Did you know that Herbal Practice Connection (HPX) offers both monthly and annual memberships? 🌻

Each membership guarantees access to the three main spaces, or rooms where the action happens. These are The Consultation Room, The Apothecary, and the Office & Marketing Garden. Within each of these rooms, you will find an events calendar which thematically offers exclusive opportunities to learn about new topics by participating in:

🌱 Specialty trainings
🌱 Live monthly meetups
🌱 Online workshops and seminars with special guests
🌱 Case review sessions with yours truly

Each of these rooms has its own roundtable feed that functions much like a social media feed or a discussion forum. You can collaborate with colleagues, share resources, seek feedback, and ask questions!

Most importantly, you will also find a resource section particular to the subject material of that room. Included is a growing body of articles and other documents, videos, podcasts, and more.

What is professionalism to you? How do you define it? Is it even important?

Tag me in your posts and replies so I can share! Also, check out the podcast episode in the comments if you’d like to hear me profess about professionalism in herbal practice.

11/09/2026

Exploring the etymology of the word ‘professionalism’ in the English language, we are reminded that its root is ‘profess’ which means to speak out or to declare publicly.

A profession is therefore a group of people collectively professing the shared standards and values that govern their work. These shared standards and values form a belief system of that group which then defines its professionalism. This is where it gets tricky for us herbalists, especially as we consider the diversity of identities and traditions within herbalism even here in America.

Even if Western ‘clinical herbalism’ itself could be considered a whole, easily definable entry or profession, there are many ways of being an herbalist or practicing herbalism within this tradition. What may seem to me as entirely unprofessional within Western clinical herbalism as I practice it, may lie within the bounds of perceived collective responsibilities, beliefs, values, and ethics of other Western herbalists.

Whose measure of competency, ethics, morals, values, and beliefs are we meant to centralize from this diversity? How do we collectively declare what ‘professionalism’ is without colonizing other traditions? As herbalists, is it even possible to collectively profess anything without appropriating or homogenizing?

My clinical education, experience, and knowledge are based in both science and tradition. Much of my herbal and clinical rationale is derived from the past and present Physiomedical philosophy, with utmost faith placed upon vix medicatrix naturae, or the healing power of nature.

I see the human body as possessing a vital integrity and intelligence with inherent integrative, reconstructive, and resistive, tendencies.

I do not see it as a broken-down machine, lacking the savvy for self-repair; given the right set of circumstances, the right nutriment and encouragement, the human body, your body, is capable of amazing things.”

What are the members saying about Herbal Practice Connexion?

☀️ “HPX has been exactly the support I've needed with my clinical practice, providing community, educational workshops, and a wealth of resources. I could not be happier with my decision to join HPX.”

☀️ “There are other herbal business communities out there, but this one by far, has more actionable deliverables, quality seasoned and knowledgeable presenters, is personable among the other members, and affordable all in one. If I am going to invest my money in a community-based membership, I want to know I am getting value out of it. HPX delivers endless value!”

☀️ “As a RN, I am used to having a community of peers to share my experiences and to ask for support. I have been really missing that as an herbalist, until I found HPX! I can feel my confidence growing with the encouragement and additional training and education I receive in this community. My practice is elevated, I am more inspired, and I feel connected to a network of peers. It has been a wonderful addition to my work and my life.”

What happened when clinical work became my primary revenue stream?!? Wasn’t good for me or my business 🤯

Next question for all of you is inspired by my chat earlier this week with the lovely Laura Ash of Land of Verse and her herbal entrepreneurs group.

If clinical practice hasn’t been feasible as a primary or substantial revenue stream in your herbalism business, how have you diversified?

Let’s tell a story about keeping our businesses and passions vibrant! Tag me if you post a reply and I will share widely!

Integrity is also about holding safe space for ourselves and our clients by knowing when we are practicing too close to the boundaries of our scope of practice.

As an herbalist, what is integrity for you? 🌸
