SCHOOL OF NATURAL
MEDICINE MASTER HERBALIST DIPLOMA TRAINING
We offer creative study material courses combined with hands-on training
to prepare you to begin an herbal clinical practice, a growing,
wildcrafting or product herbal business, to work in or manage herbal
departments in health food stores or clinics, or to create an herbal
pharmacy/dispensary. You will also learn to care for family, friends
and pets as you learn to become independently healthy.
We teach a system of herbs and individual herbal
formulas together with herbal and naturopathic home
treatments, baths and nutrition. Our system has proven
positive results over 30 years. Our program provides
our students with a strong foundation that you may
complement with what you already know or wish to
practice and study in the future. We integrate herbal
studies with Naturopathy treatments and an Iridology
analysis of the inner ecology to create individual
herbal formulas.
Students complement study with attendance at
Summer School when the time is right. After completion
of the study course students receive a certificate.
The professional diploma is offered after completion
of the course, attendance at Summer School and Clinical
Training, and completion of the Self-Healing module.
Each student experiences the herbal formulas, nutritional
healing programs and home naturopathy treatments
during their mentored Self-Healing Module so that
they become a living example and guide for others.
Please refer to Summer School web
page for more information on classes in herb
identification, ordering, storing, harvesting,
