  • This short course is a way to see a bit of my teaching style. You can also visit my free herbal education Facebook group, Practical Herbs with Heidi

Full Disclosure: The course material found here is a very tiny portion of the more comprehensive course, The Confident Herbalist: A Guide to Family Home Herbalism. This material is also a very tiny portion of the content found for Confident Tribe members as well.

Herbal Formulation Basics (101) includes these features:

  • 3 videos with instruction and recipes you can use immediately
  • 12 lessons
  • (TBD) recipes and remedies between the videos, lessons, and eBooks included. At this time, I am still adding recipes, but you will have at least 10 recipes with explanations about how the herbal actions work.
  • Downloadable PDF's and written information
  • Lifetime access to the course as long as it is for sale in this manner, as well as all the updates and upgrades I'll be adding
  • and lots more!

I'm going to be honest:

This course is probably not for you if you have a lot of experience using herbs in your daily life. This is a course for very brand new beginners who know absolutely nothing about using herbs through early intermediate level herbalists.

NOTE: The testimonials below are all for my large course, The Confident Herbalist....but you will get an idea of what you can learn!

I am so happy to have found The Confident Herbalist: A Guide to Home Herbalism course! It contains an extremely thorough curriculum that addresses everything I have wanted to learn! As an Aromatherapist I am very excited to learn how I can incorporate herbs into my essential oil practice as well as for my family! This course is a gold mine of information containing everything from teas and tinctures, to herbal powders and infusions! A must have for anyone wanting to learn more about natural health care. Thank you so much Heidi for sharing your knowledge! ---Meghan Nowlin

"For my generation, all we’ve likely ever known is the allopathic method of healthcare: take a pill to mask the symptoms, probably without actually HEALING your body. I’ve been struggling for over two years with an uncommon form of colitis that a doctor literally told me she had no idea what causes it….I was beyond frustrated!!

This lead me on a journey to find another form of care. Natural healing. I had no knowledge whatsoever about this topic, but I knew someone out there had to! However, I was afraid of this form of self care, afraid I would poison myself and honestly, I didn’t believe it would work. But I was tired of dealing with all the clinics and medications that just weren’t working.

That’s where The Confident Herbalist course came in. Heidi’s beginner course is a plethora of information that was not overwhelming and was broken down in a common sense way that just clicked for me. My kitchen is no longer just for cooking, it’s a home apothecary where I create everything from simple teas and tisanes to cold and flu remedies!

I literally started with no knowledge, no supplies, nothing, but this course opened up a whole new world to me and I’ll forever be grateful! I’m currently using all natural ways to help heal all sorts of common ailments around the home (spoiler alert: THEY WORK!) and I couldn’t be happier.

I feel empowered because I’m taking control of my health and I know exactly what’s going into my body. I can’t wait to learn more! I highly recommend this course to anyone who is even curious about natural healing and using the plants God put on this earth for our benefit." ----Haley W. Crane

"I love this course! The Confident Herbalist is as good as online courses come. Heidi takes students through all you need to know to start using herbs in your life and for your family confidently. She takes the guesswork out of whether or not herbs are safe, and how to use them effectively. She covers every different preparation you can imagine (and some you haven't ever heard of) and puts the tools into your hands that you need to use herbs powerfully for your ailments and issues. As if that wasn't enough, Heidi includes bonus modules to help you build an herbal first aid kit, use aromatherapy in your herbal practice, and how to use herbs in the kitchen to promote wellness...AND there are bonus eBooks too! This course is well worth the price to be able to use all of these materials and lay your fears to rest about using herbs." ---Kristi Stone, Stone Family Farmstead

"My husband is working towards becoming a clinical herbalist, so we use a LOT of herbs in our life... and yet as I'm going through this course I am finding all sorts of tidbits that I didn't know yet!

I'm loving this course for using herbs to stay above the wellness line.

In fact, we used Heidi's elderberry syrup recipe (included in the course) to stay happy and healthy even through record pollen levels here this spring! Such a blessing!

With 62 lessons, tons of videos, and 4 eBooks in the course, there is a LOT of information to help you get started on your herbal journey. Heidi also has a Facebook group where she is very active and answers questions as they come up. She also has a weekly Live Q&A session in the group to support herbal education.

Seriously, if using herbs for health and wellness has ever been on your "to do" list, you need this course!" ----Victoria P.

I'm so impressed with how deep she goes into each section and I'm so excited to stop worrying about starting to use herbs.

Ever since I learned how to use herbs and natural healing methods to solve my own health issues over 15 years ago, I have been on a path to learn as much as I can about plant medicine and natural health. I'm a certified professional level aromatherapist, clinical/community herbalist, and lover of all things natural living. I invite you to use my years of experience and study, teaching credentials, and ability to encourage others so you can bring the healing powers of the natural world into your own home, garden, and kitchen, for a happier, healthier life.


When I was told by the doctors that nothing could be done to improve my chronic condition, I refused to believe them. That's when I began to learn more about herbs and their uses. I even got a herbalism book that was recommended for a beginner - HA!

I felt so lost. Like someone trapped in a country where no one speaks my language. I was confused, scared and discouraged.

Not long after, I found Heidi's Facebook group - Practical Herbs with Heidi. Her work and the community there gave me back the hope that one day, I might just be able to know what all those fancy words meant and how I could use herbs safely.
Then I enrolled in her course, The Confident Herbalist and guess who it was made for? Me! Or at least, that's how it feels. Heidi takes you by the hand, walks you through all the difficult words and their meaning. She shows you how to make just about everything you can make in herbalism, and several ways to make them. Heidi even takes the scary parts out of formulating your own blends.
I can't wait to see what all the knowledge and confidence I'm gaining from this course will end up doing for my health. ---Pia S.

"I am absolutely loving everything about the course. I love the simplicity in which you present each topic, especially for a beginner like myself who probably would not feel confident enough to even start to dive right in and begin the learning curve. I really enjoy the videos in between the written information that brings a definite refreshing and added treat that makes me want to learn even more. Thank you for your sacrifice of time and genuine care for soo many in pushing forward to get this information into the hands of those of us looking for better and healthier alternatives." ---Debra C.

"After taking The Confident Herbalist: A Guide to Home Herbalism course I feel much more confident with using herbs on myself and my family. This course has a wealth of information without the boring, mundane properties that courses can sometimes have. Heidi presents the material in a way that is easy to understand. She keeps all the information down to earth, and made me feel like it was okay if I messed something up, or it didn't come out quiet the way I had planned (it's all part of the learning process). I also love how she touches base on many different things like making teas, tinctures, and foraging are just a few examples. It lets you get a taste of something, and you can decide if you want to delve further into it or not. This course also encourages you to do your research to really learn about all the different plants and herbs, and not to just take one persons word for it. Thank you Heidi for taking the time to put this course together for beginning herbalists like me and all the future generations to come." ---Jolynn Ward

"This course has given me the confidence to begin using herbs in a way I had never considered before. Heidi brings a wealth of knowledge in such an easy-going way, I couldn't help but learn from her!I am so glad I now have this skill set to add to my Homesteading library. You won't regret giving this course a go!" ---Amanda P.
