Beginners Start Here for a Reason
I've taken other courses on the subject... and they were fine... but they definitely didn't go into as much detail. This course spends more time talking about each type of tea than the other courses spent on tea overall... and now I feel much more confident moving forward as I fine-tune my herbal medicine making routines. I look forward to taking more classes from this instructor!!

"Thank you so much for your knowledge. Very informative and packed with so many remedies I can begin to implement in my home. I was searching for the most natural way to make teas & aids for different health needs for my family. I honestly believe this will be a great asset to us all. Again, thank you! Mini course was a breeze and very easy to follow. Great Work!!!"

Just finished Everyday Herbalism class. I really enjoyed it. My favorite part was hearing the properties of each herb and got me thinking of some new herbs I need to try. Fantastic job!

Inside Everyday Herbalism, I’ll walk you through the foundations with clear explanations, practical examples, and no judgment about what you do or don’t already know. You can begin exactly where you are and build your confidence one herb at a time.
My teaching is rooted in African American herbal tradition and shaped by years of helping students develop a thoughtful, responsible relationship with plant medicine.
