Why This Class Exists
Herbal Support, Taught With Clinical Judgment
Herbal remedies for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are everywhere online - and much of that information is inconsistent or unsafe without context. This class is taught by Tayna Chessman, a certified herbalist and Licensed Midwife who makes her own bone broth, dries her own herbs, and brings that same whole-food, homesteading approach into a clinically grounded class.
You will leave knowing which herbs have real evidence behind them, how to prepare and use them safely, and which ones to avoid during pregnancy, labor, or while breastfeeding.
