A Course You Can Relate To
Herbalist and herb school instructor Holly Bellebuono had the pleasure (and pain) of having two babies at home with the support of a midwife (in a rural log cabin, about 45 minutes from a hospital, with friends and midwife assistants giving her husband foot rubs while she labored).
As a renowned international herbalist, Holly relied on decades of herbal medicine research, herb growing, and first-hand knowledge of botanical therapies to design this Herbal Healing For Mama and Baby Course. The course is available as a stand-alone course and is also included in the comprehensive Herbal Medicine Foundations Certificate Program.
The course is yours to keep and refer to as needed, for each pregnancy—a treasure-trove of useful information, photographs, recipes, video webinars, charts, and instructions to refer to for every stage, including:
- pregnancy
- labor and delivery
- post-partum care
- breastfeeding
- and infant and child-care.
Many women find they refer to this course as a refresher with every child, as each pregnancy is different.

I feel so at ease of being me, and completely accepted, because we all come with the same purpose of learning gentle ways to heal ourselves and heal our communities, so I feel just completely at home. Holly is a plant-angel in the world. I didn’t know anything about her, but I got hold of the book Women Healers of the World, that’s how I came to be here. When I read that, I felt connected to my grandma and the people in my family who came from that part of the world in South America. I wanted to meet her! I feel very blessed to be here and learning directly from her.
- Patti Sanders -
Holly is so approachable and graceful and gentle. She has a wealth of knowledge and a smart mind. I love the history that she brings, with the botanical names and the Latin foundations of words and herbs and names….She’s also so grounded in the relationships with the plants, and also so flexible with the application of the usage of plants for medicine. It’s a gift to learn from her.
