A Personal Note & Invitation from Bree, Clinical Herbalist and Founder of Wild Yarrow Herbal Clinic and Dispensary:
‘As a clinical herbalist, I’ve been helping women balance their hormones naturally since I opened my herbal medicine practice, back in 2016.
I’ve discovered the strategies that make a BIG difference in how women experience menopause, and whether or not they get relief from their symptoms.
This brand new, fresh masterclass is a culmination of EVERYTHING I’ve learned about how to transition through the important and powerful life stage of menopause, all from a holistic perspective.
If you’re committed to discovering natural menopausal strategies, and are ready to put them into action, then I can’t wait to show you how!’
We hope to see you there.

Histamine: The Hidden Troublemaker in Healthy Foods & What You Can Do About It
2021-09-18 11:00 - 12:00 | Wild Rose Herbal Village
This hour-long presentation is a collaboration between two Nutrition Professionals, Tracey Reed, and Luka Symons.
Do you yourself, or do you see in your clients where symptoms come and go, without any explanation or clear pattern? Are you supporting complex cases, where there doesn’t seem to be a clear answer? Do you have clients who have unexpected responses to your herbal recommendations? Have you heard about histamine and wonder how it can play into your role as a practitioner?
We have a class for you!
Tracey and Luka each have their own journey with discovering the role that Histamine and Mast Cell Activation play in their symptoms, and how it was impacting their day-to-day life. They were doing everything right – the bone broth, the ferments, the low carb thing, low lectin, you name it. They still had struggles. Their constellations of symptoms led them both to uncover the secrets of Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation.
Join Tracey and Luka for a presentation on the In the Wild Rose Herbal Village to explore what is happening in the body with Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Learn about the symptom profiles to look for, dive into dietary recommendations, and targeted supplemental support to help your clients through their symptoms. This will deepen your understanding so that you can better support your clients.
Join the conversation, September 18th, 2021, 11 am pacific.

Join Megan on November 17th, 4 pm PST in the Wild Rose Village
Megan grew up feeling most at home in nature and as a child was constantly using flowers and grasses to make magical ‘potions’. She worked for a number of years as a chef, and her interest in food, especially wild foods, led her to begin more seriously studying the medicinal qualities of plants. She began incorporating more herbs into her life and found relief from several conditions that conventional modern medicine had had very little to offer in the way of treatment. These profound healing experiences inspired her to dive deeper into herbal studies and in 2017 she began her first program with Wild Rose College of Natural Healing. The majority of Megan’s training is from the Western Herbal Medicine and Alchemical perspectives, with additional introductory training in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. For Megan, being able to support her friends, family and community’s health, as well as the health of the earth is as great a responsibility as it is a gift. When she’s not gardening or playing with herbs, you may find her hiking with her dog, practicing with one of her bands, reading or cooking. Find out more about Megan here.

Join Clinical Herbalist Tamara Segal in this 2-part series on Invasive Plants as Medicine for People and Planet.
In class one, Tamara will give us an overview of the ways that invasives tend to come into disturbed spaces and dominate, and how they often seem to play an important role in restoring various aspects of ecosystems over time. She will look at examples of invasives providing food and/or shelter for wildlife and pollinators, how they cleanse and detoxify soil, water and air, prevent erosion, bring nourishment to depleted soil, how they might protect flora from disease, and how they are sources of food and medicine for people.
In the second class, Tamara will focus on three invasive plants, looking more specifically at the medicine they provide to humans and their use in clinical practice; Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) and Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria).
Tamara Segal is a clinical herbalist and teacher of herbal medicine. She runs her practice at a farm, beside a forest near the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario on an island known as Prince Edward County. It’s in the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Haudenasuanee and Mohawk peoples, where the elms and Eastern red cedars flourish. Tamara hand-harvests and prepares most of the medicines she works with in her practice, and has a special appreciation for working with wild plants as both food and medicine. In addition to offering private consultation, Tamara teaches an Experiential Herbalism program at her farm, gives plant identification walks and offers land use consultation support for those looking to let wild spaces thrive on the land they tend. Sharing ideas about the earth’s inherent intelligence and how we can learn from the plants is one of Tamara’s key passions, and she is ever grateful to be doing this work.
