I learned that Herbology is different from Herbalism. Would have liked to have had some education on why it’s important to use organic herbs. Really liked the format of the class.

This was so awesome. I worked through it with our children aged 11 to 16 and we learned so much together as a family. I think it would have been helpful to have a little note at the start of each module – or at the start of the course a page with what you’d need for each module and if these lessons would be a practical or theory. Just so we can have everything on hand that we may need for that lesson. We have really had our knowledge extended and are excited to start the next course.

Debby (verified owner) –
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.
