If you are interested in:

• herbal and natural medicine for women’s health

• reclaiming women’s wisdom and empowerment

• being part of a thriving women’s herbal learning community
  …then this course is for you!

So many women struggle with personal health issues – physical, mental, and even spiritual – and most are just not finding the answers in the medical world that truly bring healing or that  feel sensible and safe.  You may be familiar with this from your own clinical practice, or even from your own experiences with the health care system. Medical care is sometimes necessary and even lifesaving. But too often it is unnecessarily invasive, and rather than being empowering, becomes a source of disempowerment for women.

 

My mission is to help women flourish. I want women to be as happy and healthy as possible – which requires a whole woman approach. It also requires that we create a new paradigm for women’s health. That is the very approach you will learn in this course: how to look at a broad constellation of contributing factors to help your clients understand their health, themselves, and to THRIVE!

 

Herbal Medicine for Women is an inspiring, engaging, 400-hour WomanWise* Course designed and taught by  Aviva Romm, MD, herbalist, and midwife. This course imparts the academic knowledge and foundational clinical skills needed to become a qualified women’s herbal educator or practitioner. It uniquely integrates traditional herbal wisdom, clinical experience, and critically reviewed botanical and scientific evidence for the prevention and natural treatment of common women’s health concerns. Women’s ways of knowing are honored alongside critical thinking and practical skills.

 

The course emphasizes a whole-woman approach to health. Not only will you learn about herbal medicine, you will learn how to be successful at doing what you love -and perhaps even change the world – for one woman or for many. 

 

This course is undoubtedly the most comprehensive, professional, and sophisticated women’s herbal medicine course in the world, created by one of the most respected women’s herbalists who also happens to be a midwife and a medical doctor. It is also one of the largest and most thriving women’s herbal communities, with students in more than 15 countries and on at least 6 continents!
