Who would you be if you silenced the ‘shoulds’? Plants help you to be you, uninterrupted.
Is 2025 the year you unlock the power of herbs and step into a life filled with purpose and possibility?
Introducing the
⭐️Online Plant Spirit Herbalism Apprenticeship⭐️
Because who wants to spend another 10 years googling and guessing?
Worrying if you’re using the right herbs and struggling to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare. All the while feeling unheard and unseen?
Not you.
Surely, there HAS to be more to life than:
Feeling like an outsider in your own body
Being annoyed by health issues that you can’t seem to manage
Wanting to answer the call to guide others on their journey to wellness, but having no idea where to begin
The soul-crushing experience of trying to stay healthy but not seeing any progress. Despite all your efforts
Struggling to show up and be present for the people in your life (or yourself) because you feel like a zombie half the time.
Hey there!
I see you.
Over the years, I’ve spoken with countless people who would love to work with herbs on their health journey.
At the start of their journey, this is what I hear:
“I have tried Googling herbal remedies, but I’m scared I’ll make a mistake trying it alone”.
or
“I’ve thrown so much money at random supplements, but nothing seems to work.”
Too often, the focus is on herbs for particular symptoms while ignoring the TRUE root causes of health issues.
You might be depressed.
A doctor would probably give you anti-depressants. A traditional herbalist might give you St John’s Wort for your symptoms.
➡️ But what if a hormonal imbalance causes your depression?
➡️ And what if stress causes that hormonal imbalance?
➡️ Which is caused by a difficult home environment?
➡️ Which is caused by your lack of boundaries?
➡️ Which is caused by childhood trauma?
Every health issue has physical, spiritual, emotional and mental aspects…
…and the causes are often deeper than you think.
As a herbalist, I can give you medicine to manage physical symptoms. That’s the easy part.
But…
…if deeper issues go unchecked, health issues will return again and again…
and you will continue to waste money!
That’s where the power of Plant Spirit Herbalism & the four medicines of plants comes in.
Every issue in life has a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspect.
And all plants have physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing properties.
Plant Spirit Herbalism connects you with all of the healing properties of plants.
Not only the physical.
Allowing you to tackle the underlying issues that cause health problems.
For example, the herb Rose soothes the nervous system.
It ALSO supports the healing of feminine wounding and opening to meaningful connections.
Hi, I’m Wendy,
For over two decades, I’ve immersed myself in the world of plants and herbalism.
I trained as a medical herbalist at university. And have helped many people reclaim their health.
Despite this, I often felt something crucial was missing from the healing equation.
This feeling of disconnection led me to the world of Shamanism, and It was like somebody flipped on a light switch.
I had focused so heavily on the physical aspect of healing. But I neglected the spiritual, emotional, and mental elements.
Key components that most conventional health practices overlook.
Recognising the power of Shamanism was my aha moment. It was the missing link for my personal growth and taking my professional practice to a whole new level.
With 20 years of experience in natural medicine. And the added depth of Shamanic wisdom, I’ve guided my clients to incredible results.
And the cornerstone of this shift?
Establishing a profound spiritual connection with plants & plant spirits.
I call this practice Plant Spirit Herbalism and I teach it inside this 8-month, Online Plant Spirit Herbalism Apprenticeship.
Something I believe everyone can achieve.
So then:
How do you finally turn your health journey and healing path from frustration to fulfillment with the wisdom of herbs and plant spirit connection?
1. Start at the roots.
Learn the core of herbal medicine by understanding each herb’s unique qualities—its actions, effects, flavours, and how it interacts with different body systems. This foundation gives you the power to make safe, informed choices. no more guessing and googling!
2. Connect on a deeper level:
Through plant spirit journeys, folk magic practices, and seasonal rituals, you’ll connect with herbs on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. This experience goes beyond basic learning, allowing you to build a lasting relationship with the plants that support your healing journey..
3. Create and apply your knowledge
Practice making your own herbal remedies—from tinctures and creams to syrups and poultices—while learning how to create blends for yourself and others. These skills give you the confidence to make and use herbal remedies in ways that align with your health goals.
4. Transform through understanding
With guidance from experienced mentors, you’ll explore each body system in depth, gaining insight into how stress, emotions, and resilience affect your health. You’ll find areas where change is most needed and develop skills that go beyond the apprenticeship.
You’ll be supported every step of the way- no more bland pre-recorded courses!
4. Community support and accountability
Daily community support and personal guidance help keep you on track, applying what you learn and stay focused on your journey. We offer a space for growth, accountability, and a connection with other plant spirit herbalism seekers.
I’ve guided many clients toward a healthier, happier & deeply connected existence by walking the plant spirit herbalism path
It’s your turn, don’t you think?

With the Actions of Herbs Handbook
Herbal actions refer to how herbs influence your body and mind, including their physical, chemical, and energetic effects.
Simply put, they explain how herbs function within you. This knowledge helps identify which herbs are suitable for specific health conditions.
Examples of herbal actions include:
Anti-inflammatory
Adaptogenic (helps your body cope with stress)
Vulnerary (wound-healing)
A resource full of factual information you can use time & time again.
We’ll be diving deeper into herbal actions each month.
Stay on track with detailed herbal monographs.
Every herbalist worth their salt has a collection of monographs -it’s called a “Materia Medica”, and this is the start of yours.
A herbal monograph is essentially a detailed report about a specific herb. It includes information about the plant’s characteristics, medicinal properties, how to use it safely, and any potential side effects.
Think of it as a comprehensive guide or a profile about a particular herb.
You’ll get 8 detailed monographs that you’ll work with during this program- plus access to a back catalogue of many more!
With these monographs, you can be confident that you’re choosing the right herb for the right thing at the right time.
The course nailed all the basics, and the worksheets and homework were super clear. The extra booklets were a bonus – they had loads of info to play around with and learn more stuff on your own. It wasn’t just about what we learned in class; those books let you dive deeper and do more.

