Confident Herbalist Tribe SP 1

Let's face it--there's nothing more frustrating than learning the basics about using herbs for medicine, only to feel like there's just SO much more to learn! And there's nothing more disheartening than getting started making herbal recipes, and then trying to do it all alone without help or feedback.

You would love to have a working knowledge of the medicinal herbs that grow around you. Maybe you've even tried taking foraging courses or searching online... You know that it's time to finally learn about the plants in order to take your herbal studies farther...

And yet, it's not quite working.

There's just SO much information about the plants, and you're not sure who to trust. Maybe you're afraid that if you try to grow or forage your herbs you'll make a mistake. As far as herbs and essential oils go, you're still deathly afraid you might poison someone!

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a REAL herbal support system with actual herbalists and aromatherapists to answer your questions? An Herbal Village!

Others make learning herbalism look easy. But for you, it's been anything but easy! You thought that the hard part was going to be taking a simple course or reading a book or even learning from YouTube, but as it turns out, that was only just the beginning, plus YouTube has an awful lot of garbage information. And now you feel like you must be missing something.

Or, maybe you're just realizing you want to have an actual person, a MENTOR, you can talk with to support you in your ongoing learning.

You're not alone. Most beginning herbalists and early aromatherapists feel these same things.

The truth is that having real knowledge about how to use medicinal herbs and essential oils with confidence is a game changer, one that will improve your health (and your family's), save you a ton of money, and even make you more self-reliant and empowered in your health choices.

The problems?

Most herbal courses are super expensive and usually aren't enough to get you started with true confidence...

Most people don't understand your desire to be more independent with your health through turning to natural plant medicine, causing you to feel SO alone on your herbal path....

And the fear of harming a family member or yourself often makes learning herbalism and aromatherapy feel like it's more trouble than it's worth....

But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right and actually developed a working knowledge of the plants and why/how they work?

What if you had a way to learn how to work with plants, people, and situations with confidence?

What if you had a kind and supportive community with experienced herbalists and aromatherapists to support you and answer your questions?

What if you had a path for making the more advanced topics you want to learn about accessible for you?

I spent years struggling through health issue after health issue, battling with doctors about drugs that didn't work and only made me feel sicker and had dangerous side-effects.... Then my high school son got an ulcer from taking ibuprofen for his painful knees for football at the team's doctor's suggestion.

That was the final straw for me!

I have been so blessed to learn about herbs and essential oils. I began my herbal education in earnest, starting my own medicinal herb gardens. I became a clinical herbalist and professional level aromatherapist. And, for the past 11 years I've been teaching others to have their own version of health empowerment through plant medicine.

I can help you speed up your herbal learning journey and create formulations with confidence because I support you in person (online)! I'm here for you! And I also supply you with a community of like-minded friends in a safe, private student group that's off social media.

Here's what that would look like....

Getting off of over-the-counter medications and possibly prescriptions like so many of our students have instead of being trapped in the medicine and side-effect cycle
Experiencing improved health instead of continue to suffer as you are now
Learning to handle your health holistically (mind, body, spirit, emotions) for TRUE healing and health instead of taking medicines only for symptom control and help others do the same
Gaining the confidence to REALLY learn how to use herbs and essential oils safely and effectively instead of wondering if you're going to poison someone you care about
Having experienced herbalists to turn to when you need some help formulating and decision-making
Perhaps even starting your own herbal business and doing something you're passionate about
The Confident Herbalist Tribe radically speeds up your learning process in learning phytochemistry, formulation (and more), AND provides solid support and help.

The Confident Herbalist Tribe is a motivating and complete herbal education community and group of herbal masterclasses with LIVE access to me weekly on Zoom. It's designed to help you learn deeply about medicinal herbs in all ways, so that you can formulate, create, grow, harvest, forage, preserve and prepare your own herbal and aromatic products for your family, yourself, and your friends...and maybe even start your own business!

I originally created the Confident Herbalist Tribe to help people seeking better health and independence from Big Pharma achieve the ability to use medicinal plants with confidence, safety, and effectiveness because I've seen first-hand in myself and others the life changing results from using medicinal plants.

