Herbal & Natural Medicine Training
Lets look at these two concepts' "Herbal Medicine" - and NATURAL MEDICINE - in general and in the context of the two, different, Course Series offered.
​
COURSE #1 Herbal Medicine - "herbs", herbal therapeutics- this is a vast area which can be studied for years! Since herbs are not drugs, herbal medicine is a natural therapeutic. Thus, our HERBAL MEDICINE ONE YEAR SERIES.
​
PROGRAM #2 Natural Medicine - as I offer , teach and practice it, INCLUDES herbal medicine, but also does include hands on experience into 7 other core areas of therapeutic treatment- they are BODYWORK, DIET, SLEEP & REST DYNAMICS, MOVEMENT, HYDROTHERAPY, EDUCATION/ COUNSEL, and ENERGY MEDICINE .
​
Thus, My upcoming NATURAL MEDICINE CERTIFICATE SERIES will journey through defining, assessing, and putting into practice the EIGHT PILLARS OF NATUROPATHY. I do not cover homeopathy as that is a separate system, so be aware of that.
​
These courses are designed to be complementary and add synergy to the overall understanding of the natural healing and natural medicine field, for professional use and also for home and family applications.
​
Those who want to go deep within a year's time may wish to take both. They are held on different days, and are registered as different programs. An OVERVIEW of each series is offered on the HOME PAGE. I elect to stay flexible in my teachings, that said, I am happy to send a draft of an outline, as well as answer specific questions.
​
This time and learning is meant to be experiential, inspiring, fun and very interactive. You will learn the most by paying attention, engaging in class exercises and interactive assignments, and doing guided study.

Lisa Bozeman - a testimonial
I don’t usually write reviews but I myself feel a responsibility to ENCOURAGE people to use this School. I have learned more from Mary Light and her teachers in 10 MONTHS than I learned in over 20 YEARS of both self and school study of natural medicine and holistic care. Her non-linear and hands-on way of teaching taught me to TEACH MYSELF and to develop the critical thinking skills that are necessary and so important in the world of natural healing. Anything can be memorized and put down on paper like most schools, but it’s useless if we don’t understand the basics, the root of natural medicine and how to THINK. This is what Mary does. Not only that but she personally and intimately understands and works with each student. She cares what they get out their education beyond the certificate and is never too busy to give of herself and share her knowledge and great love of natural healing at any time - in or out of the classroom. I first completed a 3 month course in Herbal Medicine in the Spring. Then I was allowed to start a very enjoyable apprenticeship at the school and later that Fall started the 2 year Naturopathic program. Mary personally worked with me to make this possible through any challenges I had. I learned how to support the health of a handicapped toddler with significant health issues at a time when doctors and specialists had nothing to offer. I would recommend this School a hundred times over to anyone who really wants to learn TRUE natural medicine in the real world.
