Herbalist Mentorship Program
Herbalists in Training Mentorship program is designed for students to experience a “hands on approach” helping you learn at a more accelerated rate. Your time working as an Herbalist Intern either in person or long distance / online may help you pay for portions of your program and/or herbs & herbal supplies.
There are two levels, the first-
Herbal Aide- is a beginner emissary role. After perfecting this level you can then pass to the second level- Herbal Intern.
There is also a final level- Herbal Protégé for those that have completed (or near completion) the program and want to help build Herbal Elements Academy leading to paid herbalist positions.

Who are NOT Herbalists
Just because you have read a few books, and have an interest in herbs, that does not make you an "Herbalist"
Making some great lip balm or other personal care product does not make you an "Herbalist"
An expert in essential oils or other MLM herbal supplement company sales rep does not make you an "Herbalist"
Bloggers, Products Makers and others that want to be considered experts -
"a little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous"
That is why education as well as self study and actual experience working with herbs is so important. The internet is a wealth of really good and some really bad dis-information. Experience guidance from a mentor.