After four years of added content, students who started out as beginners and are now practicing experts, we have content and activities for all levels from beginner to advanced. We're a village of herbalists who support and love each other.

If you are a person who is into self-reliance or natural living, or if you are sick and tired of having to use over-the-counter and prescription medications, this is an opportunity that I promise you will not want to miss.

The fact is, when people begin learning to use medicinal herbs, they're usually overwhelmed. And truthfully, there aren't a lot of places where you can reach out and ask a REAL herbalist a question and get an answer you can trust. Also, most good herbalism courses are expensive.

Here in the Confident Herbalist Tribe, student members actually LEARN in community with others or by themselves. It's a completely individualized experience. You'll truly become a confident herbalist by joining the Tribe!

You can become an herbalist in the margins of your life, on YOUR terms, and in the time you have. I did it. And I've taught others to do it. You can too.

We all learn differently. Step two is deciding how you want to approach your herbal learning inside the Tribe.

Masterclasses are organized in three ways: 1) by body system; 2) seasonally; and 3) alphabetically.

PLUS, our weekly live chats:

Monthly plant focus with recipes
Practice with a client intake and developing protocols
Live Question/Answer session
Access to all replays, and these are SEARCHABLE with transcripts.

Workshops! Additional fun workshops are rotated in and out each quarter!

Decide how YOU want to approach your herbalism path, and then take action!

If I don't have what I need, I can go into the group and find a recipe or get some help!

"When Heidi offered the monthly classes in the Tribe I jumped on it, her rates were SO affordable compared to all the others, she's a walking encyclopedia, and she is a kind, warm, humble human being that is easy to listen to and watch! When I started doing all this my kids were sure I'd flipped my lid, now they're calling me, "Hey mom, ya got any kinda voodoo concoction for this...." If I don't, all I have to do is get into the student group and I can find a recipe or get some help!"

OVER 55+ HERBAL AND AROMATIC MASTERCLASSES, WITH MORE BEING ADDED ALL THE TIME...

MASTERCLASSES! The Tribe currently contains over 55+ complete masterclasses. These are deep dives into specific herbs and essential oils PLUS herbal foundations courses. Each of these include videos and printable books that are between 30 and 50 pages of researched information, recipes, materia medica, phytochemistry, foraging and growing information, and more.

You'll get to choose the masterclasses that YOU need for your herbal journey. All of us are different and we need different places to begin. The Tribe provides this for you with three different organizations of the masterclasses. You can choose to start with body systems (perfect if you want to improve your health), take a seasonal approach (which is great if you're a gardener), or just take the masterclasses in alphabetical order or as they arrive each month in the course materials.

You're never "behind" in the Tribe, either. You can go through the masterclasses on your own schedule. It's easy to learn herbalism in the margins of your life. Most herbal preparations take literally moments to make, and by using your little spots of time in your life, you can quickly create herbal remedies to use for yourself and family.

BONUS: A HIGHLY ACTIVE AND ENGAGED STUDENT COMMUNITY

Honestly, our community is priceless. It's like none you've ever experienced before.

I realized how special our village is when another herbalist actually reached out to me for answers and help with a client....because she couldn't get an answer in her own student group! She said the group was dead.... I've been in groups like this myself, and there's nothing more frustrating!

BUT NOT THE CONFIDENT HERBALIST TRIBE....

If you have a question (and you will), this is where you can get answers, ideas, suggestions, and options from other herbalists and aromatherapists. It's truly an amazing addition to your learning and will dramatically shorten your learning curve!

Having access to the student community will alleviate any fears you have of poisoning yourself or family with herbs (which is pretty impossible to do anyway).

BONUS: LIVE LEARNING SESSIONS EACH WEEK!

On top of the amazing student group, you have personal access to me each week in our LIVE Question and Answer Chats and also inside our active student group that's JUST for Tribe members. **Yes, these are recorded, so if you have a question you want me to answer directly, I'll answer you on video in our weekly meetings, and you can always catch the replays. There are hundreds of these for your viewing pleasure, AND they're about to become searchable by the end of the year.

My hourly rate with clients is a minimum of $150 an hour. These chats alone are worth joining the Tribe, even if the masterclasses weren't included!

