Providing open access to consciously sourced botanicals, professional health services and empowering education experiences that encourage and cultivate sustained wellness.
Colleen’s knowledge and passion for herbs is strongly evident in her practice and in her workshops. She empowers workshop participants with simple and understandable concepts to allow them to go home and successfully make medicine. Her breadth of knowledge and experience, gained from over 20 years of working with plants, is admirable and inspiring. I would highly recommend Colleen as a herbalist and a teacher.

Colleen Emery’s Holistic Herbalism Foundations was the education I needed to understand the herbal books that were filling up my bookshelves, and utilize the medicinal plants that seemed to be accumulating in my gardens. Her holistic, inclusive approach to teaching provides a well rounded education that grounds you both in modern scientific understanding of plant medicine alongside traditional use. Colleen’s teachings proved so useful to me in expanding my use of my books and gardens that I enrolled in the program twice, gaining even more knowledge my second time through. I feel confident using many herbs with myself, family and friends. I am grateful to have a strong foundation in which to build on for my future herbal studies.

Our family has worked with Colleen for over 15 years and I don’t know where we’d be without her! As a nutritionist, I believe strongly in the body’s innate capacity to heal when given the right nourishment and care. Colleen is an integral part of all our healing protocols. Her wisdom and intuitiveness have seen my children, my husband and I through many illnesses and chronic conditions. Not to mention her incredible teas, tinctures and essential oil blends, all of which are absolute staples in our home. She has made the sometimes terrifying ordeal of a small child’s illness manageable and all with her trademark humour and insight. I can’t recommend her services enough! Thank the goddesses for Colleen!

I consider myself very fortunate to know and have Colleen in my life. Whether it’s the little questions or big worries she has the unique ability to get to the bottom and really sort out the issues. Combine all that knowledge and experience with a nurturing nature and ability to make you see the positive or smile is just a fraction of what Colleen can provide. That said it is time for my “tune up” and that’s one appointment I always looking forward to!

The Holistic Herbalism Foundations Program taught by Colleen was a mind blowing experience for me. I’d been dabbling in herbal lore for years and decided I wanted something deeper. The Holistic Foundations Course offers depths I’m still swimming in with water wings on. Not only is the information infinite, Colleen is an absolute gem to learn from. She is so passionate about sharing what she knows and, she knows A LOT. How this magnificent woman remembers all she does is beyond me. Her delivery of the information is accessible and filled with passion and wisdom. I highly recommend this program to anyone, at any level of herbal study. Just to be in the presence of a human who cares so deeply is an experience of it’s own. Thank you Colleen, for your grace, your kindness, and for sharing your gifts with us.

Colleen’s wealth of knowledge, her appreciation for the plants, land acknowledgement, and her meticulous methods in medicine making that makes this program a very magical experience. I also appreciated the authenticity & her own thoughts about plants, medicine making, processing, herb suppliers, and safe and ethical application of herbs.
