Careers
The Herbalist Profession
No culture, ancient or modern, did not use plants as part of their natural way of life.
The herbalist way comes to us from a long lineage of responsible healing practices. Today’s herbalists are self-employed, operating their own companies, producing herbal products, growing herbs for sale to customers, owning retail stores, or educating the general public. Teaching positions are abundant through college and school continuing education programs.
Suppose you are enthusiastic about working with plants and would like to learn more about plants’ transformative power and how to use them to enrich your life and share this leading-edge information with others. In that case, the Visionary Herbalism Diploma Course is for you.
Our herbalism courses and herbal mentorships are recognized by the Ontario Herbalists Association (OHA). The OHA standards are recognized throughout North America. Graduates of the Visionary Herbalism diploma program are eligible for professional membership in the OHA and use the Registered Herbalist (RH) designation as long as they remain good-standing members.
Discover how to teach and empower others to experience lasting health, make a soulful connection with nature, and be of service to humanity and the Earth through our group and individual one-on-one sessions.
Imagine … making a living doing what you love while supporting others and the planet.

A Growing Need
The workplace is inundated with natural health and herbal practitioners. Much of what is taught in the herbal field replicates the ‘medical model.’ The focus is on treatment rather than the cause. Products and supplements abound, and people’s medicine cabinets are now filled with ‘wholistic pills.’ The results are often temporary.
The Visionary Herbalism course takes you back to the source of herbal healing, where lifestyle practices were as crucial as the herb taken for medicinal use. Through plant identification, nutrition, gardening, self-attunement practices and reconnection with the Elements, you will be given a wholistic model of herbal education that brings lasting results.
Visionary Herbalism is an innovative process that facilitates the well-being and deep ecology issues needed in this modern world. Herbalism is a natural preventative system with a lineage of thousands of years.
Creating a Fulfilling Career
Upon completing the Visionary Course, you will be eligible to create an Herbal Educator career. Assessing the emergent popularity of the natural healing arts, a Herbalist career is rewarding and fulfilling, knowing you are making a difference.
The Visionary Herbalism principles can be taught and applied through workshops in schools and colleges, ecology centers and professional institutions that incorporate innovative processes to educate their staff and employees about preventive health and well-being.
Opportunity Potentials
Choosing a career as a Visionary Herbal Educator will open doors of opportunities in various environmental-centred educational centers. Or you may desire the scheduling flexibility that being a private herbal educator can give you. Either way, life as a Herbal Educator enables you to experience continual growth for yourself and enjoy the noble opportunity of serving others.