NEW BONUS: A CLIENT INTAKE/PROTOCOL SESSION EACH MONTH

One of the things herbalists eventually find they're doing is making suggestions to family members, community members, or even developing an herbal practice with clients.

These client intake sessions are meant to help you grow as an herbalist and become talented in formulating and making decisions based on individual constitutions, herbal energetics, and the specific conditions being discussed.

Client intake forms are also available for you along with many other herbalism resources inside the Tribe!

BONUS: DISCOUNTS FOR MEMBERS

Members of the Confident Herbalist Tribe get special discounts and pricing on other courses in our school. In fact, quite often, members have access for free to additional courses for sale in the school. Members also get a great discount on St. John's wort fresh herb when we harvest it during its short harvest window each summer!

Students of Healing Harvest Homestead School of Botanical Arts & Sciences also get treated to discounts from several bulk herb companies and reputable essential oil companies!

WE WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.....

Because it's a digital product with a massive amount of content, you have one day to look it over and decide if the Tribe is right for you. If it's not for you, I'll give you a full refund. In addition, those members who choose the subscription option rather than the lifetime course option pay a very small monthly or annual fee for access and can cancel their subscription at any time. NOTE: At the time the subscription is cancelled, students will no longer have access to the course materials or the student community.

You can join the Confident Herbalist Tribe on a subscription basis. If you don't like subscriptions, be sure to look at our "lifetime" options. The benefit to joining us on a subscription basis is that you have access to all the content for an extremely low price. You're grandfathered in with the price you join at as long as you remain a member in good standing. NOW is the best time to join, because prices usually go up one to two times a year.

Click the Enroll Button for all the subscription options available.

Because some people do not like subscription plans, buying the content as a complete course gives you the option to pay a one time price for lifetime access to the Confident Herbalist Tribe materials, both existing and new masterclasses as they're added.

Lifetime access to an online course means you can return to it any time for the duration of the course on the internet. It's a great time to invest if this is the option you like best...before prices go up again.

Payment plans are available too. Click the button below to choose your plan!

When I joined the Confident Herbalist Tribe what I found was an active and vibrant family of herbalists led by an excellent teacher.

"At the time Mrs V started the tribe I was half way through another course from a different herbal school. I was struggling with the format of the course and was disappointed with my progress and support there. After I became involved with the Tribe I never went back to finish that course because what I found was not a school curriculum, but an active and vibrant family of herbalists led by an excellent teacher that takes each student under her wing and takes a personal interest in each one.

I have progressed in my herbal studies under her by leaps and bounds. Thank you Mrs V for the passion and love you show us.

Over 55 masterclasses currently. New masterclasses are added on average every month, although sometimes more than one are added, and sometimes we'll skip a month.
Membership in the private school community. My student community is OFF social media on a completely private platform. You don't have to worry about prying eyes, and you can feel comfortable asking questions.
Live WEEKLY Question and Answer Chats...
PLUS these are recorded so you can watch the replays anytime you want.
BONUS courses!
Occasional access to other courses in the school.
Discounts on physical books and occasionally new courses I release.
PRICELESS: Access to a real herbalist and aromatherapist where you can get your questions answered.

NOTE: This is a completely digital product and group of masterclasses. Certain books are available as a physical book for an additional cost that's steeply discounted for Tribe members.

You have a lot of choices about how you want to invest in your herbal learning with The Confident Herbalist Tribe!

Option One: Subscription plans...

A subscription plan is charged monthly, quarterly, or yearly on an ongoing basis. These are generally less expensive in the short-term and they help people get started affordably.

Option Two: Purchase the Tribe as a Course...

When you purchase the Tribe as you would other online courses, you pay one fee and are never charged again.

Learning herbalism and aromatherapy is an investment in your future. I hope you'll join us!

Because of the massive value of the content inside the Confident Herbalist Tribe and the fact that it's all digital, you have one day to look over the materials and join the student group to see if it's a place for you. If you decide that it's not for you, please reach out for a full refund within that first 24 hours.

If you're on a subscription plan, please NOTE: Your access to the materials and the student group will be cancelled immediately upon cancellation of your payments regardless of the payment date of your subscription.

