These beautiful courses consistently, yet gently, remind me that there is always so much more to learn when it comes to herbal medicine.

I've been working with and growing herbs my whole life including four years working on an herb farm. I have a master's degree in Chinese medicine and have spent nine years in clinical practice and in herbal medicine teaching roles. Even with that depth of experience, I'm learning so much!

You've all done a wonderful job putting these courses together! They are impeccably organized, offering information useful to both the absolute beginner and the seasoned herbalist. More than anything, on a personal level, I so deeply appreciate the amazing images and photography. That in and of itself is inspiring to go deeper into this medicine.

These courses uniquely reinforce personal creativity, building relationships with the plants, and remembering the web of connection we are all a part of. The love, experience, professionalism, and effort you have all put into the creation of these programs really shines through. Thank you all for doing what you do!

If I could give this course 10 stars, I would. It is obvious that this school was years in the making: the content is incredible, the pictures and videos are amazing, and the activities are wonderful at turning the information into action. If you are interested at all in using or growing plants medicinally, or making your own herbal remedies, this school is a must!

Thank you so much for this life-changing course and all of the guidance, support and assistance on my journey from herbal dabbling to full-on proper herbal medicine making and internal/external body care! I love and appreciate you so much for the nurturing nature of this course and cannot say enough good things about it. 

I am so happy I found your course... tip top quality with a stress on learning and practicing. The assignments made me go out, scrutinize, study, and open my eyes to the hidden world deep within plants and flowers. I felt like a person, not just a number. Someone responded quickly to my questions in a friendly and personal manner. This course is amazing!

If you could only take ONE herbalism course ever, you should take this one. Juliet and team make the learning accessible and fun, and you will gain knowledge that will enrich your life.

You most certainly will learn a lot about herbs but what I equally appreciated was how obvious it was that the production of this course, in a professional and beautiful way, was important to its creators and that they aimed to give extraordinary value for our dollars spent. The staff really cared that we would learn about the subject matter and achieve something precious by the end. The manual was gorgeous, the videos were well done, the staff support was awesome, the FB forum was positive and perfect. I’m definitely taking another class!

It was/is such a lovely course that really fills in the holes of what other schools teach. I had a swiss cheese herbalism foundation and now I'm a cheddar!

Thank you.

I am so grateful I stumbled upon your teachings. I could never imagine I'd find all this information in one place, written with so much love and attention to detail. This has to be one of the most important lessons I have ever received, thank you so much! I now feel much more confident in my medicine-making abilities.

Being in this school has been an amazingly beautiful experience! I've learned so much and am looking forward to all there's yet to learn throughout the years of my life studying plants and earth-ways. You all are such great teachers and I feel honored to have sat at the virtual-feet of many Chestnut instructors.

I started with the Herbal Medicine Making Course that the Chestnut School offers and I felt connected to a classroom even though we all had virtual seats. The video instruction is clear and fun to follow. The printed materials are thorough in instruction and generous in content. The online support group is very active and Juliet is responsive to questions.

I recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn about practical herbal use at home and can't get to a live and local teacher.

I have to admit that I have learned more about foraging in this course than the rest of my life up until now. I am absolutely amazed at the level of dedication the staff has to help students learn and grow in whichever path of herbal studies they have chosen. I highly recommend them to anyone wishing to learn more about our plant allies.

Keep up the good work! I'm delighted I took this course!

It's fun and covers a lot of ground. My biggest takeaway is a newfound appreciation for plants. I feel like a whole new world has opened! I am a more confident forager and have a deeper connection with plants. I look out for them wherever I go and recognize plants not even on the foraging list, because I'm simply paying attention.

I learned so much more than I expected. Mostly it's been a shift in perspective and the way that I look at the world. There is so much abundance! Thank you!

I have truly learned a lot so far - even about the topics that I thought were going to be very simple, like preparing infusions and tinctures. I've found answers to some of my questions that I had a hard time clarifying before, like how do we know which herb is best in form of tincture, infusion or decoction and why. There's so much valuable and practical information. I also like the format of the course.

