Clinical Training in Nicaragua

Hello to all! My name is Katheryn Langelier and I am doing something that I have never done before. Trying to raise money so that I can attend a 17 day Clinical Herbal Training Intensive in Nicaragua.

I am looking for sponsors to help me attend this amazing 17 day clinical Intensive with Paul Bergner in Nicaragua. This intensive would be a life changing experience for so many reasons. Not only will it introduce me and begin my education in Clinical Herbalism but it will also open my eyes to another part of the world (I have never left the country) another culture, language, foods and eco-system. During the duration of the 17 days I would be schooled in 20 hours of medical terminology in Spanish.

I will have an opportunity to stay with a local family and visit with a local midwife/herbalist, herbal farmers and herbal foundations. The second week would also be spent in class and working in a clinical setting along side naturopathic doctors/ clinical herbalist. This experience would enhance the skills that I already have and create an amazing foundation in clinical herbalism that I will be able to bring back and apply to my own local community.


I started studying herbal medicine and making my own herbal preparations in my late teens. Since then I studied for three years with Gail Faith Edwards in her Community Herbalism Course and I have attended herbal workshops, symposiums, conferences, classes every chance I can. I own a small herbal business called Herbal Revolution and I grow most of the herbs that I use in my products in my organic garden or ethically wild gather them from pristine local sources. I love being able to provide quality hand crafted herbal preparations for my local community and I have a vision of providing a clinical component to my business and to my practice as a Licensed Massage Therapist.


This fall I will be continuing my education in herbalism through the North American Institute for Medical Herbalism with Paul Bergner. Once I complete this herbal program I plan to mentor/apprentice with a local clinical herbalist to obtain my clinical experience.


This clinical training being offered in Nicaragua will create a foundation unlike any other. I hope you will consider making a donation.

The cost of the program is $2300 and a plane ticket is $850.

I am looking to raise enough money by May22nd they need payment in full by May 24th
