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."

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 say enough about how great this course was for me. From the explanations of how cold and flu viruses work to the body's response and symptoms to what herbs will work and how to prepare and work with the appropriate plants - this course is so encompassing and complete. I know I will watch this course again as I continue my herbal education, because I know I missed things and I definitely want all this resource. Thank you for creating such a wonderful course!

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.

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.

Zero-Risk Return Policy

Teaching isn't just about conveying information - there's also an aspect of being someone's "cup of tea".

So we want you to take the first 14 days to really decide if you love it or not. If for any reason you feel like this program isn’t right for you - if we're just not your cup of tea - we’ll give you a full refund. You don't even need a reason - just please let us know within 14 days of purchase.
