Alongside my clinical herbal practice, I run small group workshops that teach practical, evidence-informed herbal self-care. These sessions are designed to be accessible, grounded and enjoyable, with clear boundaries between education and clinical care.
Some workshops and short programmes are also social prescribing-aligned and may be suitable for referral via link workers or community organisations.
Important note: Workshops are educational. They do not involve individual diagnosis or personalised prescriptions and are intended to complement, not replace, medical care.
Dates are released seasonally. Dulverton workshops resume from late April. To be notified first, email “Workshop list” to herbalscienceltd@gmail.com.
