Holistic Herbalist level 1 Course


Phytotherapy or medical herbalism is a complementary health system that combines ancient traditions (mainly Western and increasingly covers Asian traditions) with the cutting edge of current scientific research.

The complete herbal consultant course has 36 lessons and three levels:

  • Level 1 for self-care and family health
  • Level 2 for Phytotherapy 
  • Level 3 for Phytotherapy

Before we can heal others, we need to heal ourselves first. The level 1 course, therefore, serves to set a good foundation for your herbal healing journey and professional development.


For whom

For those of you who are called to a higher purpose to heal and care for others and the environment.

This course is for everyone, whether you are a beginner or a health professional.

For the beginner, you will learn practical skills to help self, family, and others; to create a better world around us. You can use the skills to support your career in the natural health or health supplement industries.

The health professional such as counsellor, psychologist, dentist, nurse etc. can integrate the knowledge and skills to their private practice and enhance the clinical outcome of their patients.

Before we can heal others, we need to heal ourselves first. The level 1 course therefore serves to set a good foundation for your herbal healing journey and professional development. 

“My big dream is for you to self-heal through plant medicine and to have the grace and wisdom to heal others.”
