Your Monthly Deep Dive into the Vast World of Herbal Medicine
Learning to heal yourself (and others) using herbal medicine is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself... But the leap from basic knowledge of various plants to feeling confident enough to actually utilize those plants effectively might as well span the Grand Canyon.
My students kept saying as they left rapid-fire plant walks or after seeing my posts online, "I had so much fun buuuut I don't feel confident taking anything that I learned and really using it."
I heard you saying that there is a massive gap from first learning about a plant to utilizing it when you are in need.
I GET IT. AND I CAN HELP.
Hi! My name is Cameron Strouss...

My passion is in distilling my knowledge experience with herbal medicine in a way that is easy to understand and implement.
And I'm a firm believer that one of the best ways to truly become proficient at using herbal medicine is to deep dive into it, one plant at a time.
The kind of confidence and knowledge needed effectively use herbal medicine as your primary means of care requires a deep dive into each plant and visceral experience+working knowledge of that plant.

This program is the culmination of years of working with clients, ingesting and making. medicines, and doing extensive research in the phytopharmacology and pharmacokinetics of herbal medicines and making all of that information as accessible as possible for YOU.

I'm here to help you gain competency quickly by deepening your relationship with herbalism one plant at a time.

REVIEWS
"QUALITY information that helped me reframe the way I think about my body, the potential of the plants around me, and gave me the tools to help deepen my relationship and understanding of the land."
"No one could have
known that today we'd be sitting in the
middle of a pandemic that has so many looking
to natural protectants and remedies.
I'm grateful for the knowledge I gained from Cameron,
a highly knowledgeable and experienced herbalist,
who has extensive hands on clinical experience.
The base knowledge I gained helps me to cut through
all the information that so many fly by night
herbalists are posting
because they read a few books."
"Cameron is
amazingly knowledgeable
and relatable. I felt like I could
ask any question and she would
have a genuine and
informed response."
"Cameron deftly adjusted her firehose of knowledge down to a drip when needed and up to a stream when we were ready for more.
Whether an individual brought a tea cup or a 5 gallon bucket to fill with new facts, each one of us left full to the brim and running over."
"I could not soak up enough of Cameron's wealth of knowledge and experience.
I hope to carry on her humble, understanding, realistic and approach to herbal medicine."
"I wish we were best friends! I resonated deeply with Cameron and feel she's exactly the kind of person I want to learn from...
Will be looking into her other courses! "
