Practice herbalism with precision.
Our Course
What is the Advanced Clinical Year?
The Verse Advanced Clinical Mentorship is for western herbal medicine students who have graduated from a herbal medicine program or school and are looking for mentors to support their new clinical practice.
This Advanced Clinical Mentorship is a foundation for new clinicians to gain hours for their American Herbalist Guild (AHG) Registered Herbalist (RH) certification, or just to add new insights in their own clinical experience.
In this program, you will get to be a fly on the wall with two seasoned Clinical Herbalists, Laura Ash and Kelsey Barrett.
You will observe the clinical sessions that Laura and Kelsey hold, supporting Verse’s free clinic. After sitting through the clinical session, we will discuss what is going on with the client through the lens of Western Herbal Energetics, Ayurvedic Doshas, taking in all of the testing and diagnosis that the client has brought in with them.
After we discuss, we will gather again a week later to discuss the client herbal and lifestyle protocol based on the research that was done the week prior. We will host two clients and two discussion sessions per month.
