You've seen all the amazing remedies. Youâve learned how to make elderberry syrup, you make your fire cider, and that calendula salve has been working wonders! It's so freaking cool! But then the more you learn about it, the more you're like, "Oh my God, there's so much to learn." And then you realize that there's so many herbs beyond the ones trending on social media, and that working with the human body is so much more complex than just "here, take this herb and everything is great," right?

Hi! Iâm Mel!
I started dabbling in herbal medicine back in the late 1990s, completely fascinated by and in love with nature. Back then, I had no idea I'd still be infatuated with these plants today or that they'd become my life's work. Like you, I devoured every book I could find and took random classes. But the more I learned, the more I realized I needed to go even deeper. I wanted to understand WHY these herbs work and HOW they were working in the body. I wanted to be that herbalist who actually knew her shit. Who truly knew what the heck they were talking about when it came to herbs. So I went all in. I started taking all the herb courses I could - I was lucky back in the day, most were in person. I went to conferences and ate it all up! (And still do today!) Eventually, I built a successful herbal product line that sold nationally, ran my own brick-and-mortar apothecary and tea shop, and worked one-on-one with hundreds of clients. I've been teaching herbalism since 2011. Now, 25 years on this path, I've learned that the missing piece for most aspiring herbalists isn't just knowing about herbs - it's understanding how the human body works and how to think like a holistic practitioner. How to truly help people heal. Body. Mind. Soul. That's why I created this program based on over 14 years of teaching herbalism, 6 of them online, plus direct student feedback. I've taken everything I've learned about what works (and what doesn't), combined it with my background in environmental and experiential (hands-on) education, and Iâm creating the most comprehensive, approachable herbalist training available to help more people (like you!) become the skilled herbalist their community needs. And now I'm here to help you feel rock solid with that same knowledge. That same essential life skillset. That same confidence in what you're doing with herbs. It's your time my friend! You can be the herbalist who actually knows their shit! I'm here to be your mentor and guide you down this path! Let's do this together!
Here's what it's meant to others...
Cindy
Mel, your online training reignited my passion for using plants as medicine, and your enthusiasm for herbalism is infectious!
Monica
Mel's positive energy and passion to teach and share her vast knowledge and personal experiences is inspiring, enlightening, and encouraging.
Christen
There's so much information and it's just easy to digest the way she presents it. She's just a very personable, normal, and down-to-earth teacher which makes learning fun.Â

You have found your life purpose and it shows, truly shining so bright with your smile and the way you understand and can share about plants to everyone!
What Herb Do I Take For This Problem?
Maybe youâve heard this question, or asked it yourself. AndâŚ
If You've Had Someone Give You The One Wonder Herb Answer, It's Probably Bullshit
You know it. I know it.
And I know you've already tried the endless internet scrolling, the random classes here and there, the "take this for that" approach that leaves you feeling like you're playing herbal roulette with people's health.
You've probably:
- Spent money on classes that left you more confused than when you started
- Made remedies that worked but have no idea WHY they worked
- Had people ask for your help but felt terrified you might actually harm someone
But I am here to help you become a confident community herbalist in a way that's actually structured, science-backed- while honoring tradition, and won't make you feel like you're drowning in information overload.
Even with...
- Your perfectionist tendencies that make you terrified of recommending the "wrong" herb to someone
- The conflicting information overload scattered across social media and random courses
- Your imposter syndrome that whispers "who are you to call yourself an herbalist?"
- The complexity of the human body that makes you feel like you need a medical degree to help anyone
- Your busy life that doesn't allow for years of full-time study
- The pressure from your community who already sees you as "the herb person" but you don't feel ready
Introducing the
Community Herbalist Certification Program
A 12-month journey to becoming the confident herbalist your community needs what to do next.
This isn't just another herbal course that leaves you feeling more confused than when you started. It's a comprehensive certification program that takes traditional plant wisdom and marries it with real understanding of how the human body actually works, plus the practical skills to help real people with real problems. We're taking you from "my grandmother used this herb" to "here's exactly why it works and how to use it safely." While still deeply honoring your grandmotherâs wisdom. You'll be on a 12-month (see: life-long) journey of diving deep into traditional plant wisdom PLUS modern understanding of how bodies actually function, PLUS the real-world skills to help your people heal. By the end, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to be the herbalist your community actually needs - no more imposter syndrome, no more "I think this might work," just solid, reliable herbal knowledge you (and your entire community) can trust.
Wow, Mel, your online training so energized me to rethink using plants as medicine again. Your excitement about Herbalists is contagious! As you spoke I was flooded with great memories of my father as the family healer. He handed out countless mason jars to not only all of his children but anyone willing to try the magic of his herbs. I can visualize his back room full of mason jars, a ceiling full of hanging braided garlic strands, & dry racks full of mushrooms and herbs. Mel, you held my heart as you shared your journey with high hopes for this planet and all families. Through tears, smiles, and laughter! Thank you for allowing the great experience!

I wanted to tell you how helpful the breastfeeding class you did is!! I'm struggling with my milk supply a bit and after minor freak out this morning, I remembered about it and I looked at the slides and it just reaffirmed herbs i can take. OMG SO helpful!
Paoloa - Course Participant
Thank you Mel for teaching me all of these things about herbs! Being stuck at home with this- I can't just run out and get something to help. So the fact that I have an herbal apothecary already built has been soooo amazing!Â
Sarah - Course Participant
As a former teacher, then instructor in the air force, it is Mel's method of teaching that I love. Having taken many herbal courses ( wood, Tierra, McDonald, Popham, Groves, Rawls, McBride, Hoffman, Coffman, Falconi, Ganora), I find the way Mel takes complex to an easier to understand or at least to not feel overwhelmed.
We've all followed herbalists online that seem to spend their days wandering the woods and shaking their tincture jars but Mel seems to have a way of teaching that is down to earth and is backed by real knowledge.Â
Think about this. The reason my kid knows about what herbs she should ask for is essentially because of what you do. You are accomplishing your mission!
Amber - Course Participant
I want to thank Mel Mutterspaugh for sharing such amazing information with us! I never realized the herbs and spices in my kitchen could do so much to help my family. I took so many notes and was moved to tears by your story. Youâve truly found your lifeâs purpose, and it shines through in the way you teach and share your knowledge with everyone.Â
Chelsea - Course Participant
My experience with Mel Mutterspaugh's course was undeniably amazing! Not only did I have the honor and so much fun learning from Mel, but I also discovered how the herbs and spices in my own kitchen, pantry, and backyard can be used to make medicine for cold and flu season, as well as many other common ailments. Mel dives deep into the specific benefits of each herb, their characteristics, and our responsibility to the plants and the planet. I was inspired by her discussions on sustainable harvesting, how plants work within the human body, and how to harness that power for our own plant medicine.
Michelle - Course Participant
I have a puker. Ugh. Stomach bug going around. But you know what she just asked me? Mom can you make me some peppermint tea? I just had her take a bath and put some peppermint EO in it and she said it helped so she wants it in tea form now!
Sarah - Course Participant
Mel's positive energy, passion, and wealth of knowledge were so inspiring and encouraging. She reminded me that this is a lifelong journey and that I already have what it takes to be the herbalist in my home. I highly recommend Mel to guide anyone through the wonderful world of herbalism and everything it has to offer. I canât wait to continue on my herbalist path with Mel supporting me every step of the way. Bravo!!!
Monica - Course Participant
I know you know, but I'm just amazed at how all of these herbs are helping me through this sickness. So thank you Mel for teaching me all of these things about herbs!Â
