An Easier Way to Learn about Herbs and Use Them with Confidence

Even if you’ve never made herbal medicine before

Have you ever felt confused learning about herbs and herbal medicine?
Or have you flipped through online searches trying to figure out which herbs to use for specific problems, without getting the answers you need?
Have you ever signed up for an online herb course and then gotten bogged down in the information but found the online support forum didn’t actually offer the support you needed
Have you ever paid for an expensive online course, only to find out that you lost access because it took you too long to complete the course.
Have you looked at the state of the world and wondered how you could build resilience for whatever lies ahead.
Have you wanted to create an herbal apothecary from local herbs to improve your preparedness plans
Do you want to shift from reliance on OTC drugs and the pharmakeia medical paradigm to working with natural herbs

You’re not alone. I understand how hard it is to navigate the deluge of herbal education and online information, and find a resource you can trust, that actually worked for you and allowed you to grow your confidence in using herbal remedies in your own home, while supporting you as you learn.

But imagine that:

♥ You had an online group of like-minded friends that you could come to and ask questions and dip into the collective herbal wisdom freely shared

♥You had ongoing coaching to help you develop your knowledge and confidence in growing and using herbs

♥ You easily mastered the time tested methods of growing and using herbs for prevention, self care, cooking, and family wellness.

♥You completed masterclass after masterclass by investing just 15 to 20 minutes a day in your herbal studies.

♥You gained a firm foundation in herbalism through both introductory, intermediate, and advanced herbalism studies at your own pace

♥ You had a growing herbal home apothecary that was ready to keep your family healthy on demand

♥ You developed your technique to choose the right remedy with the right herbs and no longer doubted your own intuition

♥ You had a simple step by step plan to empower you to confidently and skillfully make herbs an integral part of your wellness strategy

♥ Your family and friends come to you for natural remedies because they recognize your growing skill and wisdom

♥You had confidence to vet scientific studies to understand which ones were valid in evaluating the efficacy of natural products

♥You had an in-demand set of skills that made you welcome in autonomous communities in challenging times.

Why I created the DIY Herbal Fellowship

Herbs heal us. We call them allies or helpers because they help our body do what it was made to do — repair itself. But herbs are complicated and the amount of information you need to know to use them safely and effectively can be overwhelming.

Four years ago, I founded the DIY Herbal Fellowship to help people learn to use herbs to help their families heal. I wanted to simplify the complexity of herbal knowledge to make it easier for busy people to learn herbs and get these herbal allies working in their own family.

There were a lot of good online herbal courses that poured out herbal knowledge, but they were expensive, overwhelming, and lacked several important components that make learning faster and easier. I saw a lot of busy moms purchase online classes and then never get past the first module. I saw the frustration, the overwhelm, and the feeling of being alone and unsupported in the journey. And frankly, online herbal studies weren’t fun.

I designed the DIY Herbal Fellowship to return the wonder to learning herbs.

Classes are divided into easy, bite size pieces meant to be watched during a break
Games and fun are an integral part of the learning process
Lessons contain practical hands-on projects to increase knowledge retention and give you immediate success while you build your home apothecary
Students are supported through online mentoring, social times, and monthly community Q and A calls

The DIY Herbal Fellowship will help YOU:

Put healing herbs to work for you right away
Support your body’s innate healing capacity
Build confidence and skill using common herbs for every day wellness
Master time tested herbal remedy techniques that are safe and effective
Nurture your family and your natural home with long term wellness in mind
Break down information overwhelm into a simple step by step success path so you can get results faster
Have ongoing support, coaching, and mentoring in your herbal learning, where you can ask questions in the safe and effective use of herbs for wellness
Prepare for challenge times by giving you an essential survival skill set
Create the herbal remedies you need to prep for every season with others who are doing the same

Natural remedies are growing all around you

A few years ago, travelling to the city, I stopped at a gas station to use the facilities. Inside the bathroom there was a mom with three little girls. The mom had a bag of ice cubes. One of the girls had a red, swollen finger. She’d just been stung by a wasp.

I told the mom about an herb that works quickly to stop the pain and swelling of wasp stings, and actually removes the venom from the injury. The mom was polite but unmoved, until I stooped down and picked a few leaves and handed them to her. Everything changed at that moment. That mom became empowered to help her little girl’s pain, with a leaf — a leaf that she could find on the side of the trail, anywhere she traveled, without cost, without complications.

And that wayside plant is just the beginning of so many stories of empowerment through herbs.

Meet Tammy

Recently Tammy, one of the members of the DIY Herbal Fellowship, wanted to help her son. Her son is a professional umpire and one of the hazards of his job is getting hit with the baseball. Some of those balls are pitched at 100 miles per hour. It leaves a deep and painful bruise if it hits your arm or your thigh. Tammy’s son was getting hit with the ball regularly.

But Tammy wasn’t helpless. Tammy learned in the DIY Herbal Fellowship a few herbs that help with deep bruising, pain, and inflammation. She made up a travel kit with salve, tea bag poultices, and a tincture using herbs that grew in her backyard and close to home, to help her son heal faster.

A few days later she reported that his bruising and pain was gone in just 3 days, compared to him suffering pain and bruising for more than a week without the herbs. Tammy was empowered to make these remedies, and now her son also is becoming empowered. Instead of just waiting out a bad injury, he has a way to heal faster and easier with herbs, thanks to his mom’s herbal wisdom.

The benefits of the DIY Herbal Fellowship education has a ripple effect to our families, our neighbors, and even complete strangers, like that Mom I met in the washroom.

Even if you’ve failed to finish other online courses I can help you learn to use herbs successfully

I developed the DIY Herbal Fellowship to fill the gap where other more expensive online programs fail. People learn best by using all their senses. Many online programs give you lots of head knowledge and information. But they fail to empower you with the intuition you need to use herbs in practical ways in your own family. This intuition comes only from experience and hands on practice. And you don’t get that from a textbook.

While herbal medicine has traditionally been passed on through mentoring and coaching paradigms, most expensive online programs leave you on your own to consume the material. Some even block your ability to move forward in your studies until you’ve passed written tests, without coaching you through the hard stuff.

The special framework I teach inside the DIY Herbal Fellowship won’t leave you at a dead end, unable to proceed in your herbal studies. It will give you the tools you need and the mentoring you desire to thrive in your herbal studies, and gain confidence in growing herbs and creating herbal remedies that are safe and effective for your family.

Why you can trust me

I’m the mom of 3 adult children that I home-schooled through their high school years. I’ve taught in-person plant workshops in my local community since 2003. I understand that our brains remember best when our hands are involved in rewarding work. My proven framework will help you get results faster and build an herbal intuition you can rely on.

I’m also a village herbalist that has been growing herbs and making herbal remedies and skin care products for 40 years. I’ve studied herbs with The Herbal Academy, The Homegrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine, Wild Rose College of Natural Healing, and The Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine.

I’m the author of 4 books about self reliance and natural health, including the Dehydrator Cookbook for Beginners (Rockridge Press, 2022), The Beeswax Workshop (Ulysses Press, 2017), The Beginner’s Book of Essential Oils (2015), and Homegrown Healing (2016).

My husband and I founded Joybilee Farm in 2007 where I help moms grow their own food and medicine so that they can create health and wellness for their families naturally and thrive.

I founded the DIY Herbal Fellowship in 2018 to help women grow and forage for herbs and use them to make safe and effective home remedies to help their families and their communities stay healthy and thrive.

As our world rapidly changes, it becomes more and more important to establish local and regional sources of both food and medicinal plants for health and wellness. The DIY Herbal Fellowship can help you do just that, whether your goal is to serve your own family or the wider community.
