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.

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.

Completing the Holistic Herbalism Advanced Clinical program as a clinical herbalist has given me new perspectives, new tools, and new knowledge to support my work with clients. I’ve come out the other end a more well-rounded and more confident clinician. A lifelong learner herself, Colleen is a curious, energetic, and deeply knowledgeable instructor. This program strikes a true balance between the art and science of herbalism. Highly recommended!

The Holistic Herbalism Program is a solid stepping stone for the study of herbs, and their energetics, from a West-meets-East perspective. The program also sets the stage for a self-reflective journey about health and preventative wellness. Colleen Emery is a fountain of knowledge, wisdom, and compassion – an experienced guide in walking the plant path!

Colleen has helped my family and I regain our health through her special blends of Tea (which are amazing and so tasty!) and Elixirs. She has always been accurate in which herbs to whip together for each of our family members needs, which has resulted in great outcomes. We will continue to use her herbs and teas daily to help us keep our health in the positive direction it is in now as they are a staple in our home.
