Kami, I appreciate your teaching method. Using your technique, I found that more plant medicine was extracted and I learned how to make better infused herbal oils. The handouts are helpful, and I appreciate having access for this class for an unlimited time. Thank you!
- Cheryl Wright, California
"It sounds like such a cliche, "Oh this course changed my life!" but it really did. What I paid for this class literally feels like nothing compared to what I received from it. If you are on the fence or at all thinking about doing this, I 100% say go for it, it will change your life. "
- V. Keen, Vermont
"I have been using the lavender oil oil for my dry skin and I like it for my hands, cuticles. I put it on my feet, too, especially my rough heels. I use arnica for bruises. I would love to see you and tell you in person how much this class has meant, your classes have been an answer to prayer. Thank you so much. I hope I can get others interested in using herbs and making infused oils."
- Gayle Frye, Bakersfield, CA
“I love the class and all the things you share. I get a lot out of your demonstrations. I am grateful that I can download everything and get to it on my own time. I've been planting a lot of herbs in my garden this year so eager to learn all that you have to teach. Thank you so much.”
- Charlotte, CA
"I love these oils. They smell amazing and feel so great. I've been blowing my nose a lot due to a sudden head cold and the oils helped soothe my raw skin. I can’t believe how much more connected I feel to my body, the plants, the seasons and healthy lifestyle choices. "
- Lisa
“I love this and love being a part of the program. This is such a great way to get affordable luxury! This course eliminates the anxiety and confusion of using herbs and creates a confident and easy way to take care of yourself without using chemicals from the store or unnecessary medications"
- Emily, Denver
“Thanks for another excellent course Kami. I am enjoying this course just as much as I enjoyed the last course. Plus! and you will love this. I have a grand daughter that is now hanging out and working in the kitchen with me. Not only helping me but asking questions and learning along with me now. It is great. Hugs”
- Vicki Ross, Pennysylvania
"This class and working with the oils has helped me reconnect back into my body and feel more grounded and calm during a very stressful time. I feel like the oils have been an incredible gateway for me to be more connected to the plants in a way that I wasn't before. I have read a lot of books and been studying herbs for awhile but I feel much more in relationship with the plants I've made oil with. There has been a whole other level of retention and recall with my herbal learning and oil making has helped me get ot know the herbs on a much deeper level."
- Rashida, Oakland
"A class on Oils that sounds interesting, but at my age (80) is it worth taking? That was my first thought as the class was presented to me. I decided to take it. I learned things, right off the bat that made oil making so much easier than I had ever seen before. In the past by the time I had my oils infused with the herb they had a chance of being moldy or rancid. Kami has made it so much easier and fool proof, seeing it done on her video’s makes it so simple. Kami takes any guess work out of the process. I am so glad I have taken the class and would recommend it all who are concerned for their health and the wellbeing of their family. She has empowered me to produce my own healing oils that I can have confidence in."
- Marianne Lawrence
"Kami McBride’s herbal teachings have added so much joy, depth, community, self-awareness, and most of all, better health to my life. Her consciousness and abundant knowledge make for a very influential teacher. She has helped me to make a space in my life for self-care and my own health. Kami is a teacher through and through, led from the purest place of an inspired heart."

“Since taking the class, I have been able to make herbals oils with other plants available here in Jamaica, which I blended with the St. Johns Wort. This has been a tremendous help for my mother who was unable to open the fingers of her right hand and was further frustrated by the loss of her ability to take cortisone shots. Mom is now tremendously happy because she can now bend her fingers without pain and she spends hours gardening everyday. Thanks Kami for the lessons and the inspiration.”
- Carleen Reed, Jamaica
“You kept the information in terms that I can understand. The recipes are great also. My oil has such a heavenly and fragrant smell. I could just sit with the open bottle beside me all day long! It made me very excited to know that I could make my own oils and recipes. Your course renewed my passion for herbs and oils again!”
- B. Jackson, Casper, Wyoming
“Kami gives you good, sensible and practical step by step advice along with easy to remember herbs to oil ratios. After the first lesson you will think to yourself “I can do that” and you will, just as I did. There are so many practical uses for this class and would highly recommend it..”
- Katherine Moss, Australia
“Kami....I just loved all those great tips you gave, your teaching style is wonderful...just like being at a good friend's home making herbal medicine together. I learned a really awesome way to make great herbal infused oils without them getting molding or taking forever to infuse.”
