their benefit to human health….herbs
