Meet Hiedi

Picture
Hiedi Handford

Hiedi Handford is a dedicated healer, educator, advocate, lobbyist, and founder of My Medicine Consulting. Hiedi got involved in the Cannabis industry in Montana in 2009 when she found herself a patient and she published a "first of it's kind" in the Nation magazine, Montana Connect - a Trade publication for the blossoming Cannabis Industry in Montana.

Hiedi has championed pediatric application since her first issue was published in 2010 and has been a tireless advocate for medical cannabis patients ever since. In addition to her extensive travels with Irvin Rosenfeld, the longest surviving Federal Marijuana Patient in the Nation, Hiedi spent extensive time in Colorado from 2010-2013 working with Industry leaders. In December of 2012 Hiedi and a team of advocates took on the Attorney General of Colorado in a one sided forum in Eagle Colorado and WON. Sweetleaf Pioneer Dispensary is alive and doing very well to this day due to the groups efforts against a one-sided forum with the cards stacked against them. In addition to the fight in Eagle, Hiedi rallied for patients and providers in Colorado who were under prosecution regarding cannabis. Both of those cases were successful resulting in Not Guilty verdicts in trial juries.

Hiedi has been a Patient Navigator since 2010 - guiding thousands of patients through the many varied medical marijuana programs across the Nation. With her Navigation Services patients have full counseling, and access to professionals to assist in their treatment options. Hiedi works to help educate their current family and physicians, as well as helping patients to understand the various methods of ingestion and dosing.

Hiedi has lobbied in front of numerous legislatures and city councils, county commissions, as well as educating the general public in a multitude of forums. Hiedi has helped to write legislation and also helped to craft and draft the petition for Sensible Florida (Regulate Florida) as a founding member of the drafting board.

Regulate Florida (Sensible Florida) is the first adult use petition to achieve Supreme Court review in Florida history. It was a fantastic achievement.

Hiedi lobbied for Cannabis reform 2 sessions in Montana, and Hiedi also lobbied in Michigan and put the brakes on Senator King wanting to remove glaucoma as a condition in 2012.

Hiedi also was a critical component in the beginning of CannaTrac, an extensive banking system for the cannabis industry. She maintains shares in the company to this day as it launches nationwide.

Hiedi also co-hosted and co-produced a 2 hour daily Cannabis News Show with Danna Goldhaber. All broadcasts are still available at BlogTalk Radio and can be found linked below. The show went on for 6 months, 5 days a week, 2 hours per day.

​Hiedi has multitudes of contacts from all walks of life from political, to medical, to legal, etc in many states. Hiedi also has 15 years state government experience, so she knows her way around a Capitol and governmental hurdles and challenges.

Currently - Hiedi is in high demand for her custom formulations. Hiedi has been working with Terpenes and terpene enhancements for over a decade now and is considered a leader in the industry when it comes to helping with difficult cases.

In addition to consulting and custom formulations on a personal level - white label bottling services are available - where Hiedi will formulate and fill your bottles so you can market your own brand.

July 2020 - Hiedi launched her own brand - Terpene Healer.

Montana Connect was the first and only Trade publication for the Medical Cannabis Industry in 2010. Hiedi published 3 issues before the laws in Montana were reversed horribly in 2011. They are featured below for your viewing pleasure. Please note - Hiedi Championed pediatric application of Cannabis in her very first issue.

Hiedi is one of the Founders of the Regulate Florida Campaign. In May of 2014 a small group of people wanted to see change for Florida in a BIG way. With Amendment 2 moving along the group was excited to see Medical Marijuana come to Florida - culminating in a record breaking 71.3% vote of support for Amendment 2 November 8 of 2016. 

There was a problem though - Amendment 2 did not allow for home grows and was limited with many restrictions allowed to be implemented by the legislative body.

That wasn't enough for this group, and Regulate Florida was born. The petition is hosted below.

​Hiedi continues to work with Regulate Florida at an Administrative level and will until completion of vote in 2020. #YesWeCANnabis #TogetherWeCan

2024 Update

Whew! It’s time to update folks with what’s been happening the past 4 years or so since COVID-19 changed so many of our lives.

So, let’s look back to review and update to today.

With the advent of COVID-19, I quit accepting any new clients for healing services completely. With so many unknowns about the virus, there was no way I could put myself or others at risk. I maintained the clients I had at the time, and transitioned into another chapter of helping.

