Clinical Herbalism Education & Mentorship
Herbs & Wellness Coaching with Erika Galentin MNIMH RH
Host of the Herbal Practice Connexion
At home in Athens, OH but serving and supporting an international community. Wellness is more than the absence of ill-health, it is a personal journey and state-of-mind that must be cultivated from within. We offer herbal consultations, workshops, and other education services to support, guide, and empower you all along the way...

The Herbal Practice Connexion, or HPX, is a network. Within this network there are three main spaces, or rooms where all the action will be happening…The Consultation Room, The Apothecary, and the Office & Marketing Garden. These three rooms represent the professional facets of our work as clinical herbalists.

Within each of these rooms, you will find an events calendar which thematically offers exclusive opportunities to learn about new topics by participating in specialty trainings, live monthly meetups (what I am calling Pep Talks), online workshops and seminars with special guests, and even case review sessions with your host Erika Galentin MNIMH RH.

Each of these rooms also has its own roundtable feed that functions much like the social media feeds we are all familiar with…consider the roundtable a discussion forum where you can collaborate with colleagues, share resources, seek feedback, and ask questions.

We're currently running a *free 2-week trial* for HPX! Join today for access to these unique spaces, vast living resource libraries, and so much more! Check out the 🔗 in my bio for additional info.

Patience as a pillar of clinical herbal practice shows up in a variety of ways. As herbalists we intuitively understand its necessity when it comes to supporting our clients - patience must be had in order to give the body and the plants the time they need to work together towards a healing goal. We experience firsthand that ‘slow and steady’ is often the pace.

Patience also shows up for us herbalists as a force we must lean into when we are manifesting our careers - building a successful business in clinical practice is accompanied by years of networking and outreach in order to solidify a reputation for ourselves as trustworthy, safe, knowledgeable, and capable practitioners. It takes a long time to educate the public and our communities about our value so that we may sustain a career that is both financially and energetically nourishing…

The idea that patience is like a muscle that can be toned as a result of the heavy lifting of clinical practice and entrepreneurship grants us permission to acknowledge and feel challenged by how difficult this path of being a clinical herbalist really is.

This is not a wallowing type of acknowledgement, but rather an opportunity to say ‘this is hard’ out loud when feeling the weight and heaviness of it all. And sometimes that is all the medicine an herbalist needs to keep going.

The journey we take as herbalists into clinical practice is complex, arduous, and filled with its own special challenges and roadblocks. Sustaining and growing our clinical practices can be equally as challenging.

The Herbal Practice Connexion or HPX was conceived and born with the sole heart-path mission of fostering a community space for clinical herbalists seeking resources and support to build and grow their clinical herbal practice. We will be gathering to share inspiration and practical experience, workshop challenges, and celebrate wins through monthly meetups, Q & A sessions, and roundtable discussions. We will also be gathering to hone our clinical, business, and marketing skills with exclusive specialty trainings, monthly accountability quests, study groups, and mentorship opportunities...all the while cultivating nurturing habits surrounding rest, reflection, and self-empathy.

Does this sound like the support and camaraderie you've been looking for? Check out the link in my bio for more on HPX, including a video all about the program, membership features, and more!

Each month the Herbal Practice Connexion (HPX) is guided by a theme - one of the 12 pillars of clinical herbal practice. These include:

🌻 Vision
🌻 Confidence
🌻 Trust
🌻 Integrity
🌻 Professionalism
🌻 Ethics
🌻 Transparency
🌻 Safety
🌻 Accountability
🌻 Reliability
🌻 Patience
🌻 Collaboration.

Each of these themes represent an opportunity for clinical herbalists to gather and share their thoughts and ideas surrounding how each pillar of herbal practice shows up in their clinical and business practices. We also share and discuss how these pillars influence our personal and professional relationships with our clients, our colleagues, and other health and wellness professionals.

The conversations we are having surrounding these pillars of herbal practice are as important now as they have ever been. Rooted in our values as herbalists and entrepreneurs, these pillars can be a guiding light when our professional foundations are being shaken off center and we are feeling lost in the dark.

We hope you will consider chiming in on the conversation. In gratitude for your consideration in joining our community space, you will receive 2 weeks free access to the entire network, its forums, live events, and expanding resource libraries.

I'm always excited to answer questions about HPX membership, what it entails, and the transformation you will experience on your clinical path as a result of your membership (clarity, confidence, and community). Please reach out here with questions or drop some love in the comments and I'll DM you more info or check out the 🔗 in my bio 💕

Collaboration is regularly defined as a joint effort between multiple individuals or groups to accomplish a certain goal…to create co-creatively. There is a perspective, or worldview, within collaborative efforts that ‘we are stronger together’

As clinical herbalists and entrepreneurs, the need for collaboration shows up in the relationships we build and endeavor to maintain with our clients, other professionals and businesses, and of course, our herbalist colleagues.

What are the members saying about Herbal Practice Connexion?

☀️ HPX has been exactly the support I've needed with my clinical practice, providing community, educational workshops, and a wealth of resources. I could not be happier with my decision to join HPX.

☀️ There are other herbal business communities out there, but this one by far, has more actionable deliverables, quality seasoned and knowledgeable presenters, is personable among the other members, and affordable all in one. If I am going to invest my money in a community-based membership, I want to know I am getting value out of it. HPX delivers endless value!

☀️ As a RN, I am used to having a community of peers to share my experiences and to ask for support. I have been really missing that as an herbalist, until I found HPX! I can feel my confidence growing with the encouragement and additional training and education I receive in this community. My practice is elevated, I am more inspired, and I feel connected to a network of peers. It has been a wonderful addition to my work and my life.

If you’re thinking this sounds like the community for you, check out the 🔗 in my bio for more about HPX and a video from me about the community!

If collaboration was actually as easy as English definitions insist that it is, why can it often present such a challenge in our professional lives?

Perhaps it is because collaboration is not just about the ideas and actions we contribute to a project or outcome, it is also how we make those we are collaborating with feel about their own roles and contributions.