As a student, you don’t have to walk this path alone.
With the small student community, you finally have a place where you belong. Forge new friendships with like-minded herbal shamanic explorers. Share your journeying experiences without judgment. And feel truly free to explore yourself and the world of Plant Spirit Herbalism
Join a loving community that embraces everyone.
“This community is a place that knows no hate, knows no falsehoods, that embraces all who want to learn about the ancient practice of Shamanism. It is a community that embraces the idea that we are all valuable and we all are meant to live out our own life’s journey. If that sounds like a place you’d like to be, come on over and join our merry band of tree-hugging, soul searching, seekers of ancient wisdom.”
Kim P
In a group that welcomes vulnerability
without judgment, self-discovery isn’t scary.
Here’s how we create the accepting, respectful atmosphere that students love:
Your spiritual path is unique to you. Meaning, whatever you experience, however your Guides communicate with you is just right. You never have to compare your path to someone else’s, or worse, some ideal version of what should be.
Get input from other students only IF you ask for it. And when you do ask, members share their learnings based on personal experience. They’ll never tell you what to do. Or that your experience is wrong (because it isn’t!). So you can feel safe to share.
Limited places so you don’t get lost in a sea of students…
In this intimate group experience, there are only 15 places, so you can be sure that your voice won’t be drowned out in a sea of other knowledge seekers.
Every student gets the attention they need (& deserve!)
I thought the size of the class was great. I loved all the women that were in the class. I thought they were super cool. Everyone had the opportunity to share if they wanted

I’ve never done an online course like this before. I’m very much an in-the-flesh, in-the-person kind of anything else that I’ve ever learned. So that was quite a new experience for me. We could still gel as a group, which I was pleasantly pleased with. It’s deepened my interest in plants and their benefits, highlighting how nature significantly aids in healing.
Naomi P
Book a discovery call with me to find out if this course suits you.
Before working with Wendy, my life was constantly interrupted by health issues that I never thought I could heal or understand. She guided me through the process of healing, and the things that have been bothering me for years have finally gone!
Dani S
Getting back on the right track can be difficult, but Wendy used her herbal and medical knowledge and expertise to make it a straightforward process for me. I am finally back to my old self and can manage my household – even after a sleepless night!

If you have any doubts, book a short call with me to discuss if this suits you before you purchase.
The price is 50% less than normal – so £1,196 instead of £1,794 – because this is a beta program.
Beta means that this course is in its “first draft”. We will use the feedback from students who participate in this round to refine and improve for the official launch of the fully polished program.
This means that we’re learning as we go what works and what doesn’t, so don’t expect a fully polished course. That’s why the price for this round is so low.
As a beta student, you are expected to take part in feedback during the course and agree to a Zoom interview of 30 – 45 mins after the course so we can get into the nitty-gritty of what worked and what maybe didn’t.
Yes! With your purchase, all the teachings and tools are yours to use, download, and live by for as long as you walk this path. Meaning you can dive back in ANY TIME you need to refresh or reinforce a particular teaching.

You will be required to source additional materials for the monthly tasks, which include bottles, alcohol etc. for making your own tincture, flower essence and smoke cleansing bundle.
This information will be released in advance to ensure you have ample opportunity to source these materials
Completing the tasks is an integral part of your experience.
You connect to the medicine of the herbs on a deeper level when you craft your own medicines. You also learn basic skills that you can apply to crafting other herbal medicines.
If you do not feel like you can complete the tasks, then I would suggest that this isn’t the course for you.

You can catch up with the classes on replay but if you wish to advance to clinical herbalist training after the apprenticeship- live attendance must be above 80%.

Not at all. Spirit is in all things.
Sure, we often think of Nature and green spaces when we think of Shamanic work. But you can work Shamanically with your car, computer, or home. (I do this all the time!)
You can connect with the land under your apartment building, with the plants in gardens, weeds on the walkway, the birds in the sky, or with the orchid sitting in your window sill.
I will teach you how to reach the plant spirit realm around you – no matter where you are.
How do you know if this journey is right for you? Easy. You feel it.
Because every path is walked one step at a time…

I want to say thank you so very much for a wonderful course. I’ve enjoyed it so much…Honestly, I’ve learned so much. I’ve ordered more jars to keep my herbs in asked for a foraging basket for Christmas, and even made a couple more cheeky electuaries, I set my intention and with your help achieved it. It is a wonderful, fun, informative course, an absolute joy to participate in. Thank you so very much
Rachel T
Wendy made learning enjoyable. Her authentic knowledge of the topic allowed folk methods to be used in practical applications that I feel comfortable using daily. In addition, through hands-on learning, reputable material, and lectures, Wendy provided a well-rounded container for all learning styles. I would recommend this course to anyone starting or fostering an already-established relationship with plants.
