“I want to make healing simple. No more mystery capsules and syrups. I want to taste the real thing -- without breaking the bank or losing my mind."

Any of these describe your current situation?

• You're tired of that chemical taste or those harsh pill burbs after swallowing a fistful of "medicine."  You're ready for new flavors, new techniques, and a more romantic way of being. 

• You want to be a "wise woman," or just the sort of person who can hear about an ailment and know exactly what to reach for. You want to be the go-to source for herbal remedies that actually work.

• You can't keep spending all of your money on plastic synthetics that just move the symptoms around rather than address the root cause. You're ready for a new way of healing, living, and eating -- a new perspective even. 

• You want to dip your toe into herbal medicine without having to drop $200 or more on herbs you don't know. You're craving something simple, easily accessible, and just as good.

Western Herbalism

During this webinar, we'll cover the basics of Western Herbalism, including: 

• A basic plant monograph, or biography, of each kitchen herb
• An introduction to herbal actions (or the special vocabulary that defines what each plant does; e.g., alterative, expectorant, etc.) 
• The tastes of each herb and what that indicates for holistic health; e.g., pungent, sweet, bitter, etc.

When To Use, or Not to Use

Even though our kitchens might be filled with herbs & spices, or we have recipes we prefer, there are still reasons why you should, or should not, use a specific plant medicine. That is why we'll cover:

• Specific indications for each kitchen herb, ranging from indigestion and poor memory to sinus congestion and even congealed blood 
• Why you might want to work with a specific plant medicine, whether that's to increase sperm production, process trauma, or simply calm your nerves 
• Why you should not use a specific plant medicine based on chronic symptoms or challenges you're currently facing that could be exacerbated by certain kitchen herbs

Meet your teacher

Hi, I'm Amber 

I'm a Louisiana native determined to help people heal themselves. You might already be familiar with my newsletter, which helps individuals detach from Big Pharma and reconnect with Nature in 10 days, or maybe you've come across my work with bees and structured water.

But I've been mastering the art of herbalism for the past decade, gaining certification in holistic herbalism through The School of the Sacred Wild, studying with Matthew Wood, and even apprenticing with Ariella Daly in bee medicine. I'm also Circadian Certified through the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology and was mentored by Carrie Bennett as a quantum health clinician. 

Self-Care Kitchen is my response to the idea that food is medicine. As someone born and raised in Cajun Country, our kitchen was the center of activity in our home; yet the foods we were eating were anything but healing. Still, it wasn't until my father had an operation on his heart that my mother changed the pattern and started to think differently. She's the reason this course exists to day -- because she was smart enough to recognize that the foods we consume can either heal us or destroy our health.

Now, some twenty years later, I'm here to show you what I've learned and how you can incorporate the Kitchen Herbs into your lifestyle in a way that is not only healing but also easy, accessible, and delicious. 

Because I believe in the body's ability to heal...

And I know that if you're given the right tools, you can heal yourself. Now, that's a tricky word in legal circles, so please note that I'm not saying cure. Healing is bigger than that. Healing is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and even energetic. 

So, yes, we're going to cover the healing abilities of ten herbs, their traditional applications, and how you can use them to your advantage -- but know that you consume herbs at your own risk. And even though I'll explain reasons to be cautious, in the end, you are your own master and responsible for your own well-being.

Accepting that fact is the first step towards reclaiming your sovereignty as a human being. It's something our ancestors knew, and it's something our families enjoyed as early as a hundred years ago. Now I'm trying to bring it back, one cup of tea at a time. 

So let's gather our kitchen herbs and brew a new future for ourselves, even if it's only to reclaim our voice.