First of all, it's beautifully done and visually pleasing, which keeps me excited. Second of all, I like that it can be viewed electronically or can be printed out and made into booklets. I personally prefer reading from books rather than from a screen whereas I am sure there are others who don't mind or prefer to view their lesson electronically, whether it's via their laptop, phone or iPad. I also love the videos. It makes it a lot easier to grasp and absorb the information on some topics like botany.

I also love the spirit of the entire course: Juliet and the rest of the staff, and the students, the ability to connect with each other on the student group and learn from each other at all times. I know I can always count on the team for any questions! I haven't felt that way before in previous herbal studies programs.

I can’t tell you how blown away I am. It’s such a gift to feel connected to a community of healers, and I feel like I am receiving guided, individual instruction with each lesson. Although the lessons are fun and funny, each time I am left with a deep respect for Juliet and Asia, and the wisdom they are passing on. Thank you so much for creating such a gift for the herbal community and aspiring herbalists like me.

I have completed the Herbal Medicine Making Course. I am now taking the Herbal Immersion. Each class is a life and game changer. Definitely well worth the money and time. Wonderful teachers and tons of herbal information!

LOVE, love, love this course. I was curious about how I could utilize plants that I knew through my years of teaching environmental education, and make teas, medicines or food. Having this knowledge is beneficial in my personal life as well as my professional life. I had always dreamed of leading wild edibles hikes at my nature center where I work, and now I can!

I have gained an even greater appreciation for plants (I didn't think that was even possible) and all of their uses. I have found an amazing herbalism community that I ADORE!! I am passionate about teaching what I've learned to others and sharing my tinctures and teas with friends and family. I cannot say enough great things about this school and their courses. I have learned so much and have become so passionate about the art of making herbal medicine and foraging plants.

I've taken many different online herbal courses and this is by far my favorite! It is stunning, gorgeous, fun and very informative. The videos are fun, the manual is stunning, and I really enjoy the progress aspect and review worksheets and quizzes.

I was worried it was a little too basic for where I am at in my studies, but it turns out I'm filling in a lot of critical holes in my knowledge base. I'm in love with this course and am having a fabulous time studying with it.

Juliet has genuinely created the single most comprehensive, clear, and aesthetically beautiful course available in the English speaking world today.

The Immersion offers so much more than you think you're going to get. Not only will you learn about these amazing plants and how to grow them, you will also learn about the human body and how herbs affect each system—and not in a general way.

These courses teach you how to understand plants in various preparations and how each type of preparation will extract different properties of the plants.

You will no longer be doing a web search on remedies for various ailments, because in the Herbal Immersion Program, you are given such tailored and focused instruction that not only includes information, but wisdom on how to apply all of this knowledge. They teach you both the science and the art of herbalism. A student can go as deep as they want with all these tools provided. I cannot express enough gratitude for this course.

Can't tell you how much I love this program. It's informative and witty which makes it fun to read through, and I absolutely love the photography. I am a picture person so the more pictures, the more I absorb! It's easy to access, responsive and skill-building. Thank you so much!

This course far surpassed my expectations. It kindled a deeper connection to herbs and fed my passion for organic gardening, permaculture, homemade herbal remedies and body care, and health-supporting life practices. It helped me begin to envision ways in which I might bring herbalism to others in my community and launched me further on this life-enhancing path of herbal learning.

I am so grateful for the quality and thoroughness of this program, as well as the affirming and nurturing support that I felt from the staff. Each module was inspiring and relevant, and I found myself circling back to the material throughout the course.

The Chestnut School instructors were top-notch, and the guest teachers were fabulous as well. I learned so much in this course, and equally importantly, it pointed me in the direction of further learning opportunities all along the way. As an educator, I was impressed with the organization, in-depth and engaging material, and creativity that made this such an effective adult-learning course. Thank you for a truly life-changing and enriching program!

This was an in-depth course presented in a way that’s easy to understand with humor, and great knowledge.