- Louise, Washington
"This course has helped me tremendously with how to extract the skin loving properties of herbs! I have read a lot of articles and watched videos over the years but none explained it like this course did. I compared my previous infusions with this method and the color (end results) were so different . For example , my Calendula infusion before was a light yellow color and now it’s deep green and so much more concentrated . I’m making salves using them and I bathe most nights with Lavender infusion and sometimes Calendula too. I love being able to just grab one of these and apply neat for whatever I need! Thanks Kami! ”
- Lynn DeHart, Hawaii
“The oils I make with your method have more life force to them. I am very grateful for the class and all the inspiration you’ve given me. Having the oils and making them yourself is very empowering. If this is something you have never done before, you must try it because you have no idea what kind of world is going to open up to you. You have a lot to gain.”
- Cynthia, New York
“After taking class with Kami, I realized of all herbal medicine making, herbal oils were my favorite thing to create.
I use my oils daily, starting with a foot rub each morning before I put my socks on for work. I frequently rub them on my neck, shoulders and other parts of my body. I carry them with me and they accompany me on trips and camp outs. I give gifts of oil to family and friends and it is always appreciated. I get frequent requests for refills! Herbal oils serve as a foundation for salves, creams and body lotions as well. I hope you will discover the joy of herbal oil making ; so simple and accessible! ”
- Zuhra Dabner, California
"I am so grateful to be able to have the oils, especially the arnica. I have a lot of sore muscles and bruise easily so it's a blessing to make them myself and know it's always at the ready. Thank you! "
- Melissa Black
"I wasn’t planning on using my comfrey infused oil so soon, but I dropped a shelf on my foot and instantly was thankful that I made it up a week prior to my accident. The video about compresses allowed me to be armed and ready and it worked like a charm.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this class. Due to applying the comfrey, I walked away, without any bruising the next day. Pretty remarkable since my foot immediately started to bruise after the accident. It was doozy of an accident. Another success story for you to share.
Thank you so much for all you do.
Saying “thank you” to you just doesn’t seem like enough. I’m SO glad I signed up for this class. It has paid dividends in so many different ways. "
- Julie Belcher, Virginia
"I am so happy I found Kami!
Her method for making the most precious herbal oils is without a doubt the easiest and quickest method I have found.
My first try was calendula and I couldn't believe the intensity of color and scent! Every one of the oils I have made following Kami's direction is far superior to any others I made using the plain infusion method and waiting for weeks. It's not only easy, it is FUN! This is for sure my "go to" method for making oils!
- Donna H, Pennysylvania
"I am a Certified Aromatherapist and took this class merely because I wanted to make my own "Trauma Oil," a VERY expensive blend of St John's Wort, Calendula and Arnica infused oils often used as a carrier oil for essential oil blends. The money invested in this course has paid for itself already, but the true value is the spark and confidence it gave me to start exploring making more of my own herbal remedies.
The kids are excited to learn, create and use them too. I never dreamed that this class would totally change our family's lives in such a meaningful way. "I LOVE my handcrafted herbal oils using the method I learned in this class. It's been a game changer for me."
- Carrie Ann, New York
"I love Kami's classes. The lessons are well balanced with information, DIY and humor. And she goes beyond just one little thing in the videos, her lessons are layered with knowlege and I get to participate at my own pace. And so many downloads and extra lessons. Thank You!"
- Andrea Long, Indiana
"Taking your class on healing herbal oils was one of the best things I've done to further and inspire my herbal journey.
I heard about the benefits of Trauma Oil and I thought about making it myself, but there was too much mishmash information on the internet. Thankfully I found your class. I appreciate what a generous teacher you are, all the bonus information plus your natural way of connecting (loved the Q and A sessions, got a lot out of those) got me so excited about infusing oils.
Now I have a tall cupboard full of my infusions. They go into all of my salves, balms and blends. Thank you for sharing this wisdom so enthusiastically and thoroughly."
- M. T.
"I have been infusing herbal oils and creating body care products for almost 10 years. My intention was to create healing oils and balms for massage therapist who work with clients with soft tissue pain, injuries and traumas. I have always been on the lookout for better and more efficient and effective ways to formulate and create the highest herbal extractions. So of course when I learned about Kami and her online herbal oil class I initially thought well I’ve tried so many different methods to make herbal oil infusions (as so many who dive down this path do....)what could she be doing differently? I’ve had some methods work wonderfully, and others were, well good learning experiences. When I saw a free tutorial from Kami on making lavender herbal oil and saw her method, I realized this was something I had yet to try and learn about. It made sense to me and so I signed up for her course and haven’t looked back since. I have noticed a huge improvement in the quality of my herbal oils, they are darker in color and have a stronger scent of the actual plant. Overall I am very happy with the quality of my oil extractions from taking this class. Kami has a fun and sweet energy in her teachings and I highly recommend her course and all of her skilled knowledgeable teaching will help you where ever you are on your path with making amazing herbal oil extractions."
