Lisa Bozeman - a testimonial
I don’t usually write reviews but I myself feel a responsibility to ENCOURAGE people to use this School. I have learned more from Mary Light and her teachers in 10 MONTHS than I learned in over 20 YEARS of both self and school study of natural medicine and holistic care. Her non-linear and hands-on way of teaching taught me to TEACH MYSELF and to develope the critical thinking skills that are necessary and so important in the world of natural healing. Anything can be memorized and put down on paper like most schools, but it’s useless if we don’t understand the basics, the root of natural medicine and how to THINK. This is what Mary does. Not only that but she personally and intimately understands and works with each student. She cares what they get out their education beyond the certificate and is never too busy to give of herself and share her knowledge and great love of natural healing at any time - in or out of the classroom. I first completed a 3 month course in Herbal Medicine in the Spring. Then I was allowed to start a very enjoyable apprenticeship at the school and later that Fall started the 2 year Naturopathic program. Mary personally worked with me to make this possible through any challenges I had. I learned how to support the health of a handicapped toddler with significant health issues at a time when doctors and specialists had nothing to offer. I would recommend this School a hundred times over to anyone who really wants to learn TRUE natural medicine in the real world.
NATURAL MEDICINE & HERBAL MEDICINE ONE YEAR CERTIFICATION SERIES
From the Private and Teaching practice of Mary Light, ND MH LMT
January through December 2025 Early registration required. We are offering these teachings again after a bit of a hiatus! The events and awakenings of the past several years for empowerment as to holistic health knowledge, has set our office a-buzz with requests to learn and integrate natural medicine and herbal therapeutics knowledge. Hence, we offer this training, along with this description and overview:
What and Why The Learning Objectives and syllabus draft will make clear what this consists of. But why? How can a participant or graduate use this knowledge? Frankly, the healing(s) students will experience are worth the tuition fee alone.
One becomes empowered, and this training is often taken for personal enrichment, as a benefit to one’s family, as an adjunct to former training and professional endeavor, and a gateway to relevant continuing education. This knowledge will support business endeavors, current consulting services, and existing holistic identities.
INVESTMENT $2,800 It is possible to set up a limited payment plan or 1/3 - 1/3/ - 1/3WHEN 3RD Saturdays, 930- - 430 . Assignments are given to give continuity and support to each training day. Required books/equipment listed to enrollees. OVERVIEWThere are EIGHT PILLARS OF NATURAL MEDICINE PRACTICE – Herbal Therapeutics, Bodywork, Hydrotherapy, Movement, Healing Diets, Energy Medicine, Sleep & Rest Dynamics, and , Education & Counsel. In this training we integrate and experience all of them, with lecture, demonstrations, hands on practical applications, and field experience. You will complete each segment with ever more knowledge, skills and personal healing.I begin with the theoretical model- this is very important to understand the difference between traditional naturopathy approach vs allopathic “conventional” medical approach.
From here I explore, define, and discuss with the students each of the eight Pillars, with examples of each. Students will be given a FIELD WORK JOURNAL to chart and document their experiences and hands on assignments between class meetings.There is no extensive book work, however, there is some required reading and some recommended reading for continuity and clarity. A personal equipment list for students to obtain is as follows: hot water bottle, brush for dry skin brushing, hand size loofah, several cloths and towels, a set of linens for in-class work (we provide tables); cocoa butter, fragrance free lotion, Hexane free castor oil , 32 oz bottle; two pillow cases. It is essential that students cease using fragrances in oils, lotions, and laundry cleaning materials- including those they wear and bring to class. Participants will be given numerous samples of nutritive and herbal formulations during this series.