In these difficult times, we all want physical resources in our homes. Because I've found that students become overwhelmed with the massive amount of content available, materials are downloadable for students in good standing on a quarterly basis. However ALL materials are available for viewing online at any time. There are also physical books compiled of the herbal masterclasses available for an additional cost. **If you choose the "own the Tribe as a course" option, and you'd like a copy of any of the PDF's outside the quarter it's available, just reach out to me, and we'll take care of that for you via email.

I'm an introvert too, so I get you. When I take online courses, I usually don't engage in those groups on Facebook at all, no thank you.

However, as a career school teacher for decades, I know the power of engagement and human interaction in the learning process. I also know the mistakes other schools make in facilitating their student groups. I know how to avoid those mistakes.

I'm an expert facilitator, our community stands upon values of learning and respect, and it's a safe space for you to ask questions and learn.

Finally, our student village is OFF social media, completely. I care so much for our students that we've paid for, built, and created our village on a private platform where you won't experience the "creepiness" of Facebook.

You do NOT have to be involved in the student community if you don't want to. You can still enjoy all the videos and texts and the replays of previous chats on your own.

However, I encourage you to join the student area and take advantage of the incredible support and love there is inside!

The Tribe is NOT for a person who:

is looking for a totally free option for learning herbalism and aromatherapy. Learning anything worthwhile is an investment in your time and money.
wants to use the Tribe to sell their own products or spam the group with their YouTube videos
isn't truly interested in learning about herbs and essential oils
already has a vast knowledge of herbs and essential oils
doesn't really care about their health or the health of their family

The Tribe IS for a person who:

understands that learning herbalism is a valuable skill that you have for life!
realizes the power of plant medicine and wants to learn
is interested in leaving a valuable legacy to their children and grandchildren
likes to learn alone
likes to learn in community
wants a safe place and person to ask questions of and get answers!
wants a more affordable herbal education without losing quality
enjoys sharing their experiences with herbs and asking questions

There are TWO options for joining the Tribe:

The FIRST option is to join on a subscription basis. This means you have access to the materials for as long as you pay your monthly or annual payment. If you stop your payments, your membership ends immediately, and you lose access to the student group and all course materials.

Some people want to have access to the materials and student group without having a subscription, so if this is you, there's another option.

The SECOND option is to own the content like you would an online course. This means that you'll make one full payment or take advantage of the payment plan if you like....once you've paid in full, you now can access the Tribe content and the student group at any time with no more payments at all. You'll own the Tribe for the lifetime of the course/membership.

There are two main aspects of the Confident Herbalist Tribe:

1) The course materials are housed inside the school

2) The student community is housed on a private platform OFF social media where you're safe.

You're in charge of how you want to approach your herbal studies inside the Tribe. Masterclasses are organized in these ways:

1) Herbal Foundations courses are available for those who need the basics.

2) The deep-dives into specific plants and essential oils are organized three different ways:

**by body systems (great for those with health issues they want to work on)

**by seasons (great for gardeners and foragers)

**alphabetically (great for those who want a very ABC approach

PLUS, take advantage of our weekly live learning sessions, which are recorded so you can watch the replays.

YOU get to choose how to learn! And if you want ideas, the members in the student group can help get you going, or you can ask in one of the live weekly chats!

The Confident Herbalist Tribe is an ever-growing, and therefore, ever-changing membership opportunity. I do reserve the right to make changes to the organization, frequency, and format of any additional materials according to the needs of my students or to streamline materials if I feel this is necessary. As of now, new masterclasses are added on an approximate bi-monthly basis, with workshops rotated in and out per quarter. Live learning sessions with replays for those who can't attend are also an important part of the Tribe.

**NOTE: To protect students, I also reserve the right to remove students from the student group aspect of the Tribe if rules are broken. If this happens (and so far it's only happened once) then the student will still have access to the course materials but not the student community. There will be no refunds in this event.

Herbal education with a village. Formulation, phytochemistry, researched materia medica, client protocols, beginner to advanced herbal and aromatherapy support.

The perfect place to grow your practice!
