How Erin grows the work, from the garden up.
Erin Stewart is a clinical herbalist, NAHA certified aromatherapist, and organic gardener. She grows over 100 kinds of aromatic and medicinal plants for her own apothecary, cultivates an organic edibles garden filled with delicious heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables, collects lavender varietals, and distills essential oils and hydrosols in her PNW garden.
Floranella
Floranella is an online herbal school from which Erin offers classes in herbalism, aromatherapy, foraging, and distillation.
Our signature course, the Herbal Aromatherapy Certification Program, is an online, hands-on, 2-year apprenticeship. Offered as the perfect complement to your certification through Aromahead, this program builds upon what you have already learned about aromatherapy to teach you more about how to work with aromatic herbs from the garden to your still to your apothecary.
What made the difference, in Erin’s words.
Erin runs an herbal school of her own, so her standards for teaching are high. Here is what she valued here, in her own words.
Information you can trust
The coursework cites its sources, and a fellow educator noticed.
Programs are well organized and well produced, with reliable, cited, accurate information.
Case-study instructors who care
Dedicated instructors read your casework and answer with patience.
The dedicated case study instructors are thorough, helpful and kind.
A forum full of classmates
Students work through assignments together, not alone.
I also appreciated the community forum where students could discuss homework assignments and questions.
