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 WORSE, faulty feedback from AI (a robot).

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 HUMAN herbalists and aromatherapists to answer your questions? A true community....an herbal village! That's the CHT!

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...

Worse, nowadays, so many herbal courses are created with artificial intelligence, and in most schools, there is no real live human mentorship.

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 15 year old 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!

Learning herbalism literally saved my life.....

I have been so blessed to learn about and to teach medicinal herbs and essential oils. I began my herbal education in earnest twenty years ago and even started my own medicinal herb gardens, became a clinical herbalist and professional level aromatherapist. And now, since 2012, I've been teaching others to create their own version of health empowerment through plant medicine.

Our teaching of herbalism and aromatherapy are based on our knowledge that God is the Creator of all and has gifted us with perfect medicinal plants for our health and wellness. We just have to learn how to collectively use these plant gifts for our health again, like people used to do before they outsourced all their health choices to modern medicine.

Join us on the journey! Become a valued member of our herbalism fellowship and village.

Here's what that looks like....

Getting off of over-the-counter medications and possibly even 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 as many of our students have done
Having a support network whether you're working clinically, as a community herbalist, or as a family herbalist.
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 SEVEN 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 and get to enjoy a massive library of resources.

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, or if you want to discover the possibility of truly holistic health for yourself and family....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 CHT, student members choose their path. They can LEARN in community with others or by themselves in self study....OR BOTH. It's a completely individualized experience. You'll become a confident herbalist by joining the Tribe regardless of how you choose to study.

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 become a confident herbalist too.

You'll take a short and fun quiz to determine exactly where you are in your journey to becoming an herbalist and aromatherapist!

When you're on a journey to a destination, you first must know where you're starting from and what your desires are! This gives you a place to begin and to set your learning goals.

And, recognizing this baseline helps you acknowledge later on how much you've grown. This gives you confidence!

The Confident Herbalist Tribe has become massively huge over the past seven years! Yes, it's now seven years old, and is filled with resources and supports for everyone wanting to learn or just to be in community with other herbalists.

Because of how much is included now, we encourage students to choose their Herbal Adventure! This gives you a great place to begin.

We all learn differently, and students in the Tribe choose their adventure!

* By body system and health need

* By seasons

* By plant masterclasses

Or.....

* More focused paths:
- Kitchen Herbal path

- Outdoor Herbalist

- Family Path

- Community Path

PLUS, everyone enjoys our weekly live chats and special learning sessions:

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 all included inside the Tribe, too!

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 easily 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!"

When you join the Confident Herbalist Tribe, you will have instant access to all the tools you need to become a truly confident herbalist and aromatherapist. Our proven process provides a guideline for you to safely start making your own herbal preparations with SUPPORT, so you'll never be overwhelmed with information overload again or experience paralysis by analysis!

NOTE: The Confident Herbalist Tribe (CHT) is NOT a course. Because there is SO much included inside, some people enter and feel "behind." There is no "behind" because inside, every student is on their own Herbal Adventure.

We support and honor this. Because we're HUMAN.

We know that learning herbalism is quite the learning endeavor, and truly, most people who want to learn know they'll never stop learning. This is who we created the Tribe for.... Those who want solid information, ongoing information from a real human teacher, and those who want to interact with others or simply enjoy evidence- and traditionally-based course materials.

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 the content and best of all the live weekly chats 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.

Choose the best plan for you:

Because some people don't 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 and community.

It's a great time to invest if you don't care for subscriptions...before prices go up again.

If you're committed to ongoing herbalism learning and love the camaraderie of the BEST herbal community there is, live Q&A and plant chats, special topical learning sessions, help with your clients (when you're ready), then this is your best option.

**Lifetime means as long as the internet is around and I'm still alive.

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 80+ (and growing) masterclasses currently. New masterclasses are added on average every month, although sometimes more than one are added, and sometimes we'll skip a month. We also add specialty workshops and special topical sessions throughout the years.
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...
Watch the replays anytime you want.
BONUS courses included
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 huge 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. You'll be glad you joined us!

Because of the massive value of the content inside the Confident Herbalist Tribe and the fact that it's all digital, you have two days 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 time frame with no questions asked.

IMPORTANT: If you're on a subscription plan, please NOTE that 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.

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 and thinks they know all there is to know (psst...nobody exists like this)
doesn't really care about their health or the health of their family or understands the value of having health choices

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

Herbalism can be learned in the margins of your life. When I started learning how to use medicinal herbs with skill, I quickly realized I could create most herbal preparations in under 10 minutes in my kitchen.

The Tribe is structured to save you time in researching and wondering what you should be doing. Besides human answers, you can also search hundreds of replays of videos from masterclasses and live Q&A chats with an optional transcript.

You have a safe place to get quick answers!

In fact, we have well over 100 students who have been with us since the beginning and are now experienced herbalists and aromatherapists! We can help you.

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, quarterly, 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 and video replays (that are searchable) 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, and we can help you get started or change paths, if you need help.

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 additional materials according to the needs of my students or my own or to streamline materials if I feel this is necessary. As of now, new masterclasses are added on an approximate monthly basis. In addition, all of our workshops and specialty courses are also included inside, making the CHT a rich and valuable place to learn herbalism, whether your just starting out or are already a seasoned herbalist!

Live learning sessions 3 to 4 times a month that include replays for those who can't attend are also included.

WE WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.....

Because the CHT is jam-packed with digital products and includes a massive amount of content, you have two days to look it over and decide if the Tribe is right for you. If it's not for you, and if you haven't downloaded anything, just ask for a refund (lifetime options or annual subscription).

NOTE: A student who has downloaded more than a typical monthly amount of content (one masterclass text book, videos, and replay transcripts per month) will not be eligible for a refund.

The Tribe is extremely valuable in its entirety. Please respect our hard work.