Just prior to the COVID outbreak, I had incorporated driving for Uber into my daily regimen when I was out in the field. Prior to Uber, in between client appointments I would either be shopping, or eating, or doing something that cost money. It was not fiscally responsible.

I saw all the Uber tags around me and said, “Why not? I can take rides in between clients and work my way back home. I will have an opportunity to meet more people, and potential clients. Win/Win!” I signed up, rented a Kia Soul through the app for the first couple months to be sure I liked it, and the rest is history.

My Father always said “If you do what you love, you never work a day in your life!”

I love helping people
I love cars
I love driving

​All of these things dovetailed together beautifully. I am doing what I love, and getting paid to learn where I live. Every Uber trip is a new adventure somewhere in the city. I never go the same place the same way. I have been paid to explore Florida! I also meet more clients for my healing business.

​In November of 2022 I got involved with Jeevz, driving luxury cars for Florida elite. It has been so much fun and so exciting having the opportunity to drive so many different luxury vehicles. I’ve been a car nut all my life so I truly relish the experience.

I have provided concierge healing services since 2015, assisting hundreds of clients over the years and providing services specifically to one family for 8 years.

The greatest influence in my life was my Father. My Father was a single parent for all but the first six years of my life. My mother, tragically, took her life in 1972 due to unresolved mental health issues. The solution to depression in 1972 was a prescription for Valium. It was also a way to commit suicide very effectively, and a major reason why I do what I do today. To help those suffering find the best solution for their health issues and provide hope and healing. In 1972, my mother didn’t have those options.

I intend to change that for as many people as I can.

My Father was a very compassionate man, and very logical with his wisdom. Under his tutelage his three children thrived. Pop never remarried or even had a girlfriend. He was dedicated to his children and ensuring they had the best upbringing possible.

My Father taught me so many things over the years. His greatest gift was tenacity. Never give up!

He also taught me “A Jack/Jill of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one”

I took that compliment very seriously and over decades have broadened my knowledge base exponentially in many areas. It is due to this expanded knowledge that I do very well at not only interpreting health and wellness problems, but finding solutions and thinking outside the box. Tough cases are a great challenge for me and I thrive on finding solutions and teaching people how to care for themselves with my methods.

I attended college in the late 80’s and got my Psychology degree the summer of 1992 after I lost my third child to SIDS. That loss shaped much of my work today and brought great understanding and compassion for my clients who have sick children. I have specialized in pediatrics for over 14 years now.

Most people look at a psychology degree as a person conducting therapy. I have never had a desire to conduct therapy sessions, as I discovered in college I LOVE being in the lab. Studying the brain and receptor science is my passion. In 2009 I learned about the endocannabinoid system, and it has been my main focus for treatment ever since. The endocannabinoid system is amazing, and a true key to the best health and wellness an individual can achieve.

With my terpenes, I can direct my treatments along the endocannabinoid system directly to where they need to go to work.

​

​






I’ve been self employed in the wellness industry for over a decade. I have garnered a wealth of knowledge in that time. Knowledge that can benefit you. I have had my BA is psychology since 1992.

I’m also a helper, and helping people brings me great happiness.

Over the years I have adapted my services to meet people’s needs. A personal assistant “on demand” I would call it.

My hope is that people will find value in my services, knowledge, and passion for plant medicine.

I’m especially good at stopping nausea from chemo and radiation.

My hope is to bring Happiness to your life TODAY.

Hiedi provided the highest quality of plant based medication for my son, EJ, who was diagnosed with a grade II Astrocytoma in 2015.
I began my journey of exploring natural medicine shortly after this diagnosis. The struggle of finding clean, quality ingredients in South Florida at the time was extremely difficult.
Through the grace of God, Hiedi was placed in my life just when my son was in terrible danger. Hiedi was referred by the only CBD company I trusted at the time, Green Roads.
Hiedi was able to immediately recognize that the medicine I was using was toxic and she helped save my son's life.
Hiedi quickly became what seemed to be like an extended member of my family very quickly. As my son's condition progressed, she was able to adapt to the new obstacles and still find a way to make sure that EJ got his medicine.
Her warm approach to each and every one of her patients helps provide a sense of hope during what may be one of the most difficult times.
​There are no words that can truly describe the amount of gratitude my heart holds for her. My family and I will love you for long and forever💚 #teamEJ “
