Shalom, family! Have you ever tried an herb that was supposed to “balance your hormones,” only to feel disappointed with the results? Or maybe you found one that worked—but only for a little while, leaving you chasing symptoms and still waiting for your cycle to settle. If you’re tired of relying on herbs every single day and want to be more proactive about your health, you’re in the right place.
Today, I’m going to share something that most herbalists and doctors don’t talk about. I don’t want you to waste years like I did—struggling with irregular periods, cramping, clotting, and a body that never felt in rhythm. I spent a full decade suffering through cycles that would sometimes disappear for months at a time. The answers I was given didn’t make sense, and the herbs I tried never gave lasting results.
It wasn’t until I became an herbalist and started understanding the body as a whole system that everything changed. With the knowledge I’ll share with you today, I was able to bring my cycle back into balance in just one month. And the best part? I didn’t have to depend on daily herbs anymore. This class is my way of passing that on, so you don’t have to keep suffering in the dark.

Before we start, a quick disclaimer: The information I'm sharing is for educational purposes. It's essential to do your research and consult with a physician, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications. If I mention a specific herb or symptoms, please ensure you do your due diligence and speak with your physician before creating your protocol.

The Complex Web of Hormones
When people ask, “What herb should I use for hormones?” my first response is always—which hormones? Are we talking about excess or deficiency? Male or female? Reproductive or stress-related?
Here are just some of the major players in women’s health:
Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Prolactin
Thyroid Hormone
Cortisol
Each of these works together like pieces in a constellation. When one shifts, it often pulls another along with it. That’s why just “matching an herb to a symptom” rarely works. The uterus isn’t the only piece of the puzzle—your kidneys, liver, adrenals, pancreas, and brain all have a role to play in the balance.

The Danger of Symptom-Focused Approaches
Let’s take PCOS as an example. Many women only hear about the ovarian cysts, but the real story usually starts with stress and insulin. High cortisol levels push insulin higher, and high insulin raises androgens (male hormones). That domino effect creates cysts, missed cycles, and hormonal chaos.
If you only chase the cysts—or the acne, or the hair growth—without addressing the root issue, the cycle continues. That’s why symptom-chasing doesn’t work. Real healing starts when you ask why the imbalance is happening in the first place.

Inside the course, you’ll also get my top five herbs for womb health, my labor and postpartum kit breakdown, and a guide for using herbs with children and pregnancy. While this won’t “certify” you as an herbalist (because there’s no real certification in our field), you will receive a certificate of completion to mark your study.
By enrolling in the course, you'll also receive my top five herbs for womb health, information on my labor and post-delivery kit, and a guide to herbs for children and pregnant women. While the course won't make you a certified herbalist (as there's no official certification for herbalists), you will receive a certificate of completion.
Thank you for walking through this with me. If you take nothing else away, remember this: lasting hormonal balance comes from understanding the web of hormones and the systems that support them—not from chasing symptoms.
Your journey to hormonal harmony begins here. I look forward to seeing how you put this into practice.
Shalom,
