After years of people asking us where they can begin their herbalism studies (and us not having a place we’d recommend), we’ve decided to open our own school!

 Do you sometimes feel like a kooky oddball? Are you regarded as that woo-woo-juju weirdo? We know how that feels! We also know how hard it can be to find your place.

We look forward to welcoming folks of all learning styles and experience levels to our eclectic 1770 Woodbury, CT farmhouse.

Our primary classrooms will be our apothecary, woods, fields, gardens, and kitchen! Trust us, you’ll start noticing plants wherever you go. We’ll go where they grow! Imagine knowing the names of these plants, understanding how to use them, when to harvest them, and which parts to use. Envision being able to make these plants into medicines such as salves, oils, teas, syrups, and tinctures. How would it feel to help others use these herbal medicines for healing purposes? These are the skills of an herbalist.

Our hands-on courses will focus on the inter-connectivity between people and plants, along with an holistic approach to healing and general wellbeing. We’ll offer a broad range of weekend/weeknight series courses and one-day workshops, both live and virtual. 

“Will you accept this rose?” (DIY Vanilla-Rose Facial Mask and Vanilla Extract) 

Celebrate the debut of the Grounded Goodwife School of Herbalism & Wellness with this pampering launch party workshop!

 Whether or not you have big plans for Valentine’s Day, the gooey goodness of our DIY Vanilla-Rose Facial Mask will have you “date ready!” This 4-ounce instant hydrating mask, made with real rose petals, gently soothes and tones with a plumping effect. Each of the four ingredients have been chosen for their unique benefits. Then, continuing our vanilla theme, DIY your own 2-ounce bottle of Vanilla Extract and learn about real vanilla extract’s healing benefits – including its antioxidant, antibacterial, and diaphoretic properties.
