Online Home Herbalist Apprentice

Learn Herbalism while developing custom-made remedies for your loved ones!

The Online Home Herbalist Apprentice program focuses on specific uses of herbs (materia medica) organized by body system, holistic physiology, contraindications, drug interactions, interview techniques, formulation, and more.  We dive deep into the interactions between body systems and how disparate symptoms can indicate deep-set imbalances.  Although classes are titled for a specific body system, each class discusses numerous systems as we see them cooperate in the body.  We weave in principles of holism, synergy, energetics and more. 

There are monthly readings and assignments to help you internalize and personalize your learning including assessment, formulation, energetics, food as medicine, and more.  Each student will end the program with a handmade herbal apothecary customized for their personal needs, and receive a certificate reflecting their hours of study.

“Words cannot even begin to express what taking your Home Herbalist Apprentice course over the past few months has meant to me. Being taught herbalism from someone so devoted to justice, inclusion, and healing has set a really amazing foundation for me and those I serve. I can't believe how much I've learned in such a short time, to the point of even being able to help the people around me find herbal allies for their needs. The assignments stretched me and ultimately deepened my understanding, and I learned so much from my inspiring classmates and their herbal explorations as well. This course has changed my life already. I'm truly grateful to you and Old Ways Herbal for this profound empowerment of learning the practice of herbalism, and for your efforts to make herbalism training accessible for BIPOC herbalists. Thank you so much for all you do!”

“Juliette's course was a perfect way to spend the winter. I love the holistic approach of combining physiology, energetics, scientific research, traditional knowledge, and social justice. There is so much to get out of this course. I went back and watched the recordings of the classes multiple times and took notes each time because there is so much insightful content. I also really appreciated the social impact part of the course and felt like Juliette created a safe space for the group to have difficult (but important) conversations. Her teaching comes from a place of authenticity and truly serves the greater good. Highly highly recommended!”
