    The Herbal Alchemy class with Cicely was amazing. It was very interactive and hands-on since day one. I learned how to study plants, create my own materia medica, and formulate herbal medicinal preparations for myself and my clientele. As a nurse practitioner, this class was a very influential and gave me useable skill and knowledge I can add to my practice. I’m so inspired by the endless possibilities of herbal medicine. I know I’ll be able to help so many people, as well as myself. Since the class Cicely has remained a mentor and support. She is an open book of knowledge and has already helped so much as I embark on my herbal medicine journey. Thanks to Cicely and the Herbal Alchemy class, I’m very excited for the future.

    Herbalism class was very inspiring and insightful. The textbook was easy to follow with such a great instructor. The class's resource information should always be at your fingertips for its wealth of information on herbs spanning the globe - and in your backyard! This class will help you with creativity and expansion of yourself to grow and to be grounded in the things that benefit us all collectively - our health.

    Cicely did a fantastic job teaching this class in a way that everyone could understand. She was also flexible with scheduling which made taking this class so easy for me being a mom of three! I’ve had plants in my life since I was young and gardening with my grandmother and Cicely helped me fill in the gaps in knowledge that I didn’t even know I had. I learned that herbs can do way more than just make your yard look nice! I can’t wait to be able to continue my learning and take her advanced classes!
