This Course is Open to All Learners

This course is open to all learners, both folks suffering from long covid, clinical students and practitioners. Please note that this class is taught at a practitioner level and assumes an understanding of physiological concepts.

That said, we’ve seen dedicated students from varied backgrounds successfully grasp these concepts with commitment and study.

Please reach out if you need resources for the A&P part of this course.

About Our Long Covid Course

Understanding and Managing Long Covid Patterns: A Holistic Approach

What most post viral illnesses have in common is immune dysfunction, with varied presentations ranging from mild immune suppression to chronic inflammatory processes to full blown autoimmune disorders. In the last 22 years of clinical practice I've worked with a wide variety of post viral illnesses.

When I first encountered Long Covid, a lot of what I saw made sense. As an herbalist, working with folks who need immune balancing and support in recovering from the traumatic experience of suddenly developing a chronic illness is a regular occurrence.

However, there were some peculiarities about Long Covid that I hadn't seen with other post viral illnesses.

The reality is, Long Covid is complicated. It took me a long time to figure it out, and an even longer time to understand how to teach about it.

This course makes working with LC easier by establishing clear patterns of dysfunction with interventions targeted at the specific pattern pathophysiology.

About Our Foundations In Holistic Health Class

Our prerequisite course lays essential groundwork through three key elements: my practical philosophy of herbal medicine, a specific and comprehensive approach to building health, and clear guidelines on herbalists scope of practice.

Herbal medicine is deeply personal - every practitioner brings their unique perspective and understanding to this work. When we explore complex health challenges like depression, simply learning pattern recognition and corresponding herbal protocols isn't enough. You need to understand the philosophical framework behind these approaches.

By including my foundational perspective on health and illness, along with my distinct approach to building health (separate from disease prevention), I've created context to enrich your learning in all future classes. This deeper understanding allows you to engage more meaningfully with advanced topics and standalone courses, seeing not just what we do, but why and how we approach herbal medicine the way we do.

Looking forward to seeing you in class!
