Herbal Wisdom on Demand

Always suspected you have intuitive healing wisdom?

Already an herbalist or healer?

Wanting to begin your journey with plants & herbal medicine?

I'm Erin Vanhee. I’ve been lucky enough to teach herbalism for 30 years and to live a life enriched with wild plants for food and medicine. I know what it's like have barriers to an herbal journey. Is this plant safe? Am I too "blank" to pursue my dreams of being an herbalist? (Old, young, in debt, successful….insert here.)

Now you can learn from the comfort of your own home. I have taken my long-running in person herbalism classes and adapted them for the digital age.

 Each curriculum is specially designed to teach awareness of the senses and intuition when working with plants, letting you be fully present with others, the plants, and yourself.

Here's what people are saying...

Herbal study can lead you to the most wonderful, wild, and worthwhile places. After taking my herbal classes, students of mine have enriched their well-being, started their own businesses, and confidently became healers.

by Jade Schutes, Founder of the School for Aromatic Studies

"I had the great honor to study with Erin, NW herbalist extraordinare. Throughout the herbal training program I learned about and came into contact with over 50 different species that grew right outside my door and on the land around me. Plants I once admired but did not know became alive and in communication with me. I began seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching each plant, getting to know it (and me, more deeply.) Learning when to harvest it, how to make medicine from it, and most of all, how to respect the natural habitat it grew in by ensuring I honored ethical wild crafting. Learning herbal medicine along with aromatic medicine offers us an amazing journey and a great way to feel more empowered over our bodies and our medicine. What I realized most of all is the value of learning about the plants that grow right in your own back yard, so to speak"
