Learn MoreLearn A&P with our very own Wendy Warner, MD, ABIHM, IFMCP and Andrew Appello, DACM, MSN, L.Ac., APN, RH(AHG) available here! They are wonderful teachers and have a depth of knowledge on anatomy and physiology (as well as many other topics), especially as it pertains to clinical practice, that few others can offer. We believe you will find this class not only highly educational but deeply relevant to becoming a clinical herbalist.


From our students:
“This A&P course was extremely well-organized and proceeded on a lesson gradient with each body system connecting to the next. The herbal knowledge spread throughout the course helped to bridge the gap between how herbs and different parts of the body work together to achieve balance. It lays out a thorough foundation for any non-science degree individual looking to prepare for serious herbal studies.”-Kate McKinley
““I found this course to be exceptionally well-designed — an exciting and accessible entry-point into the study of anatomy and physiology. In particular, I appreciated the integrative approach which underlies this program, which is co-taught by a licensed acupuncturist, nurse practitioner and clinical herbalist and by a physician herbalist, each with years of experience in working between conventional clinical medicine, herbalism and other traditional healing modalities.” -Sarah Epstein

Learn MoreThis is not a “soft course” for dabblers. Bring your best, for David Winston will always bring his. Undoubtably one of the most gifted herbalists of our time, or any time, I think David’s greatest gift may be as a teacher. I am constantly in awe of his, and his team’s, dedication, professionalism, and wealth of knowledge. I was an online student, in what may have been one of the more challenging years, a.k.a. 2020 and the COVID-19 epidemic. But every week through personal and technological challenges, David persevered, and laying his years of research and experience out to eager listeners. He was challenging, provoking, and demandingly encouraging. I feel that I am going into the world of herbal medicine with possibly the very best foundation that exists. This course is possibly the most important and rewarding academic experience I have ever had.
