Become your own doctor.
Over thirty years of teaching, and course content written for five universities and colleges. I got disheartened with an education system that had stopped delivering the heart and soul of holistic health, so now I teach it my own way.
My two favourite courses
These are the courses I teach personally, here in the Northern Rivers and online.
Home Herbalism Course
A two year course condensed into six weeks. A discovery of the self, of Mother Earth and of her sacred healing gifts, with everything you need to look after your own household.
- 12 modules and 7 intensives
- Herbal history and identification, herbal botany, materia medica
- Herbal phytochemistry and remedy manufacturing
- Two days of hands on manufacturing
- At home remedies for common ailments, plus superherb nutrition
- Over 2000 pages of reference notes
- Access to the Home Herbalism community
Introduction to Iridology
The eyes bring in and they let out. Learn to read what the iris is showing you about the body behind it, and what to do with what you find.
- Reading the iris and what its markings point to
- Nerve innervation and gut health signs
- You are only as strong as your weakest link, so we go looking for the weak links
- Natural cures with nature’s remedies to work on them
- Run in person only, because you need to look through the lens yourself
The face to face days are held here, on the farm in the Northern Rivers.
Home Herbalism on Skool
This is where my teaching lives now. Learn at your own pace, ask questions, and be around people doing the same thing. If there is a course further down this page that you want, tell me and I will put it up there for you within twenty four hours.
I was impressed to find the knowledge that Louise shares in her course to be wider and deeper than I have seen in a long time.
This process allowed me to get a sense of the subtleties that make each herb unique.
Students, Home Herbalism Course

These are courses I have written and run over the years. Rather than leave them sitting on a shelf, tell me which one you want and I will put it up on Skool for you within twenty four hours.

Free herbalism on YouTube
Herbal walks, remedies and honest talks about health and living well. Not all of it is about herbs. A good place to start if you are not sure yet.
I have been a practitioner and lecturer of complementary therapeutics for over thirty years, and I wrote course content for five universities and colleges before I got disheartened with a system that had stopped delivering the heart and soul of holistic health. My mission with these courses is to wake up your birth given right to become your own healer, and to share the awe and wonder that the world of herbs offers for life.
