“The Advanced Herbal Course was a trove of useful information. I could not have asked for a better educational foundation as I continue on with my work with plants. ”
Kristy Baird
“I absolutely loved every minute of the advanced course with the Herbal Academy! I had already taken the intermediate course, which gave me a pretty solid foundation for working with herbs in my day to day life, and this course really solidified that foundation for me. I loved learning more about the history of herbal medicine, diving deep into the anatomy and physiology of various body systems and health issues, and really getting to know so many plants in more detail and learning the nuances of each of them. I’ve come away from this course much more confident in my practice of herbal medicine, and have been able to help myself and my community countless times throughout my studies. This has been such a wonderful and rewarding experience, and while I’m sad to see it end, I feel well-prepared for whatever the future brings! ”

“I’ve studied with HANE since 2014, taking various small and intensive courses. Most recently, I completed the Advanced/ Clinical Herbalism program. I’ve loved this school since my very first interaction with the staff and the programs offered. There is a level of professionalism that goes above and beyond, and the resources provided to students are unbeatable.
I’ll always recommend HANE as my first choice for herbal education, and I often recommend to clients that they take an introductory Herbalism course through HANE so that they can begin their own journeys into understanding the history, intentions and processes behind Herbalism. ”

“The education was very comprehensive and will definitely help in furthering my career.”
