Empowering Wellness: The Inspiring Journey Behind Indigo's Course
When I became passionate about studying herbalism at the age of 18, I had already been living a life of digestive problems and hormone imbalances since I was a child. I did not grow up living a natural lifestyle. I grew up on industrial food filled with chemicals and hormones and allopathic doctors and medicines. This I believe threw my digestion and hormones off.
I was always suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually and no doctor’s advice was helping. Then one time a friend gave me a book entitled “The Herb Book” because she learned how to make lip gloss in it.
I immediately read the book from cover to cover fascinated by all the herbs, their uses, and ailments they could help!
That day, 38 years ago, started my own healing and my life-long passion, career, and study of herbal medicine!
I no longer have the anxiety, digestive, or hormone imbalances that I had in childhood because of these practices and remedies I will teach you.

What previous students say about Indigo's courses:
“Indigo teaches with incredible detail that is still easily consumable. Her material is thoughtfully presented. If you are looking to deepen or enlighten your herbal education, I highly recommend her classes. I lost faith in modern medical and have always been interested in the benefits of herbs, after taking her classes this enhanced my path to extend herbal use and gardening. Indigo has immense knowledge and I would recommend her sharings to all.”
- Ahna Rymer
"I attended several of Indigo's classes on the benefits of herbalism having the ability to heal ailments and make one's life healthier. She is extremely knowledgeable about which herbs/plants are medicinal. She is able to explain the herb knowledge to a person like myself who has had no knowledge of this subject before. Her use of powerpoint also made the lesson easier for me to grasp and understand, and for note taking. I have also visited her garden, and this further helped me in the learning process to understand which parts of the plants are used, and prepared. She also brought in prepared beverages and tinctures that she created for the students to try, further adding to the learning process."
- Vanessa Lyon
"I really enjoyed Indigo's class on herbalism. Indigo has such a vast knowledge of herbs and natural remedies, and shares ways to easily integrate the use of them in daily life in a way that is accessible and practical. I was looking for specific ways I could integrate some natural remedies in the care of a sick family member, so after the class, I booked a one-on -one with Indigo. I am so grateful for her support and for what I was able to learn from her in that time!"
- Elena T.
"The goal of this course is to help simplify the incorporation of herbals into your daily routine, making it as effortless as eating and drinking. Instead of it being a burdensome task, requiring choking down pills, or a distasteful concoction, I want taking herbs to seamlessly blend into your lifestyle to ensure you benefit from the healing properties they provide."
