Frequently Asked Questions

The term herbalism is subjective, since herbalism is an unregulated healing tradition. You can call yourself whatever you want AND, I personally started calling myself an herbalist after four years of study. In this culture we want things quickly and most times, true deep knowledge takes time and lived experience. That said this course series, if taken in its entirety will give you a solid starting point in herbalism and will absolutely give you some extra tools in your tool kit, when caring for your children & your family.

Hi,
I'm Elinor, a wise woman & bioregional folk herbalist.
I've been on the plant path for the last 9 years, learning and being in relationship with the green world.
You can find me hanging out with the plants, mothering my two small humans, singing at women's circle & teaching about herbalism & parenting.
Come along with me, and let's learn about plants. I'll teach you how to be the healer, the tender of your home and your family, by working with common plant allies.
