Author, “Creating a Modern Homestead: Traditional Skills for Everyday Life"
Heidi Villegas is a teacher, author, and the founder of the School of Botanical Arts & Sciences (SOBAS) and the popular website, Healing Harvest Homestead. She's researched and written thousands of pages of text for the courses in her herbalism and aromatherapy school, and has developed natural wellness courses based in herbal medicine from short and specialized up to certification options.
She began her herbalism and aromatherapy education about 20 years ago, long before there were online courses available to take. She has enjoyed working with clients so they might enjoy the improved health she experiences because of medicinal plants, and now she has taught thousands for this same reason.
Heidi has also owned and operated a successful herbal products business, and has been actively teaching herbalism in person and now online since about 2012 when she worked closely with community, clients, customers of products, and held local workshops. Since around 2016, she took her herbal expertise online to serve a greater number of students.
These life experiences have given her a broad base of valuable wisdom. She's taught thousands of students to bring herbalism into their lives, their communities, and many have even started their own businesses!
Heidi teaches herbalism from a Christian perspective, which is an important differentiator--a view of God as Creator of our plant gifts. Her approach is holistic and vitalistic, and she believes in the power of mental and emotional wellness being taught alongside physical and health.
