Advanced Home Herbalist Course
10 Month Online Course- with Certificate from Sheep Hill Herbs, Jenel Schaffer Master Herbalist, Master Herbalist
Empowering Families Through the Art of Herbalism:
Herbalism is an ancient practice of using plants for nourishment, balance, and natural healing- a partnership between people and the living world around them. For thousands of years, herbs have supported families in maintaining wellness, easing discomforts, and strengthening the body's own ability to heal.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in herbal study, formulation, and traditional healing, I've seen how powerful- and simple- herbal wisdom can be when it's brought back to the home. That's why I've created a course designed especially for mothers, grandmothers and wise women, to help you feel confident caring for yourself and your loved ones using safe, effective, time-honored herbal methods.
In this training, you'll learn how to:
*Understand herbs and their uses for everyday health
*Build a natural home apothecary
*Support your family through common ailments gently and wisely
*Reconnect with the healing gifts God placed in creation.
This course is about empowerment and peace of mind- giving you the tools and knowledge to care for your family naturally, right from your own kitchen.
The course is available in my ETSY SHOP. Upon purchase, you will be able to download the course document immediately. Sometime within the next day, I will add you to my Advanced Home Herbalist Facebook group and welcome you to the course. The course is designed to be completed in 10-12 months, with the lessons broken down into one-month segments. All assignments are emailed to me for grading, and feedback. At the end of the 10 months, you will be awarded a certificate of completion for 100 study hours, as a Home Herbalist. Please note the breakdown of the topics covered in each of the months below.

REVIEWS
I just finished the work for my Advanced Home Herbalist class with Sheep Hill Herbs.
I am so grateful for the time and energy Jenel has invested in me. Her assignments were challenging, but well-explained. I loved that there was so much hands on activity required. She answered all of my questions graciously.
If you're interested in herbs, check out her page and her youtube channel - Sheep Hill Herbs.

"Jenel has over 20 years of experience working with herbs. She is always willing to share her knowledge. She has helped me in so many ways."
-B. Lloyd
"I want to share my experience with Sheep Hill Herbs and Jenel, What a wonderful gift we have in both.
Jenel is well versed in all things herbal and spiritual, healing and goodness - I feel very fortunate to have a mentor, teacher, expert in the entirety of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness to turn to when I need guidance or wisdom.
I highly recommend spending time with Jenel and her gift of healing, when we make the connection to her she can help on our journey to health and a higher understanding of plants and spiritual connection. Jenel and her Shop/practice are pure and kind and honestly connected to the spirit of our plants, ancestors and higher power. I could not recommend her more."
