Make your summer apothecary: 3 week medicine-making course

Let’s be real: summer can be a season of joy and stress. Bug bites, sunburns, heat exhaustion, they’re inevitable. And in those moments, people often reach for store-bought products or pharmaceuticals despite wanting a more natural way to deal with it.

and here’s the truth: knowing how to use everyday herbs for seasonal first aid and care is one of the most powerful, accessible skills you can give yourself and your family.

With the right guidance, you can:
🌿 Replace overwhelm with clarity, no more Googling remedies when you’re already stressed.
🌿 Avoid toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals you don’t trust.
🌿 Build confidence in your ability to care for your family naturally, with remedies you’ve prepared yourself.

This isn’t just about herbal know-how. It’s about reclaiming your sovereignty, deepening your connection to nature, and feeling grounded, calm, and capable when life happens.

Imaging this...

Right now:

  • Your child comes crying with a bug bite, or your partner gets a splinter and you’re unsure what to grab.

  • You want to avoid pharmacy creams, but you feel overwhelmed by the conflicting advice online.

  • You’ve got jars of herbs, but not the confidence or clarity to actually use them.

After Summer Apothecary:

  • You head straight to your shelf and grab the herbal salve you already prepared, calm washing over you as you know exactly what to do.

  • Instead of spending hours searching online, you’ve got clear recipes and demos that guide you step by step.

  • You feel empowered, confident, and prepared cause you're already stocked up with simple, effective summer remedies made from common herbs.

If that sounds like a dream? That’s exactly what Summer Apothecary delivers.

FAQ section

Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. I've got answers.

What's a live medicine-making course? Do I have to make along?

Ever tried making a herbal remedy and thought… Is this right? Should it look like that?

You’re not alone!

While herbal medicine-making becomes second nature with experience, starting out, you can feel pretty uncertain. That’s why we’ll make remedies together, live on Zoom.

Join in hands-on, or simply watch the demos and take notes, either way, you’ll be able to ask questions as we go, troubleshoot on the spot, and leave feeling confident about tackling these common everyday issues with ease!

What if I don't have the supplies, where can I get them?

Keen to make along too, but don't have all the supplies?

I've got you covered!

As soon as you join the course, you get instant access to the remedies so you can get prepared.

I've got supplies lists and lists of supplies you can buy them from.

Many of them you'll even be able to find in your garden or grocery store.

We'll also talk about how you can substitute and make do with what you've got.

There's also an option to buy a supplies kit from me, it doesn't have everything, but it'll save you time and money sourcing all the little bits and bobs individually. See above for exactly what's included or not.

What's podia and how does it work?

Podia is the platform I host my courses on. Once you've bought the course, you'll be prompted to create an account if you don't already have one.

You WON'T be charged to have a podia account. I pay hosting fees to use this platform as a course provider, but you don't have to as a participant.

How long will I have access to the course material?

You'll have one year to access the course material (maybe longer, depends if and when I run this course again).


When the time's getting closer, you'll get an email notification with reminders to download all the content you want to keep

I can't make some of the dates or times for the live course - can I still do it?

Of course, replays are available!

All the live sessions will be recorded and uploaded to our course page, usually a few hours after the live.
