Christian Herbal School
Lavender Path Wellness (LPW) Herbalist Training School
Herbal instruction can provide education to consider while self-diagnosing and self-treating the over 80% of medical symptoms that can be handled without professional medical care. It also helps you recognize when it is important to work with a primary care professional for health concerns. Studying herbalism helps you have the knowledge you need to help yourself, your family, and others.
The LPW Herbal School uses the Journey Christian Herbalist Training Course to train herbalists through various levels of herbalism through its five programs: Family Herbalist (FH), Community Herbalist (CH), Woman’s Herbalist (WH), Clinical Herbalist (CLH), and Professional Herbalist (PH). PH is only available for those who have completed the required programs.

Recent Graduate’s Review
“Working with Joni in her program Lavender Path Wellness Clinical Herbalist Training taught me more than how to create herbal formulas and strategize health plans; Joni guided me in how to empathize with my clients, how to ask good questions, how to dig deeper than the surface of a health diagnosis, and how to believe that I could be a carrier of healing to my community and clients by being incessantly curious, committed to constant growth and compassionate. I am equipped and confident in my herbal practice because of my time in her program!”
“The Professional Herbalist program was the perfect next step after finishing my training in herbal medicine. The material cut through the overwhelm I felt of all I didn’t know about running a business and provided guidance on how to get everything from finances and forms to my business values and plan in order. Each lesson prompted so many ideas that helped me hone in to how exactly I wanted to operate my business, who I wanted to serve, and how to grow in confidence about my offerings. Although the content was wonderful, having Joni’s 1:1 mentorship was the best part of the whole experience. Her insight, encouragement and creativity tied everything together and helped me put what I was learning into practice“
