I got SO much out of this course! These two have such an incredible way of bringing information to you in such a way that it is easy to comprehend and make sense of. This course was way more in-depth then I anticipated, and you really cover the whole system, can't recommend it enough! (ps. the rosehip jam...new fridge staple!!) I look forward to taking more courses from them.

The best herb school online!

"I researched different online herbalism courses for about two months and am so glad I found you two. There is so much more than just the material to this course. Because you teach everything in videos, and then with the live Q&A sessions every week, I feel like this is more of an in-person experience than an online course and I love that."

This is no ordinary online course...

In addition to the videos, we provide features to accommodate all the different ways people like to learn, so you can internalize the information easily!

  • Lifetime access - so you can review the content as many times as you like, forever!

  • Weekly live Q&A sessions with Katja and Ryn- to ask your questions directly, live and in person! (They're even archived, in case you miss one!)

  • Ask questions anytime - we're always just a click away: you can ask any questions in the integrated discussion forum, and we're committed to personally answering your questions, usually within 24 hours

  • Printable PDF materials - if you like to follow the videos along on paper, or keep them handy for a quick reference

  • Downloadable MP3 files - so you can review the content while you commute, workout, garden, ... anytime!

  • No-risk money back guarantee - no questions asked!

Your Teachers

Two heads are better than one!


Katja & Ryn
Katja & Ryn

Katja & Ryn almost always teach together. They each have particular talents and areas of interest, and their perspectives on certain issues are quite different! Together, they convey a fuller picture of the realities of herbal theory & practice than either one could do alone.

Katja is an herbalist and teacher working to help people rebuild their relationships with their bodies and their own ability to heal. She’s been in practice for nearly 20 years, but it all began with a desire to make her own “fancy tea” at home instead of paying high prices for imported blends at specialty stores. She’s kept that do-it-yourself ethic close to her heart.

Ryn has been a practicing herbalist since 2010. He came to herbalism by way of martial arts, where his first experiences with herbs were focused on getting back into the game and becoming more flexible, adaptable, and resilient. Passing that experience on to others is what keeps him motivated every day.

Together, Katja and Ryn teach everyone from children to elders, as well as pharmacy students from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Northeastern University School of Pharmacy, where they both serve as associate faculty. Ryn and Katja are the authors of Herbal Medicine for Beginners, and the creators of the weekly Holistic Herbalism Podcast.

I love the conversational format of this course! Educational with clear explanations and practical, real-life applications. Definitely more exciting and fun than just reading from a textbook. Not that I want to get sick, but I almost can't wait for my next runny nose! ;) Thank you both!!

I cannot believe the ridiculously awesome amount of information that was included in this class. Ryn and Katja are fun to listen to -- they're my kind of people (a little goofy, a little nerdy). But what really shines is how much herbal goodness is talked about, thoroughly. Some science, for those who want it, but mostly practical, hands-on info to keep your family healthy and your winter a little less yucky.

The practical information about cold/flu illnesses and how to cope with their symptoms was absolutely invaluable. It enabled me to care for myself and my partner. What an incredible value!
