First Year Ever
A hands-on, season-by-season herbal apprenticeship program for women ready to trust themselves again.
You don’t need another pretty herb book collecting dust on your shelf.
You need dirt under your nails. Plants in your hands. Medicine you made yourself.
No BS Herb School is a 7-month, in-person immersion designed for women who are done feeling confused, dependent, or disconnected from their bodies. This is practical, grounded, bio-regional herbalism — the kind you can actually use in real life.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I want to feel confident using herbs — not intimidated.”
“I’m tired of Googling symptoms and second-guessing everything.”
“I want to know what grows around me and how to use it.”
“I want to feel strong, capable, and connected again.”
You’re in the right place.

This is intentionally small. Intimate. Hands-on.
You will not be lost in a crowd.
🌿 Wildcrafting by the Season
Each day begins with a ceremonial smudge to help us center and ground before we begin.
We’ll start every workshop with a foraging walk, identifying the plants and mushrooms in season, observing them at different stages of growth, discussing the ideal time to harvest, and choosing the most effective medicinal preparations based on their unique constituents. We'll ethically harvest our own herbs to create medicine with.
We’ll cover small-scale growing of essential herbs for New England practitioners, including:
Catnip
Sage
Calendula
Basil
Marshmallow
Chamomile
St. John’s Wort
Holy Basil
Cayenne
Ginger
We will be planting and growing in a practice garden on-site, so you will get firsthand experiential guidance from a professional herb grower. You don’t need a farm at home. A backyard or small garden is enough. You’ll learn how to grow what you’ll actually work with in your practice.
This is where most people freeze. Not here.
You will learn how to confidently make:
Infused oils
Teas
Tinctures
Herbal honeys
Capsules
And more
More importantly — you’ll learn when to use which preparation and why.
No fluff. No vague “this herb is good for everything” nonsense.
You’ll understand application.
You'll also get the chance to taste some wild plants and learn some simple dishes to make for dinner.
We’ll cover a general overview of organ systems and how to apply herbalism and nutritional support in a grounded, practical way.
Because herbs don’t work in isolation — they work in context.
You’ll begin thinking like an herbalist.

This is not a weekend workshop.
It’s a guided transformation.
Most class days will close with a 30-minute Sound Healing Bath led by location host Nadean Brousseau.
Because knowledge integrates deeper when your nervous system is regulated.
You’ll leave grounded. Clear. Open.
This is for the woman who:
Is tired of feeling dependent on modern medicine alone
Is ready to learn a more sustainable lifestyle
Wants confidence — not more information overload
Feels called to something deeper, more ancestral, more embodied
Wants to reclaim her competence
This is not about becoming trendy.
This is about becoming capable.
(I'll still let you in if you're a great guy!)
Because herbalism has become either overly romanticized or overly clinical.
I teach the middle path:
Practical
Bioregional
Rooted in experience
Clear
Effective
You will leave knowing how to:
Harvest safely
Grow strategically
Make medicine safely and confidently
Support your family wisely
And most importantly — trust yourself.
