Where the path can begin,and grow
You may come here because of your own body. That does not mean the work ends with you.
I see this in beginners, caregivers, wellness practitioners, doctors, nurses, and people who do not yet have a name for the work calling them. Your own questions may be the doorway. As your skill and confidence grow, you may begin to see how this knowledge belongs in your family, your community, the work you already do, or work you have not imagined yet.
For your circle of care
People already come to you. You want to offer grounded help without pretending to know what you do not know, and without carrying everyone alone.
For the work you do,or may grow into
You may want to bring a whole-person lens into an existing profession, begin working with private clients, or follow a direction you could not see clearly before.
What growth can look like
From caring for yourself to changing how you care for others.
My students have carried this learning into emergency rooms, therapy sessions, coaching, private practices, and businesses of their own. I cannot tell you exactly where this path will lead or what it will earn. I can help you build the depth, discernment, and practice that make a grounded next step possible.
I started a business called Herbal Harmony Roots, and I really stepped into what I feel like I am supposed to be doing. It has been scary and exciting at the same time. It has been really cool to see changes in people's lives. It is so rewarding.
I'm an emergency medicine physician. Over time, I realized there is so much more to medicine. It is not just giving someone a prescription. It is really understanding the mind-body connection. I use it in my practice, and I love it.
How I teach
I teach you to listen for what symptoms alone cannot tell you.
I created the CALYPSO Healing Method® because clinical practice, emotional wellness, spiritual life, culture, and ancestral wisdom belong in the same room.
Clinical practice
I will teach you practical assessment, safety, formulation, and decision-making skills.
Emotional wellness
Together, we will notice stress patterns, story, and the body’s lived experience with care.
Ancestral and spiritual wisdom
I will make room for lineage, relationship, self-inquiry, and meaning without separating them from practice.
I will be as clear about the limits of this work as I am about its possibilities. CALYPSO can help you notice patterns, ask better questions, and make thoughtful choices. It is not a cure or a replacement for diagnosis and care from a licensed healthcare provider.
I had taken programs that focused more on the body and the physical, and I always felt like something was missing. Finding Herbal Medicine for the Soul was a breath of fresh air. It helped me gain confidence as an herbalist and build deeper relationships with myself and the plants.
What you are really building
The goal is not to know every herb. It is to trust how you think.
I want you to be able to say, with honesty and experience behind it, “I trust myself with my own body.” That kind of confidence is practiced, questioned, and strengthened over time. You do not have to perform it.
Choose plants with discernment
Together, we will match herbs to the person, their constitution, the situation, and the intended purpose instead of relying on one-size-fits-all lists.
Prepare and formulate responsibly
I will teach you the practical details of preparations, dosage, contraindications, herb-drug interactions, and thoughtful formulation.
See the whole person
We will bring clinical observation, emotional awareness, spiritual practice, and ancestral wisdom into one grounded framework.
Practice with clear boundaries
I will help you recognize what belongs in personal or community herbal care and when qualified medical support is the right next step.
Student experiences
See what students have done with what they learned.
Herbal Medicine for the Soul® meets students at different points in their lives and work. Here are a few of the ways they have put their learning into practice.
For your own healingThis course came at a time when my thoughts and emotions were all over the place. I learned how to find peace from the static and receive much-needed clarity about the why and the how.
For your circle of careI am really connecting with the plants and understanding their history. I am so excited,I already have people in mind for the infusions I am making.
For work you may grow intoI started a business called Herbal Harmony Roots, and I really stepped into what I feel like I am supposed to be doing. It has been scary and exciting at the same time. It is so rewarding to see changes in people's lives.
For the work you already doI'm an emergency medicine physician. Over time, I realized there is so much more to medicine. It is not just giving someone a prescription. It is really understanding the mind-body connection. I use it in my practice, and I love it.
How I will guide you
We move from foundation to integration, one layer at a time.
Each phase gives you something to learn, something to practice, and somewhere to bring your questions.

