I signed up for Colleen’s Holistic Herbal Course hoping to better understand how to incorporate herbal medicine into my life. The course wildly succeeded all my expectations and I feel eternally grateful to have Colleen as a teacher.
First of all, Colleen’s knowledge base continually blows me away. It is as though she is tapped into a universal stream of knowledge, because it flows effortlessly and it is vast.
The program itself is organized into digestible components that build on one another. Even now that the program has ended, I find my knowledge of herbal medicine still growing, thanks to the system of learning I took away from the program. I will be out in my garden, or walking past trees while doing errands, or on a forest walk, and find myself making connections and having “ah-ha!” moments.
I used to feel intimidated about the world of herbal medicine. Now, I feel empowered, and safe, to make my own medicines for my family and myself. I feel more in control of my health and well-being. My relationship with plants has deepened, and my whole world feels more alive. I would highly recommend this program to anyone.

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 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.

Before meeting Colleen I had been dealing with hormone imbalances and mood swings for many years, since working with her for over a year my overall health has vastly improved and I have gained more understanding about my body. I have witnessed her approach with other clients and have felt that her attitude towards health and healing not only assists others on a physical level but on an emotional one as well. She brings so much knowledge, wisdom and positivity into her practice, it is truly uplifting and inspiring to work with her.- Origin Shamanic Healing Arts

The program also sets the stage for a self-reflective journey about health and preventative wellness.
