Next online course starts on the 15th November 2023.
We combine our passion in empowering people to get to know more about their bodies and menstrual cycles, with years of clinical herbal practise.
This course will look at the menstrual cycle, tools for charting hormonal health, radical understandings of what gets called female anatomy, herbs for gynaecological health and related herbs for common related health conditions. We are really conscious that this information is important and relevant, regardless of gender, sexuality or age.
The format of the course consists of a series of videos we send you each week covering the topics below. It is a series of short videos to make then easy to watch. For week 4 there will an extra medicine making video where we teach you how to make a herbal mineral tonic.
So each week we send you the videos but the course is self-paced and you get to keep all the videos. You can send your questions to us via email and we will answer them during the course.
