This signature program has been offered to hundreds of students since 2008. What makes this program so unique is the marriage of both the practical, hands-on application of herbalism combined with the traditional, intuitive wisdom of the Wise Woman Way, taught by a sought-after teacher with over 20 years of clinical experience.
You will learn how to make potent, effective herbal medicine for yourself, family, friends and community saving hundreds of dollars on over-the-counter remedies and saving countless hours trying to figure out how to ease common household ailments.
A certificate of completion will be granted to all students who attend 80% of all classes.
"As a beginner in the world of plant medicine, I have often felt intimidated by this path. However the way this program weaves the essence and magic of plants with the science of herbal medicine has helped me find my confidence and clarity in working with herbs." Lisa W.
Seraphina is a powerful and gifted teacher. Weaving together scientific frameworks with intuitive ways of knowing, she supports her students to dive deep into the mystery of plant medicine and holistic healing.
Infused with beauty, ritual, and heart, her classes open up a space in between worlds -rooted in the physical and simultaneously immersed in the ever expansive spiritual realm of which we are all a part of.
Seraphinas warmth and deep presence supports her students to connect with their own intuition, inner wisdom and ancestral ways of knowing that are rooted deeply within our bodies. This is a precious and vital gift in a world that often has many of us disconnected, disempowered, and severed from our own truth and wholeness. Re-membering our way back into relationship with ourselves, each other and the land is a deep deep medicine and Seraphina guides this journey with skill, integrity, compassion and wisdom.

The heart of this program is the development of a personal relationship with plants. The course materials are taught from the Vitalistic perspective, which emphasizes the Vital Force (Qi) and returning the body to balance, rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
Participants of this program will learn a whole new perspective on regaining health, and how to enhance our vitality. This program does not simply teach "this herb for that", but rather, delves deeper into how to match a person to the correct herb for their body. This is a truly holistic approach to healing which is deep, powerful, effective - and easy to understand.
This program braids the traditional wisdom of grandmother medicine, folk magic, vitalism, intuition and practical modern science inspired by Seraphina's 20-years as as clinician.

"I found this program to be very well rounded and holistic. Seraphina has shown me how to deepen my relationship to plants in an intimate way and has inspired me to deepen my knowledge even more. Seraphina exudes passion for her work and that comes through in her teachings as well as through the way she supports her students. She is very present and available along the way which I found extremely helpful throughout the course."
"I highly recommend this course to anyone who has any interest in health, plants, and making their own medicines. It is suitable for beginners and also for those who have some experience with the medicinal plant world who wish to refine their knowledge and skills. I will always treasure this experience as a very significant and deeply rooted foundational step on my path of healing with herbs."
