Herbs
I finally finished my Introduction to Herbology course!! I started it at the beginning of the summer, took a long break to focus on working at the farmer’s market, and just now sent in my final exam and project. Yay! I am studying Natural Health at Clayton College of Natural Health. I started 2 years ago, and I have been moving pretty slowly through each class. With the new change in my life from full-time employee to stay at home mom, I plan to give more focus to my studies than I have in the past.
I learned quite a bit from this class about herbs and ways to use them. There is so much to remember and learn about each individual herb, I am glad I have these two wonderful books to reference in time of need. The books for the course are The Way of the Herbs and New Age Herbalist.
I just ordered my books and study guide for my next class, Introduction to Homeopathy. I have a vague idea of what homeopathy is, so this class should be pretty interesting.
Not sure what I will do with this degree when I finish, but I will at least learn how to keep my family naturally healthy. Hopefully I will gain enough knowledge to teach others.

Hey! I am really started to get interested in herbalism and was actually wondering if there were any courses in the area! Now I know!! I’m also going to start studying Nursing so I can become a midwife. It’s all so exciting and, honestly, something I had never considered before. I think I will look into this herbology class. Hope all is well with you!
Kim! That is awesome! I had no idea you had an interest in Midwifery. Where will you go to school? What kind of Midwife do you want to be?? If you ever want to work with an amazing homebirth CNM, let me know! Penny Lane is THE BEST. I’m actually going to start working with my Midwife in the fall as a Birth Attendant. I am getting pretty excited about it. I’m also working towards becoming a Doula. Right now I’m reading the required books for the DONA certification.
As for the Herb course, I guess that school I was taking the classes with closed. I’m not really sure what’s going on. Anyway, those 2 books I mentioned are a great start to learning. They are also nice to have around for when an ailment arises and you can’t remember which herbs to use for the situation.
You’ll have to keep me updated on your schooling! I am really happy for you!
