“By using herbs to heal, the very plants we walk alongside on the earth, we not only create empowerment within ourselves, but also identify and connect with dis-ease, allow it a swifter passage for greater healing to be made".
Niki Senior - Master Herbalist
This course is designed to introduce children to the world of herbal medicine and to the long
and magical relationship that people have with plants over the ages.
This course will be an interactive exploration of where plants have been an important part of our
lives and to learn ways that we can explore this relationship even further.
So exciting, right?!
We may not even know it, but we are already herbalists to some degree by helping out in the kitchen or picking plants in the garden.

Your Amazing Instructor
Daphne has been studying, playing, and practicing in the world of herbal medicine for more than 25 years. She has studied with herbalists across the United States and graduated with an MS in Clinical Herbalism from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. In addition to seeing clients and leading group facilitation, she loves to share her knowledge about plants and plant medicine with a diverse range people throughout the community. Plants are here to help us if we are willing to listen and learn.
Daphne is the mother of three creative and curious boys and has encouraged them to be lifelong learners and seek the wonder and sanctuary that nature provides. She has worked with children and mothers in Philadelphia homeless shelters, worked as a service-learning advocate at non-profit Need in Deed, and taught extra-curricular science classes in elementary schools in Maine.
She is especially excited to introduce children to the wonders of plant allies through the spices that we have in our kitchen, edible plants we can grow in our garden, and to the amazing foods and teas we can make in our kitchens that nourish, sooth, support, and strengthen us.