-Jessica Astley, La Floresta Botanicals
"Your approach to teaching and holding my hand through this class made herbal oils so easy. Moving forward in my life, I am always going to make and use herbal oils. This has been the best introduction to herbs and learning about the oils helped me understand herbal medicine so much more. Thank you so much."
-Hilary Go, New York
"The way that you support your students made a huge different for me in this class. Having the interaction with you and learning how to apply the information we learned in class to other plants, this was priceless. The format of your course is so easy and I feel like I was talking to a friend. Thank you for teaching me this very important life skill."
-Bea, Tennessee
"I just want to thank Kami for this most worthwhile experience. I was a bit reluctant to register at first because I had no idea what I was going to get in the course. I was stunned by the amount of information she gave, but this was not only “information” that you get in a typical course, it was a life changing experience for me and a whole new way of looking at herbal oils. With Kami’s step by step video instruction.
I felt gently guided and supported in creating amazing oils which I use every day. I can’t express the amount of satisfaction I get in making these oils. I’ve expanded my oil making to other herbs using Kami’s techniques that produce a very rich and potent product, her methods of extracting oils is the most effective I’ve seen. Kami is an outstanding teacher, her passion and knowledge makes this course a must take. She has a clear and organized curriculum and all the videos are downloadable, I find myself going back to watch certain videos over again as a review. She is also very available to answer any questions. I have taken many herbal medicine courses and I have to say this is one of my favorites.”
-Rosie, New York
"I’ve worked with herbs and wild plants but only began dabbling with oils a couple years ago. When I found your course I hesitated momentarily due to cost but the lifetime access thing sold me. What I love is the videos and simple tips - and I love the Q & A section. What I enjoy most about your program is you - you are engaging, funny and down to earth and so so passionate! I love hearing real life stories and feeling like I’m part of a community. "
- Jain Alcock-White, British Columbia
"Your class has helped me so much. The oils I’ve made with this class are so much stronger than my products in the past.
I had a growth between 4-5th toe that I’ve had removed several times. I tried everything the Doc gave me to no avail. Then I began to put drops of my infused calendula oil on it daily. Immediately the inflammation & pain began to to disappear. I continued & the lump began to go away. This is my 4 th week & it’s almost flat. Life is good!
Thanks Kami for your teaching, creativity & love of herbs. I have recommended this class to all of my friends!"
- Marcia Garcia, Tuscon
"Kami's Herbal Healing Oils course has changed my life! I moved from San Diego to Colorado and wasn't quite sure how I was going to make it living here. So dry. Learning and making these oils has not only changed my life and sanity quite frankly its changed the lives of a few others I've introduced the oils to as well. Cracked heels ..gone. Dry itchy skin ..gone. Wonderful wonderful game changer!"
- Christine Ryan

I feel it's my way into deepening my own self care and all those that surround me. I will be making all kinds of great things for my family and friends! Deep gratitude Kami for sharing your knowledge in such great ways.
"
-Roxy Fredrickson, Castle Rock, Colorado
"Kami’s style of teaching and her passion for herbs is contagious. I have only been in the herb world for a few years and was so overwhelmed with the amount of herbs and the properties of each herb but Kami gets you to relax and take your time with just a few herbs and really get to know them. You will love her course as her passion for herbs is infectious. "
-Diane Reeve, New York
"I signed up for this course on the strength of the testimonials. The previous students were who convinced me that there had to be more to this course than what I could find on my own online. The oils I have made in this course have so outstripped anything I had made previously that I had to completely reevaluate topicals as medicine. We’re in the middle of a pandemic and I had been taking fairly strong tinctures and teas to help sleep and manage anxiety. Since using gentler herbs in oils daily, I have been able to cut back by about 90%. I have also gone back through other herbal courses that contained herbal oil recipes and gained a deeper appreciation of where we can go with them!"
-Kyle Putnam, Washington
"By promoting this healing modality we help people love themselves more and untie some of crazy knots we have in our society. I am so honored to be doing this work with the oils and thank you so much for the inspiration and all that you do. "
-Layla Habib, British Columbia
"This course with Kami will give you the foundation and techniques so that you'll feel the confidence and freedon to make oils from plants that grow in your area. I have taken lots of herb classes over the past 30 years and I learned a lot. I highly recommend this course, It is perfect for beginners and if you've been at it for awhile, you will learn more here. "
-Laureen Campana, Sonora
"I loved Kami’s Handcrafted Healing Herbal Oils course. Kami teaches from the heart and is passionate about making herbs easy to use and available to all. She has assimilated her decades of experience into an oil making process that works, saving her students countless hours of trial and error. And the oils are so much fun to make. They make great gifts and, of course, are wonderful for self-care. I’m very glad I took her course."
