 Herbal Peri & Post Menopause Support with Maria

Online Live & Recorded on 
Tuesday, October 13 , 5-7 pm Eastern Time (2-4 pm Pacific Time)
Hosted by Mel at the Herbalists Path

Perimenopause and menopause can feel like hellfire for some of us, and like a beautiful metamorphosis into more radiant health for others. Most of us land somewhere in between. Either way, the hormonal fluctuations and shifts that come with this transition affect far more than just hot flashes, and as herbalists, having solid, nuanced knowledge in this area is essential. The bulk of the population seeking herbal support is peri- and post-menopausal, and they deserve a practitioner who really knows their stuff. In this class I bring nearly three decades of clinical experience working clients in their menopause transitions as well as my own personal journey through this transition. My approach is grounded, evidence-informed, and deeply practical. Topics will include hot flashes, sleep, and much more.

Supplements for Strong Bones in Perimenopause with Maria

Hypermobility & EDS with Lauren Eadline

Live Online & Recorded on
Wednesday, October 14, 6-9 pm Eastern Time

One of the most complex sets of diseases and also among the most misunderstood, hypermobility syndromes have recently come to the forefront due to campaigns led by patients and provider allies. However, when it comes to genetic connective tissue diseases that can cause hypermobility due to collagen loss such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, the impact can and usually does go far beyond the level of the joints. Therefore, in order to approach these symptoms, conditions, and co-morbidities effectively, the real story behind how and where changes to collagen target the anatomy and physiology of the hypermobile body must be told. In this class, we will go into these foundations, discuss how hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) might affect each body system and  how to assess for symptoms and patterns of dysfunction. Lastly, we will review plant-forward integrative protocols for the “Triad”: hEDS, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Details & Registration Here

Building an Accessible and Inclusive Herbal Practice with Ember Peters

Live Online & Recorded on
Wednesday, October 21, 5-8 pm Eastern Time

Accessibility is at the heart of herbal medicine. In order to be an accessible and inclusive practitioner, we have to ask ourselves – who do I want to access my services, and what are the specific barriers that they face? Barriers include physical, financial, technological and cultural, and differ based on each person’s lived experience. It can be easy for us to be inaccessible without realizing it to people who have different needs. How can we set up our practice and consultations in a way that is accessible, welcoming and respectful for each person’s unique needs? How can we adapt or respond to barriers as they arise? How can we improve the accessibility of our clinic and educational spaces while centering sustainability over the long term, as professionals who have to balance our values with making a living? This class will provide practical and concrete skills and models you can put into practice now to better welcome and support a diversity of clients. The framework of this class will be taught through a client-centered, anti-racist lens, grounded in the belief that accessible community based herbalism can help us build collective resilience during the challenges of our times.

Trauma-Informed Herbal Care with Vilde Chaya Fenster-Ehrlich

Live Online & Recorded on
Wednesday, October 28, 6-9 pm Eastern Time

This class starts from a multifaceted, systemic understanding of trauma. From that foundation, we will explore the way trauma affects our clients, plays a role in health pictures, and affects clinical interactions. We’ll talk about the effects of different types of trauma on the nervous system, different categories of PTSD, and the ways trauma can affect our experiences in the world. Then we’ll think about different contexts where we provide herbal care, asking questions like: How may trauma responses emerge and how can I prepare and respond? When and how should we explore trauma with a client, and what’s relevant for a clinical assessment? What herbal supports can be helpful when clients are severely affected by trauma? How do we avoid causing harm and stay within our scope of practice? Details & Registration Here

Assessment Strategies for Complex Cases and Elusive Symptoms with Lauren Eadline

Live Online & Recorded on
Wednesday, November 4, 6-9 pm Eastern Time

Sometimes, abdominal pain is just from eating too much. Sometimes, it’s something that can be picked up on a scan or test by the client’s doctor or specialist referral. And sometimes, it seems the answer to someone’s concerns is just always out of reach. When someone’s symptoms are multi-faceted, vague or stump clinical expertise, the assessment process transforms from something straightforward and systematic into something far more complex. In this class, we will explore the concept of clinical investigation and its crucial role in working up tricky clients and health concerns so that we can better support them with the appropriate herbs and natural strategies or help them find the right medical care more efficiently. We will introduce methods and strategies for critical thinking, inductive inquiry and the promotion of radical discovery while maintaining the integrity of scientific standards. We will conclude by looking at the role of Western energetics in the investigative process, and consider several cases for practice. Details & Registration Here
