A warm hello to all the Boho fans. My name is Latisha, herbmama. A giant thank you to my sweet friend Denise for giving me a chance to talk about what I love in her beautiful space.
After my daughter was born, I went in search of natural alternatives for health and healing for her. Something about the conventional ways just didn’t feel, well, natural for us. And I struggled to know what to do when she was sick. So, I poured myself into learning as much as I could about natural remedies and my understanding and trust in earth medicine grew. The plant people came to greet me and show me their gentle ways and I found myself whole and home again. Now that my girl is older and she is joined by a little sister, I can look back at this time with more understanding. I remember how frustrated and small I felt among the massive amount of information out there. I made it my mission to help mamas feel comfortable and joyful and safe about using natural medicines. What was born out of that frustration was the HerbCraft Camps.

A multi-sensory experience using herbs as medicine the HerbMother way. This isn’t necessarily a class for folks interested in setting up shop as an herbalist, though it could be a great staring point if you are just beginning. The herbmother way is written for the home herbalist. People who want to begin caring for their family and embracing plant medicine as a way of life in the home. Part herbal medicine making. Part crafting. Part re-wilding. Part re-childing. A whole lot of fun.

HerbCraft eCamps are a virtual nature camp for anyone interested in learning about fun, easy, mamafolk methods of herbal craft making. If you’ve ever wanted to start using herbal medicine, but just weren’t sure where to begin. The plants communicate with us through our senses, at camp you will be invited to awaken your childlike expression in the world as we greet our own HomeDirt with fresh young eyes. It is my hope to pique your curiosity about the greenstuff growing right in your backyard and encourage you to begin using natural remedies in the home with ease and a feeling of security.

HerbCraft Camp is a gentle entry into the world of plant medicine, with a loving guide who wants nothing more than to help you feel success with treating you and your family in a natural way.
I’d love to have you along. I am giving away one free spot in the upcoming Spring Session camp starting Monday, March 19th!

Love divine timing.
My 4 year old was recently sick with bronchitis and an ear infection (his first). I was not interested in giving him meds, so off I went to the natural foods store to treat him holistically. The manager I spoke with was so informative and it made me excited to learn more about herbs and homeopathic remedies to treat and heal ourselves. Bonus: my husband is the traditional medicine type and was impressed on how well I was able to heal our son without meds!! I felt like a warrior mother.
March 14, 2012
Ohh yes please! This is exactly what i have been looking for but have not known where to begin. Divine timing!
March 14, 2012
Beautiful pictures. Being a Holistic Esthetician and working in a wellness center, I have created my own products for years. Mostly oil blends used for massage, skin care and aromatherapy.

March 15, 2012
I have always been interested in using herbs to help my family and I since I was a little girl. I would watch my grandmother (abuelita) plant and use the herbs she grew in her backyard. Unfortunately, her arthritis gave her problems and she couldn’t do as much as she wanted to. With her encouragement to stay focused on school, I was not able to join her in the garden and lost much of what I learned as a child. I still have the desire to learn and thanke you for sharing this post. I am going to look into the classes. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this drawing. What a blessing it would be if I was the winner. Blessings
March 15, 2012
