WELCOME, PLANT LOVER
Imagine waking up and knowing exactly how to tend yourself.
You're fluent in the language your body has always been speaking.
Fluent in the patterns the plants have always been offering.
Fluent in the living intelligence of the earth that you see mirrored in every aspect of your being — your digestion, your nervous system, your energy, your creativity.
You pour a nourishing herbal infusion you've crafted for your own body, your own rhythm, your own season.
You move through your days with an earth-connected,
plant-guided intelligence.
Your body is supported. Your creativity is alive.
Your intuition is clear.
Forest walks feel like reunions. Gardens feel like conversations. Herbs feel like kin.
Life feels deeply alive, you feel confident in your body, and herbalism feels like something that you live.
🌿
This is what becomes possible inside
Living Herbalism Academy.
HERE'S THE THING...
You know you're meant to live a life connected to the plants.
You feel it in your bones... that ancestral pull toward soil, plants and the living wisdom your grandmother's grandmother may have once carried.
But here you are in the modern world.
Hustle culture. Too much screen time.
A nervous system stretched thin.
Days that dull your senses and disconnect you from your body, your creativity, your intuition, your purpose.
Maybe you've already begun walking the plant path. You've read the books, listened to podcasts, taken a class or two.
But you want more. More depth.
More structure. A more embodied, living relationship with the plants and their wisdom.
You want to learn herbalism in a way that is practical and tangible, yet filled with magic and spirit.​
🌿 You want to actually cultivate relationship with the plants, not memorize facts
​
🌿 You want science and sparkle, herbal actions and altar space, practical tools and whimsical practices
​
🌿 You want to feel confident on your herbalism path
​
🌿 You want community that walks this path beside you
​
🌿 You want your herbal knowledge to be a living resource... for you, your loved ones and your lineage
That's exactly what happens inside
Living Herbalism Academy.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You are a devoted student
of the living world.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST STUDENTS
What people are saying
"
I absolutely loved [LHA].
It was a great foundation for beginners like myself, and Amma is an enlightening instructor. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about the world of plants.
SALLY - REGISTERED NURSE
"
This truly set the foundation for how I still connect with and learn from the plants today. I feel a bit ahead of the curve among my [clinical herbalism program] classmates because of it!
DOMINIQUE - HERBALIST
"
As a folk herbalist and student to the plants for 5 years, I was still able to get so much out of this container. The space is held beautifully — Amma's got something for everyone.
ANTONIA - FOLK HERBALIST & DOULA
MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I'm Amma!
My herbal studies began in an intensive clinical herbalism program, and my love for the science and the craft has only deepened since then. I love to get nerdy with it (and we absolutely will inside this program).
​
And yet... as my personal journey with plant medicines has evolved, I've found that intuitive plant learning, direct experience and embodied earth connection are just as essential as the practical knowledge.
​
The Earth is alive and animate, and we are part of that web. When we seek to reweave ourselves into it, we find ourselves connected to a wellspring of wisdom, wellbeing and purpose.
​
Plants have become my number one guides for health, wisdom, magic and purpose. And guess what? They can be yours too.
​
Living Herbalism Academy is the place I've built to help you lay that foundation. Practical education. Applicable skills. Embodied practice. With a generous dash of magic 🌿
