Family Herbalist Course

with Lise Wolff, RH (AHG), MSc

A practical guide for taking care of the people around you


Do you want...

  • to take care of your loved ones simply and safely?
  • to use herbs to manage many of the experiences encountered in typical family life?  
  • to give good, simple, effective advice to clients?


Did you know...

  • you do not need a large pharmacy to take care of your household?
  • you can manage many "emergencies" at home that often send caregivers and their loved ones to urgent care?
  • herbal remedies that work on children also work on adults?


Lise Wolff wants the world to be a happier, more sustainable place for everyone.  This course is designed to help folks become more self-sufficient and provide the ability to take care of themselves and their families rather than always running to urgent care.  

Lise’s many reviews always comment on her practical approach. You can see what we mean in the How to Test a Herbal Remedy Intro class. Then you can flow into the Family Herbalist Course where Lise clearly describes how to actually use the remedies she suggests with complete and clear case histories. Photos of the plants discussed are included, as well as a discussion of how to prepare the remedies and dosing for infants to the elderly.


Who is this course for? 

This series is designed for people who want to simply and safely take care of their families (including the adults in the house), as well as people who spend time with babies and children regularly, or practitioners who just want to give good, simple, effective, advice and also learn many tried and true specifics. The series is friendly to all skill levels.


This course is for all levels. There is something for everyone!

1. Would be nice if some of the many anecdotes were compressed into simple, brief case histories. 2. Format seemed to switch between being centered on body parts and conditions to the plants (materia medica approach). Sticking with one format would be helpful. 3. Instructor misspoke and named wrong plant sometimes. Was confusing. ______________________________________________________________________ MWIH Help Team: Thank you for your review Joan! We appreciate your feedback. There is certainly always room to improve, so we appreciate that you've shared your thoughts with us. Lise Wolff structured the format of this class by conditions. She starts with one condition, gives several case histories relating to that specific condition - referencing several plants that were useful, before announcing the next condition she is moving on to. Lise covers so many different conditions, many of which used the same herbs, and so, from time-to-time, she ebbs and flows from one condition to the next, while of course referencing different body parts that may have been involved/affected. Lise provides great detail and context for most case histories, and this helps to make the case history more memorable while also giving us valuable insight into the nuances that informed her herb choices and approach in resolving the clients concerns.
