A comprehensive course of study, the Clinical Herbalist Course is a 1,240-hour education in herbal healing. Upon completion of this course, you'll be prepared for a career as a professional herbalist, with up-to-date information on herbal remedies.
With the knowledge and wisdom gained through the three-year program, you will be able to help your clients through the use of sound knowledge of the divine design of the human body, be able to serve as a nutrition counselor, and apply the art and science of herbal medicine throughout life. What our students are saying about our course programs: "I
would recommend this course to all Christian ladies, mothers, and
especially Christian midwives. I chose Naturally Healthy because I knew I
would get all the info I needed for the safety of the unborn who are
in need of our protection from those who know how to use herbs and
don't hold value in the sanctity of life. The NH family of herbalists
and students have the right to take on healing in our life and the use
of nutrition and lifestyle to our bodies to heal as God designed them
to do." Deb Phillips, CPM - Little Rock, AR
"Taking
this course was something I have wanted to do for a long time. When
the opportunity came and I was able to take the plunge, there has never
been a moment's regret! I am constantly challenged, learning something
new every moment I study, and have made the most wonderful friends
through our online student support forum. I had looked at a lot of other
study courses but decided there was no way I would get the Christian
emphasis with another program. Naturally Healthy allows me to combine my
faith with my gift of wanting to help others. It has made a huge
impact in my life, and I am already able to be of benefit to others.
Personally it took me a couple of months to really grasp a good study
routine after being out of school for so long. If you are serious about
learning to become an herbalist, whether for your own family or as a
professional, you will get what you need here. You will be stretched.
The material is not easy, but you will get a very solid foundation for
what an herbalist is and how to put that into practice. After my first
on-site workshop in Louisiana, meeting Shonda and the other ladies in
person, that sealed it for me. I knew I had made the right decision. Not
only had this course already impacted my life, it also impacts others
in a very significant and personal way. It has been an amazing journey
so far! Nichole Wade, Herbalist at Leap of Faith Farm in Windsor, MO
"Shonda
Parker of Naturally Healthy strives for excellence in her practice as
an herbalist, and she expects the same of her students. The Naturally
Healthy course content and instructor feedback provides a thorough and
in-depth foundation of herbal and nutritional knowledge, equipping you
with all that you need to become competent in treating your own family
naturally, or continue on further and become a Community or Clinical
Herbalist. After completing the Community Herbalist course, I felt
prepared and equipped to start my own business providing natural health
education; and in my practice as a midwife, to counsel my clients in
appropriate use of herbal therapies during pregnancy. As a Clinical
Herbalist student, what I love most about learning from Shonda is how
she presses her students to develop protocols for clinical practice that
are evidence-based. I highly recommend Naturally Healthy to anyone
seeking to learn more about herbs and whole health!" Kristen Benoit, LM, CPM, Community Herbalist, Clinical Herbalist student www.wholefamilyherbals.com
