My name is Heather Niemi Savage. I am a collaborative pianist and composer of contemporary classical music. Like you, I have several rehearsals each week and also spend a great deal of time sitting at the piano or the computer. I am also regularly on the road, traveling to conferences and performances. I personally understand the demands the musician’s life puts on the body and mind! In addition to being a professional musician, I have also studied herbalism for ten years. These are ways herbs have helped me:
– I have not missed a rehearsal or performance due to illness since I began studying herbalism
– My fingertips used to crack and bleed all over the piano keys, but that doesn’t happen anymore
– I used herbs to successfully address my own hand injury and my guitarist-husband’s tendonitis
– I use herbs to help me stay focused and have plenty of energy for my myriad musical projects
