Somatic Herbalism ~ A Journey Back to Self
Begins October 2026

 
 

What is Somatic Herbalism?

Somatic herbalism uses small drop doses of plant medicines to engage sensory changes in our response to being in that moment, place and time. This practice requires a basic understanding of a dozen or so remedies to guide the practitioner in their choices of which plant to “test”.

The goal in the practice to find the plant that the body recognises to engage their connection back to themselves - at times this revelation is the first approach to heaing.

This training meets one weekend per month for three months in Burlington, Washington.

Tuition is $895 includes all plants used in class and a 10 lesson webinar in specific remedies.
Pre-requisite: A basic understanding of a minimum of 12 plants and how they support the body in healing.

A basic understanding of herbal medicine making - how to prepare and use herbal teas, decoctions, tinctures.


Following my training in Somatic Herbalism, I opened the People’s Medicine Free Herbal Clinic. What I witnessed there was nothing short of a miracle on a daily basis. Holding space for people’s responses to the subtlety of plant magic changed my relationship with my practice and myself.
