Learn Herbal Medicine One on One
You are required to be present for the whole day for each session. (10-2) Each session will be scheduled at mine and your convenience and will be here at the shop in Meredith, or at my land in Belmont. All topics listed will not necessarily be covered each day. I will require homework during the time we are not together. This mentorship will require you to do some research on your own to be discussed with me during our next time together. There is no set homework topic list as these topics come up as we go. The topics will vary, but follow a basic guideline of body systems and common imbalances of these systems.

Mentorships are exclusive one on one time with me at the shop, or in the fields and forest harvesting and talking about the plants. Each day with me will vary as to the topics, the plants, the formulations and product making that comes up. Below is a basic list of skills you will acquire and topics we will discuss in regards to plant medicine and product making.
