Teaching and Learning with Dr. Martha
Dr. Martha Libster, an Advanced Practice Nurse, has practiced and taught nurse-herbalism for more than three decades on five continents.
She has written three authoritative books on the subject: The Nurse-Herbalist, The Integrative Herb Guide for Nurses, and the award-winning book Herbal Diplomats which is about the history of nurse-herbalist leaders before Florence Nightingale.
Whatever your current understanding of partnering with plants in comfort and care, working with Dr. Martha and plant teachers will take your practice to a new dimension!
What Is the Nurse-Herbalist Certification Program?
The three modules of the Nurse-Herbalist Certification Program at Golden Apple Healing Arts will “root” your love of plant remedies deeply within the nursing scope of practice.
