I’ve been playing with herbalism for some time – self taught, I would like to move into practising and treating clients and felt this beginners course really gave me a strong foundation and understanding of herbs, especially safety and contraindications. I also agreed with the analogy that healing begins with self. Throughout this course I applied what I learned to what I needed to heal within myself. To experience the results first hand gives me the confidence and belief that I have chosen the right path. Thank you for sharing your coursework, especially at no charge and I look firward to continuing my herbal journey.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I have learned a lot and has sparked a greater need to learn more.
I hope at some point I will get to appreciate the Christianity that was included in the course. At this point I did not as I felt that not every one is Christian. I do acknowledge that it was mentioned that those not interested in the Christian parts could skip those sessions. I did not as I wanted to see it’s value.

I have always wanted to be a Herbologist of I can say. And surfed the web last year and came across Herb Academy. At first, I thought it’s just those… But, this year I got an email from them and decided to give them a try.
This is Christian oriented Academy for me and all the Topics Covered are truly informative and necessary.
Di-di, I can’t thank you enough, you have been and continue to inspire me.. And most of all.. I will go until the end.. Herb Academy is the place to be… Yeppieeee!!!
