Beginning herbalism can feel overwhelming.
There are hundreds of plants to learn, countless books to read, and an endless stream of information telling you what you should know next. It's easy to wonder where to begin.
So You Want to Be an Herbalist was written to provide a clear, approachable foundation for anyone looking to start their herbal journey. Through lessons on herbal actions, energetics, preparations, safety, plant study, and building an herbal practice, this book offers the essential tools needed to begin learning with confidence.
But rather than providing a fixed materia medica filled with herbs chosen by someone else, this book invites you to create your own. Unlike most beginner herbalism books, the materia medica pages are intentionally left blank, allowing you to fill them with the plants you actually study and work with.
At the back of the book, you'll find dedicated materia medica pages designed to be filled with the plants that are most meaningful to you. As you study, observe, taste, prepare, and build relationships with herbs, your notes become part of the book itself, transforming it into a personalized herbal reference you can return to for years to come.
Part guidebook, part workbook, and part companion, So You Want to Be an Herbalist is designed to grow alongside your herbal practice.
Whether you're just beginning or looking to strengthen your foundation, this book offers a grounded path into the world of herbalism, one built on curiosity, observation, and relationship with the plants.
For the past two years, I've been quietly writing something that has challenged, stretched, and excited me in ways I never expected.
And now, for the first time, I'm opening a limited Founding Reader Edition of my upcoming herbalism book.
The manuscript is complete and currently moving through the final stages of editing and publication.
To help bring the first printing to life, I'm opening 25 Founding Reader spots for those who would like to be among the very first people to receive a copy.
Founding Readers will receive:
A signed first-edition copy
A personalized inscription
Early shipment before the public release
The Herbalist's Companion Guide
Includes:
-Building Your Personal Materia Medica Guide
-Seasonal Ritual Guide
-A printable Plant Observation Guide
More than anything, you'll be helping support the final steps of bringing this book into the world.
After spending so much time writing it, I can't wait to finally place it into your hands.
Expected ship date: September 1, 2026
Digital companion materials will be delivered by email. You'll receive updates throughout the publication process as the book moves toward its final release.