Foundations, relationship, and medicine making
We will begin with herbal actions, plant energetics, ethical practice, emotional wellness, and water, alcohol, oil, and topical preparations.
02
Weeks 9–19
Body systems, assessment, and formulation
Together, we will study major body systems, tissue states, dosage, constitutional patterns, and how to build coherent whole-person support plans.
03
Weeks 20–25
Medical astrology and constitutional insight
I will guide you through planets, houses, signs, aspects, and lunar nodes as a reflective lens for constitution, timing, and self-understanding.
04
Week 26 + beyond
Integration, presentation, and lifelong practice
You will bring the work together and present what you have learned. Then I will keep the door open through lifetime lessons, replays, community, and new trainings.

Your guide inside the mentorship
You will learn directly with me.
I teach the lessons inside Herbal Medicine for the Soul® and meet with students in regular live virtual calls where you can bring your questions and practice thinking through cases.
I built this mentorship to help you move beyond collecting information and begin working with plants with knowledge, discernment, skill, and integrity.

Book your 30-minute clarity call
Let's listen for the right next step.
Bring what is happening in your body, what you hope to learn, and what you are unsure about. I will listen, answer your questions, and help you find alignment within the Iwilla Remedy curriculum. There is no hard sales script.
Herb kits are non-refundable once shipped. Please review the full terms and conditions.
You may be in the right place if
You want depth, practice, and a whole-person lens.
- You are curious about herbalism, even if you are beginning.
- You want skills for yourself, loved ones, or future clients.
- You are open to exploring emotional and spiritual dimensions of health.
- You want structure, community, and room to learn at your pace.
- You are ready to practice, reflect, and apply what you learn.
This may not be your program if
You are looking for a quick fix or a purely physical approach.
I will not promise cures, ask you to replace your doctor, or offer you a shortcut around practice. I also weave astrology into the curriculum as a tool for reflection and constitution. If that is not something you are open to studying, I want you to know before you enroll.
A clear no is as useful to me as a grounded yes.
Frequently asked questions
Take the time you need to choose well.
If I have not answered your question here, email my team at help@iwillaremedy.com. A real person from my team will answer.
What happens on the clarity call?
You will spend 30 minutes directly with me. I will listen to what brought you here, answer your questions, and help you see where the Iwilla Remedy curriculum may support your goals. It is not a hard sales call. I have told people when Herbal Medicine for the Soul® was not the right fit, or not the right fit yet.
I am new to herbs. Will I feel out of place?
No. I have taught many students who began without formal herbal training. I built the first phase to give you the foundation step by step, and lifetime access means you can revisit anything that needs more time.
Do I have to become a professional herbalist?
No. Some students come for their own healing or to support family and community. Others carry this work into careers they already have or begin serving private clients. Students have used what they learned in emergency medicine, therapy sessions, coaching, private practice, and new businesses. I designed the program to support personal and professional application while teaching clear scope, safety, and referral boundaries. I cannot promise a job or income outcome.
How much time should I plan for each week?
I recommend reserving about two hours each week for lessons and medicine-making assignments. You can move at your own pace. You are never behind.
What happens if I cannot attend a live call?
I record the live calls and add them to your library. You can watch the replay when your schedule allows and return to it later with your lifetime access.
How is medical astrology used?
I teach medical astrology as a reflective tool for understanding constitution, seasons, inner patterns, and personal gifts, not as a predictive practice. I weave it into the curriculum, so this program is best for people who are open to studying it. You are not required to use astrology in your own future practice.
Does the program replace medical care?
No. Herbal Medicine for the Soul® is an educational program. I will teach you to recognize contraindications, understand your scope, and know when licensed medical evaluation is the right next step.
What is the refund policy?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, minus card processing fees. Herb kits are non-refundable once shipped. I ask you to review the full terms and choose a payment option that respects your financial reality before enrolling.
Your next step
You do not have to know everything before you begin.
You only need enough willingness to tell the truth about what is not working and enough curiosity to listen for another way. If that is where you are, I am ready to welcome you into the full mentorship.
