Become an industry-leading,
Board Certified Clinical Herbalist that specializes in Western (Vitalism) Herbalism

For the person ready to turn their love for healing into a career that pays incredibly well, feels aligned, and changes lives.
This is for you if you’re ready to step into a calling that’s flexible, fulfilling, and deeply impactful—where you set your own hours, do work that feels like play, and help people heal at the root.

Enrollment closes soon—secure your seat and step into the paid, confident, sought-out version of you.

You’ve spent hundreds—maybe thousands—on herb books, classes, and remedies.
But let’s be honest… none of them taught you how to confidently:

→ Take real cases
→ Get consistent results
→ Or get paid like a practitioner.

You’re still second-guessing every protocol.
Still piecing it together.
Still giving your time away for free or undercharging…
Because you don’t feel qualified yet.

And while you wait for it to “click,” the truth is—
It’s costing you income, energy, and your calling.

The Clinical Herbalist Certification is a one-year, board-certified training that gives you:

→ A clinical skillset that actually works
→ A system to choose the right herbs every time
→ And the tools to confidently sell your work online

This isn’t just about learning herbs.
It’s about learning how to turn herbalism into FULL-TIME income and have this lifestyle become your life.

  • Learn Iridology

    The iris shows us everything Tongue Evaluation cannot. You will learn the Constitutions of the iris as well as evaluating the roots of imbalance on the iris to create lasting change in your client’s health journeys.

  • Learn SYSTEMS in Herbalism

    Go far beyond just “managing symptoms” with herbs and dive into real systems that take you from beginner to advanced quickly and easily.

  • Learn Clinical Western (Vitalism) Herbalism

    Practitioners of every kind need to know the Six Tissue States, Constitutions, and how to balance this with REAL Herbalism that never treats from symptoms but knows how to help people heal every time.

  • Learn Tongue Evaluation

    It is time to ditch needing modern day testing and use the body itself to tell us the patterns of disease. Learn the ancient art of Tongue Evaluation at the practitioner level to expertly guide your client’s healing journey.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT:

Most herbal programs:

✘ Teach theory, not clinical skill
✘ Don’t cover tongue, iridology, or tissue state diagnostics
✘ Leave you with a certificate but no confidence
✘ Never show you how to actually get clients or make money

This program was built differently—because you’re different.
You want mastery and a magnetic business.
You want to feel proud of your work and paid for your time.

Hi, I’m Elderberry. Founder of The Vital Force Healing Academy.

I am a Naturopathic Doctor with years of experience not only running a clinic, but teaching classes on dozens of different topics to help people thrive.

I started teaching in 2014 and have grown to 32,000 followers on Instagram and have now taught nearly 10,000 people in my online classes. I am fully accredited with the ANWCB to teach and this Certified Clinical Herbalism course is fully accredited through the ANWPB.

My life is quite literally a dream where every single day I wake up EXCITED about my work while getting paid incredibly well to do it.

What You Didn’t Know You Need:

  • A Healing System

    There are hundreds of herbal remedies. Make understanding them EFFORTLESS with a broken down system you’ll never forget and will use every day in your healing clinic.

  • Clinical Skills

    A lot of teachers teach on one specific aspect of healing but don’t actually show you how to take a case or do any follow-up. You’ll know how to assess your clients for the best possible healing results in mind, body, and spirit.

  • Marketing Yourself

    If you don’t know how to market yourself in 2025, you don’t have a business, sorry. Learn who you’re speaking to, why, and how to leverage social media to get your name out there. (This one part of the training is worth the entire course price, by the way and something I’ve paid tens of thousands to learn.) NO ONE ELSE IS TEACHING THIS.

  • Mental and Emotional Health

    Almost no one is teaching on healing from our negative ingrained belief patterns, stuck places, and traumas. This is incredibly important so you can help people on ALL levels.

  • Setting Up Your Clinic

    Want to take your business entirely online? How will you run classes, take clients, and how will you show up? I’ve got you covered. (NO ONE ELSE IS TEACHING THIS)

Feedback on Dr. Elderberry’s Teaching Style and Lessons:

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • You can choose your payment options on the checkout page and you will be automatically billed every month if you choose a payment plan.

  • You will turn in 5 case studies at the end of this course to show that you know the material. We will go over some of these cases together to discuss why you chose those remedies for your client and any corrections Dr. Elderberry would have made to the protocol you gave.

  • Yes, upon completing this course, you will receive a certificate as a Certified Clinical Herbalist. This will give you the skills to open your own clinical practice if you wish and you need to look up the details of legally practicing herbalism in your state or country. Usually, people operate as “lay” practitioners in every state as long as you do not attempt to “diagnose”, “cure”, or “practice medicine”. A certificate is not the same thing as a licensure.

    You will be able to apply for board certification through the AANWP upon receiving your certificate through this program.

  • Yes, you will receive all of the training you need to practice exceptional Vitalist Herbalism under the title of Certified Clinical Herbalist with the option to become Board Certified by the AANWP.

  • Approximately 24+ live trainings with Dr. Elderberry that are recorded with lifetime access.

  • Yes, I have a book list in the course portal for you that will greatly benefit you on this journey and some are required for Herbal practice, such as a repertory.

  • 3PM Eastern Time every other Thursday and you get access to the recordings that evening. You get to keep the recordings forever. The full class breakdown is in the brochure provided here.

  • After you complete Certified Clinical Herbalist training, you have the option for Board Certification with the AANWP. It’s $245 initial cost (plus shipping) with annual renewal of $145. You will be registered with them so people can find you that need healing.

  • Yes, upon completion of your certificate with The Vital Force Healing Academy, you can choose to receive a board certificate from AANWP. Your title would be Board Certified Clinical Herbalist. They have already approved this course for board certification and Dr. Elderberry is certified by the AANWC to teach it.

  • You have access to this material and recordings forever and do not have to participate in the lives, but this is where you can ask questions and receive answers for your clinical work.

  • There are no prerequisites, but knowing that you will be expected to read and keep up to date with your profession should be a given.

  • The cost for the entire 12-month Clinical Herbalist Certification program is $3,500. There are options to split your payment or a 12-month payment plan.

  • This training is entirely remote, hosted through Zoom and held in Thrivecart where you will have access to trainings forever (which no other school does, by the way!)

  • We will be finished with the live calls in July of 2026, but you have as long as you need to turn in your 5 case studies for my review to get certified. You keep the recordings forever, so no rush.

  • This course will give you all the tools you need to begin practicing herbalism to apply to be a Registered Herbalist should you desire to do so. I will give you a recommendation after you turn in your case studies to me and receive your certificate through this academy. Your classmates can help you with recommendations as well.

This course is fully accredited by the ANWPB and you will not only receive the Certified Clinical Herbalist completion through The Vital Force Healing Academy but will be Board Certified upon completion through the ANWPB should you decide to pursue it. You will be a Board Certified Clinical Herbalist, just imagine it and all of the lives you will change!
