Focus Session: Business Skills Workshop
The Business of Herbalism
Tuesday, November 17, 2026
This class is for herbalists who want to build a real business around their work—one that is not only aligned and meaningful, but financially sustainable.Because knowing the plants is only one part of the equation. Turning that knowledge into a living, evolving body of work—clients, classes, content, and products—is something else entirely.
In this Focus Session, I’ll teach directly from my experience as an herbalist and entrepreneur. We’ll explore how to build and grow a practice across multiple pathways: 1:1 client work, workshops and classes (both online and in-person), and product-based offerings—whether handmade in small batches or developed through more scalable, manufacturing-based models.
