Becoming a Clinical Herbalist

How does an herbalist take all the information gathered from one’s own experience + readings, classes, workshops, conferences, round tables, webinars and blogs and actually apply it to a real life situation with a client who comes asking for help?

This stage of herbal learning and doing is Clinical Herbalism.
It is working 1:1 with a person, first gathering information, then devoting thoughtful time to assessing what is happening for the person and finally, sharing a plan that is used to help bring the person back to a healthier, more balanced state.
Being a clinical herbalist draws upon every experience and bit of information the herbalist has gained over the years.
Details of this course are available here.

Family Herbalist Program
The Family Herbalist is meant for people who want to get clear and accurate information on the foundation aspects of using herbs to promote health on a personal and family basis.
These people may be totally new to herbal medicine or they have taken the occasional workshop, read some blogs and use various herbal products from the local health food store.
They are ready for the next step.

Details on the Family Herbalist Program are here.

An extra bonus are plant walks offered to introduce students to the regional healing flora.
These are not a formal part of the program and no fee is charged for these outings.
