Registration for the next Third Year Practicum is open now.

This advanced practicum is open to students who have completed both the first year Creating Your Home Apothecary course and the second year Practical Herbalism Intensive, or comparable study elsewhere.

Healing happens most often when we are able to see, and help our clients see, how rarely health concerns arise in isolation. We learn instead to recognize the interconnectedness of each individual’s past and present lifestyle, diet, relationships, stressors, and more, which we then do our best to understand, respect, and support in the context of physical and emotional well-being .

Designed for those who wish to gain the knowledge and confidence that only real-time clinical observation and corresponding custom-tailored herbal formulation can offer, this Clinical Practicum offers the following:

• 4 small-group, advanced classes, including 6 full-length initial consultations with volunteer clients in a group setting

• 6-10 follow up consultations with the same clients

• Interactive clinical time that offers both observation and engagement for each student

• Group discussions of health issues presented and the creation of custom-blended herbal protocols for each client

• Practical skill-building: intakes, health histories, assessment techniques, client/herbalist rapport, formula-making

• In-depth study of whatever health issues our clients share

• An understanding of how to approach each clinical interaction holistically, taking into account both physical and emotional well-being and addressing each to the best of our ability with appropriate herbal, lifestyle, and dietary suggestions.