-Joanne Thompson, Florida
"I took Kami's Handcrafted Healing Oils course and got so much from it! I had made some attempts and oils in the past and was pleased with them, but the knowledge I gained from the course really took my oils to the next level. I had the wonderful experience of making my own fresh plant St John's Wort oil, which was amazing! I take it each month to my massage appointment and it helps so much! I strongly recommend the course! Kami was so present for the students and was so responsive to my (many) questions.
"
-Bonnie Broome Reynolds, Texas
"As a birth doula, I always dreamed of making herbal oils and salves for my clients but was too intimidated by the process. I am so grateful to have found Kami's Handcrafted Herbal Oils class. She makes the whole process approachable with her down to earth teaching style. Her knowledge is unparalleled and her course is truly all you need in order to learn to make incredible oils for yourself and your community.

"This class has made me feel so empowered and I really love the self-care section of the class.
Through the Self-Care and Application modules, you've taught me how to build simple but lovely rituals into my daily/weekly routine to nourish and renew my body, mind and heart with these therapeutic oils.
It blows my mind how the oils I learned about in class can bring calm to my anxious, over-stimulated nerves and mind. I'm so thankful for this course, you have taught me so much about how to do truly healthy and healing self-care.
From this course I now finally feel like I have the tools to make really pure, but potent healing products for my skin and my body that I can trust and truly enjoy. It's really given me the confidence to make products for my skin, and I don't have to break the bank to make them and use them!
I'm so thankful for having found your class, and all this valuable knowledge that is going to keep my family healthy, and help us avoid pharmaceutical drugs as much as possible!"
-N.S. Switzerland
"IF you are on the fence about taking this course, don't be! Just dive in! Kami is the most thorough voice out there right now teaching herbal oil making that produces consistent, shelf stable, quality oils that are the basis for effective herbalism and cosmetic making.
Even with my experience of more than 10 years of making herbal oils I learned more in this course. The nuggets I picked up in this class, and the one on one mentorship from Kami that comes with it, plus the new bonus content being added has made this an investment I'll keep benefitting from for a long time. Thank you Kami!"

Loved the way you express with such passion and description of each herb as you thoroughly cover in depth your wisdom and experience of over 20 something years in the body massage business. I am forever thankful for your expertise in teaching.”
- Gem, NY

Kami not only teaches about the oils and everything they can do for you, but she also a teacher that helps you to deeply connect with the plants. Anyone that wants to make high quality herbal medicines, this course is essential. Thank you so much Kami for sharing your wisdom"
- E.L., California
“Thank you Kami for changing my life! My many herbal books and training programs had left me overwhelmed and without confidence. I sought medical assistance for years of skin problems which have left painful scars but rejected the offered sleeping pill and surgery options. After completing Handcrafted Healing Herbal Oils and Herbal Kitchen Remedy Solutions program, I had the tools to heal myself. I learned simple herbal practices and almost without knowing, I could integrate, internalize and utilized my experiences. I learned to listen to myself and to the plants.”
- Mary Souder, Ph.D
Before taking this course, I knew store bought self-care products were terrible for our health so I avoided them like the plague. I never used them on myself or my kids, and just suffered through dry skin and dry scalp. Thanks to Hand Crafted Healing Herbal Oils, I now know how to harness the gifts of nature and use them for daily self-care as well as relief during injury and illnesses! Since taking this course, I have addressed issues like dry skin, burns, and sprains as well as developed a daily and weekly self-care ritual with handmade, homemade, healing herbal products that leave me feeling safe and nurtured. I am so grateful to this course for bringing self-care back to me!
- Lori Rose, Texas
“I absolutely love the structure of this course. I never got lost. I could always find what I wanted.
I love the short how-to application videos so you can just skip to exactly what you want.
Some of my other oils, sometimes they would work and sometimes they wouldn’t.
I definitely feel like with your method I’m making a more potent oil. Because this class is such a deep dive into one topic, I’m really understanding the right situations and the right times to use them, which is helping me not have that ‘hit or miss’ that I was getting with oils I made before taking this class. I love having you in my herbal education world. ”
- Emily, Washington D.C.
"The more I study oils -- fixed, carriers, infused, essentials -- the more I realize how much there is to learn! And the more I search the internet for information, the more convinced I become that there is no substitute for an expert teacher. I became interested in infused herbal oils while getting my certification as an aromatherapist from Aromahead Institute. I realized how much the infused oil can increase the efficacy of an essential oil blend, and I did a research paper on macerated herbal oils.
