Classes

Classes & workshops

Over a thousand classes taught, in six countries, in two languages. In person across northern Utah and online anywhere. Every class is education first, which means you can attend, learn something you will actually use, and buy nothing.

Current classes

Herbal Foundations

Six sessions. Infusions, decoctions, tinctures, salves, and how to read a monograph so you can evaluate any plant on your own instead of taking my word for it. This is the one I would take if I were starting over.

The Non-Toxic Home

One evening, room by room. Bring your actual cleaning cupboard. We are going to throw some things away and you are going to feel great about it.

Gluten-Free Beyond Food

Cross contact in supplements, tinctures, capsules, and cosmetics. Shared kitchens. Reading a label when the gluten is hiding in the tocopherol. For newly diagnosed families and for people who have been at this for years and still get glutened.

Aceites Esenciales

Uso seguro, dilucion y aplicacion. Clase completa en espanol. Enseño en español desde hace años, y las traducciones las hago yo, no una máquina.

Private and group classes

Church groups, book clubs, homeschool co-ops, workplace wellness, and family gatherings. I have taught in living rooms, church buildings, community centers, and once memorably in a barn. Tell me your group and your space and we will figure it out.

Body System Solutions Library

The Nutritional Herbalist How Your Body Actually Works A plain-English library organized by body system. What each one is built from, what the research supports, and where the evidence is thinner than people say. This isn't organized by diagnosis, and that's on purpose. I'm not here to tell you what to take for something you've been diagnosed with. That belongs with your doctor. What I can do is explain how a system works and what it's made of, so you can think about your own food with better information. Every entry has a section called What this doesn't show. Read those first if you want to know whether to trust the rest. Search a system or a nutrient This library is organized by how the body works, not by diagnosis. I can't tell you what to take for a diagnosed condition, and I wouldn't want to. That conversation belongs with your physician, who knows your history and your medications. What I can do is help you und...

Where Gluten Hides in Your Herbal Cabinet

Gluten free beyond food You read every food label in the grocery store. You have a dedicated toaster. You still get glutened, and you cannot figure out why. Let me show you the cabinet nobody checks. I have been gluten free since 2008. For the first several years of that I was careful about food and completely careless about everything else, because it never once occurred to me that my supplements were a problem. They were. Here is where gluten hides in an herbal and supplement cabinet, roughly in order of how often it catches people. 1. Capsule fillers and excipients This is the biggest one and the least visible. Capsules need something to hold the powder together and keep it flowing through the machinery. That something is frequently starch, and cheaper supplement lines still use wheat starch or list an unspecified "starch" with no source. Look for: wheat starch, modified food starch with no source named, dextrin, maltodextrin from an unnamed source, and the ...

The Six Essential Oils That Burn

Essential oil safety Six bottles in a standard collection will burn skin at ordinary dilutions. I want you to know which six, and I want to be honest that I taught one of them badly for a while. Let me get the confession out of the way first. Years ago I taught oregano oil the way most people in this community taught it. A drop here, a drop there, applied close to neat because it was strong and strong seemed like the point. I watched someone develop a chemical burn on the bottom of her foot from doing exactly what I described, and I have taught it differently ever since. So. The six. The hot oils Oil Maximum dilution Cassia 0.05% Cinnamon Bark 0.07% Clove 0.5% Thyme (thymol type) 0.5% Oregano 1% Wintergreen 2.4%, and lower is wiser Look at cassia again. Zero point zero five percent. That is not a typo and it is not me being precious. That is roughly one drop in a full ounce of carrier oil. What "hot" actually means These oils are dominated by const...
