"I began apprenticing with Colleen in 2012 with her children's herbal education program, Herb Club. Through this phase of my apprenticeship I learned hands-on medicine makings skills, began materia medica study and learned of the countless ways that herbal medicine can support children's wellness and engage creativity. This start to my herbal studies was a truly rich experience as it introduced me to herbal medicine gradually by working with a specific herb each week. After two years of helping with Herb Club I moved into the dispensary where I continue to receive weekly training from Colleen in making medicine, formulating, and the practical skills of running an herbal business. She is an amazing teacher and an inspiring herbalist who 'walks her talk'. I feel so very blessed to have crossed paths with her and to have the great fortune of studying her."

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.
