I wanted to learn how to properly dry my plants, and how to make the oils and creams. this class definitely delivered on that, everything was explained so that it was easy to follow. And some things got clarified for me, I was doing the drying stuff differently and it wasn't working very well for me. so this course helped lots.
​
There was also tons of helpful information on where to get the herbs and how to use them and for what. It was an amazing course and I cant wait for the next one!

This was a fun and encouraging course. It wasn't overwhelming and made me realize how easy it is to make my own teas, oils and salves from ingredients out of my own garden. The fact that i get life time access to the course information is such an added bonus!

FAQs
Q: I don't know much about plant medicine - can I still take this class?
A: Absolutely! This class is meant to be for beginners who may not have a lot of experience with herbs. If you haven't already, I will recommend that you watch my Everyday Plant Medicine webinar (included in the course) as I go over all the plants that we will talk about in the course.
​
Q: I can't grow/forage any herbs right now (ie: it's winter or that's just too much!). Will I still be able to participate in the workshops?
​
A: Yes. I have included plants that are super easy to purchase. They are widely available at health shops all over the world. I have included a pdf resources as a bonus that goes over where you can buy dried herbs (and other supplies)
​
Q: Do I need to purchase all 10 of the herbs for this class?
​
A: Nope. You can get away with as few as 3 different herbs to be able to complete all 3 workshops!
5 plants is probably ideal.
In the welcome pack you will get a list of the herbs that you could use for each project. Some of them overlap (ie: we can use Chamomile for both a tea and topically). Choose which plants you want to use ahead of time based on what is available to you, what you want to make, and your budget.
​
Q: How long are the classes? Are they live or recorded?
​
A: Each class is pre-recorded and the videos are under 15 minutes. The idea is that you create one project each week - so Week 1 you make your tea with me, Week 2 you make your oil, and Week 3 you make your ointment.
Week 1 is a bit longer as it also contains an intro video where we go over some of the basics such as where to source your plants from , and how to label them.
There is also a 1 hour webinar which I have recorded which you will have access to that goes over all the plants that we will discuss in this class. I recommend starting with that - especially if you are not super familiar with different medicinal plants.
​
There will also be one live Q&A/Troubleshooting session during the live course where you can ask me questions and I can help you with any hiccups you run into. This will also be recorded in case you can't make the live times.
​
Q: I want to do this class, but can't start for a couple weeks. Can I buy it now and go through it later?
​
A: For sure! Once you purchase the class you have access to it forever. When I run it live again you will be able to participate in that too.

Hey, I'm Emily!
And I'm stoked to get to teach you about plant medicine.
My goal with this course is to help you learn to confidently create your own beautiful herbal medicines that you can use with yourself and your family.
​
Because I too wanted to know what I could use if I was feeling stressed, or my guts were a bit wonky, or I started to come down with a cold.
​
I wanted to know what I could use on my kiddo's bum and on little cuts and scrapes that was going to be both safe and effective.
​
And I wanted to learn how to make these things myself because I knew that if people had been doing this since, like, forever, then I could probably do it too.
​
And the good new is - I can - and you can too.
It is simpler than you think, and more rewarding than you can imagine.
I can't wait to see you in the course :)
