Learn MoreI was thrilled when I was accepted into David Winston’s two year Herbalist Training. For most of my adult life I attempted to be have a healthy lifestyle and read related articles and books whenever possible. However, I wanted a stronger foundation. I wanted to be able to understand the whys and hows…not just the results. The two year program gave me what I was seeking – knowledge of herbal therapeutics, knowledge and history of the variety of approaches to herbal medicine and the ability to intelligently research. I moved onto the Graduate Program because I wanted to understand the ways to use and combine the herbs to form treatments.
Although I did not take the courses to become a registered herbalist, I am now and will always be a student promoting the positive impacts of alternative(original!) medicine practices. Family and friends have received the benefit of my knowledge and training. I have found the avocation that I was seeking. And, who knows, maybe one day, with continued training, I will hang out that shingle!
