MariaRobinCarterMaria's Special Herbal Study Programs

Empower yourself in herbal medicine with Maria's Home Herbalist Series and the Beyond the Home Herbalist Series. Each of the nine classes in each series will introduce you to a body system - how it works, when things go wrong, and how to bring it back into balance with herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle - as well as a remedy-making technique. You'll finish the series with a strong background in herbal medicine, the ability to confidently use herbs in your home for everyday ailments and overall wellbeing, and a stocked home apothecary. Then, if you're interested, move beyond to Maria's Advanced Series. Certificates of Completion will be granted to eligible students for each series. All three seres together comprise the Wintergreen Botanicals Herbalist Training Program over-arching Herbalist Certificate.

Interested students should read Maria's blog on Becoming an Herbalist, see series FAQ and policies including what a certificate does and doesn't mean here,. and check out this overview of the full program including course hours. All class registrations are nonrefundable.
