Ayurvedic Practitioner
Northern California School of Botanical Studies
The Northern California School of Botanical Studies is a continuation of the herbal education Amy Branum has been offering to the public for the last 4+ years.
​
This school provides a thorough education in western herbal medicine based in the foundations of Ayurvedic Healing. We incorporate the most recent scientific herbal research with Ayurvedic energetics and the Ayurvedic approach to health, while using herbs that are local to our area.
​
The mission of this school is to educate students on using herbs while also inspiring positive change in their communities and in the world. While this education is intended to create top- -level professional and respected herbalists, it is also created to plant seeds in the hearts of all to create more awareness and inclusion in reaching out to those in the community who are underserved and under privileged.
This school is for those who want to feed the revolution. -The revolution in healthcare- to remind us that it is everyone's natural right to be healthy and empowered in knowing what their body needs and how to nourish that.
​
Our website will be coming soon! It's a work in progress. :)
