What People Are Saying

“Before taking this course I was lost on how to forge a pathway to become a herbalist. Now I have learned the many different components of herbalism. The teachers are amazing and have so much knowledge and experience. The combination of live and recorded material gives you flexibility with your studies. I really enjoyed that it offers a view of herbalism both through a scientific and spiritual lens. I'm so happy to have now have a solid foundation and direction on how to continue my journey by taking this course! This course is perfect for someone who already has a passion for herbs but wants to go deeper, explore what being a herbalist could look like and get guidance on how to get there.”

“This has been a great and worthwhile course! I learned a lot about therapeutics, herbal energetics, and chemistry. To me the course has drawn on the most useful information from science as well as herbalism's traditions, and so I feel like I've got the best of both worlds. Ember and Oren are patient, knowledgeable instructors who seem to really care about herbalism and the plants themselves, as shown in the classes about ethics. This fairly advanced course would be useful for people who want to become herbalists, and for people who want to use herbs to support their own health along with the health of their families and friends. It has a wide breadth of material, and I find myself already drawn to certain areas that I want to learn more about.”

“Choosing to enroll in the Maritime School of Holistic Herbalism's Intermediate Program was the right decision. I got to build upon my existing knowledge while challenging myself with more formal herbal education. The course is very well organized and has something for everyone, whether it be for family & self care or working towards more formal herbalist training. I'm very grateful to Ember and Oren for sharing their expertise with me and my cohort.”
