From Herbal Medicine Dabbler to Community Herbalist: How to Know You’re Ready

Have you ever looked around and realized… everyone’s coming to you for herbal advice?
Maybe you started out just making some elderberry syrup here and there. A sleepy-time tea. A killer salve for your kid’s scraped knee. It felt fun. Empowering. Maybe even a little magical.
And then suddenly—your coworkers, your family, your friends are all asking:
“What can I take for this rash?”
“Do you have anything for anxiety?”
“My kid won’t sleep—what herbs should I try?”
You want to help. You do help. But somewhere in the back of your mind, you’re also wondering…
“Do I actually know what I’m doing here?”
“What if I suggest the wrong thing?”
If that’s where you’re at, I just want to say—you are not alone.
And maybe, just maybe… It's time to take that next step on your herbal path.
When You’re No Longer “Just Dabbling”
There’s this moment so many of us herbalists hit—when the dabbling turns into something deeper.
You’ve made the things. You’ve shared the things. And now your community sees you as that person—the one who knows how to help, how to heal, how to hold space.
But what if you’re still figuring it all out?
The truth is, you don’t need to know everything. But you can start learning how to confidently support others. How to work with the body. How to approach root cause healing with herbs that are safe, effective, and deeply supportive.
It’s not about becoming the healer who has all the answers. It’s about becoming the community herbalist your people already believe you to be.
In This Episode, I Talk About:
- Signs you’ve outgrown the “just dabbling” phase
- That moment when people start coming to you for help
- What to do when the questions get deeper than you feel ready for
- The mindset shift that helped me move forward with confidence
- Why it might be time for you to step into your role as a community herbalist
