Mary Light, ND, MH, LMT, and a natural health educator, will present the 2025 Herbal Medicine Certification Series. This hands-on, experiential program beginning this month offers an in-depth exploration of herbal medicine and the natural health paradigm. Classes are held every third Saturday through December, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., in the Liberty Road and Wagner vicinity of Ann Arbor (West side).

The series, designed for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, integrates traditional naturopathic theory and practical skills. Participants will complete a portfolio of monthly assignments focusing on the Eight Pillars of Natural Medicine, approached through the physiological body systems. The curriculum emphasizes the thoughtful application of herbal remedies to enhance self-reliance and wellness.

This unique opportunity not only equips attendees with a certificate in herbal medicine, but also fosters a profound understanding of how to engage with nature’s pharmacy.

Light, a respected advocate for natural health, emphasizes, “Herbal medicine is the medicine of the home. It gives us the ability to become more self-reliant.”
