SEEDS + SPIRALS

Clinical Practicum (Year 3) 

Welcome to our advanced clinical training program! If you have completed our 2nd year intermediate training (or a similar program elsewhere) and are ready to start putting the pieces together and applying everything that you’ve learned so far, this is your next step.

Seeds + Spirals is an in-person, practical program where we will see real-world clients together as student-clinic. This year we will meet every other Thursday + 1 Friday per month and have an opportunity to sit with 2 clients per day. Students will take turns leading the interview, and we will work as a group to come up with recommendations for each client.

The clinic (aka Wholistic Wellness Council) is open to anyone in our community. It operates by appointment only, and we charge a $25-$45 fee per appointment. We ask that our clients commit to at least 2 follow-ups so that we can receive feedback for our formulas. Read more about how the council operates or schedule an appointment HERE.

Occasionally we will have last minute cancelations, and these times can be used to review material from the previous year, dig deeper into herbs and pathologies, or practice formulation techniques.

In addition to the clients that we see as a class, you will be responsible for seeing 5 on your own outside of class. You will be able to use these hours towards the clinical requirements to become a registered herbalist through the American Herbalist’s Guild.
