Academy
Kerri Bailey, BS CH
I have been working with Herbs and studying Botany since my late teens, (over 40 years) while attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Since graduating in 1992 with a BS in Biology I continued my studies in Herbal Medicine and Horticulture. In 1998-1999 I attended a Herbal Certification Course at Highline Community College, studying under Ayuvedic Herbalist Karta Parkh Singh Khalsa.
For 8 years (2010 - 2017) I was Staff Herbalist at Ubi's-Ubiquitous Journey aka Ubi's cafe-an Herb, Tea & Spice Shop in Tacoma, WA. I gained tremendous amount of experience creating custom blends for clients and developing my line of supplements, teas & tinctures.
I started teaching in the late 1990's at Plant Nurseries, Community Centers and through Free University. In 2017 I began teaching at Pierce College, then added Highline, Centralia and SPSCC Community Colleges. These classes are the bases of many of Herbal Elements Classes.
In 2024 I launched the first year of Herbalist Certificate Program at Pierce College and in the fall of 2026 we will start a new session with reworked classes- 9 Modules. This will also be available online summer of 2026. My ultimate plan is to eventually have the Certification Program and other classes & workshops at a physical location.I hope to be your "herbal educator catalyst".