That increased my interest in learning how to make them properly. There are so many methods online, I knew I needed a teacher. I was lucky enough to find Kami's course. Ingredients are precious, why waste them doing it ineffectively?
Besides that, Kami is a true lover of plant medicine, and she will give you that love too. She has so much joy and passion for her art. The course is generous, there are many many lessons here, plus bonuses, resources, print outs, videos, and enough Q and A that anything you'd think of will be answered.
In my opinion that is another sign of a great teacher, she wants to share everything she has learned over decades of experience and help you become great too! Thank you Kami for this wonderful course. "
- Miriam Tassinare, Florida
"I love the process and so appreciate this class!
To date I have made 6 different infused oils and they are all beautiful oils!
The lavender is wonderful in massage as it is not as overwhelming as an essential oil can be to some people but has the therapeutic properties and definitely helps people relax.
I have been making herbal oils for 10 years or so now. And ya win some ya lose some, which stinks! Sometimes it was great and others it went rancid. Fresh plant oils were always so much better then totally dried, anytime I used totally dried the oils were colorless, did not help much other than what the oil itself was helpful for. BUT your method, what a no brainer! As soon as I started I was like wow, this is such a simple, but amazingly smart idea!! Wow, the oils are deep, rich, smell great and make the most amazing salves!!!! The calendula oil, pure gold! This class has been so valuable to me and so many others, thank you so much!
- Denise DeLosa-Howland, NY
"Thank you for everything that you put into the class and thank you for the bonus recipes for the salves! I am hoping to make the Miracle Salve recipe in time for the holidays. I love how hands on this class is and how easy it is to put the suggestions you gave into action. Last week I had a sore throat due to allergies and it really helped to massage my neck and behind my ears with herbal oils. I felt much better the next morning after doing this! Thank you for a great class "
-A. G., Austin
"I feel like I found a gold mine with this class. As a nurse, I prefer to use more natural treatments and having the oils gives me more freedom to choose something natural than chemical for muscle aches and pains and relaxation. I loved the option of being able to do this course at my own pace and be able to ask questions when I needed to. I find the herbal oils to be simple, practical and effective and now use them every day."
-Lisa, Oaklahoma
"I have so much gratitude for my herbal wise woman teacher, Kami McBride. She fed my plant medicine enthusiastic curiosity with herbal knowledge.

Kami's offerings will empower you in living vibrantly!"

-Donna Ashe, Kansas
"I wanted to thank you again for creating this class! It has been a total game changer for me in my own Naturopathic practice. I have been making infused herbal oils for about 15 years now but only the way I was taught in my Naturopathic and herbal training.
The wisdom and knowledge that you share in class and then applying the methods you teach, has made my herbal oil products so much more potent and healing. This is my goal in helping others to heal and truly get well, to give them the best products available.
Thank you so much again Kami for teaching me and for helping my clients have the best herbal oils to heal and nourish their bodies! With Love and Gratitude,"
- Rhonda Larson Naturopath, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Herbalist
"I've been making herbal infused oils for 18 years before I found this course and you opened a whole other world for me with my oils, including ways to use the oils that I had never heard of. Taking this course gave me a huge upgrade that I didn't even know was possible, thank you for such a beautiful course."
-F. Garcia, Arkansas
"I now know the biggest benefit (as you said) to making your own oils is that you end up with enough to slather yourself & others. When I decanted my last quart of St John's Wort Oil I was very messy and accidentally spilled some over the side of the jar onto the counter. Oh dear the only way to take care of the mess was to rub my hands in it and massage it into every part of my skin which wasn't covered by clothing. This is what happened: I became so in love with the euphoric aroma of the combination of fragrant olive oil and the heady scent of the St John's Wort that I felt enchanted. I thought, this is what Kami means. Ok, so that was just the beginning. I had developed a "frozen finger" from a whole week of painting my kitchen. I woke up with my finger crunched under & could not straighten it. But the morning after I had anointed my body with St Johns Wort Oil, my finger was straight, I could move it and it did not lock up again. I am hooked for life! This oil is so precious, thank you Kami for showing us how to make it. I will always think of you in gratitude when I use it or share it."
-Darlene Bernier, Idaho
"Since being in class, I’ve made all the oils for the muscle cramp salve and gave it to my father. The drugs he takes for his painful joints do not work. I suggested for him to try the salve.
After a few days he called and said, "This is really doing good to my body!" So at this time I am now running out of my oil stock stock!! Thank you so much Kami, it is so exciting learning more and getting deeper and deeper in connection with plants and nature. "
