The Herbal Way
Alternative Medicine
Junior Herbalist Club
Hello........
My name is Filiz and I qualified as a medical herbalist in 1994 in the UK. I have a Diploma in Phytotherapy - herbal medicine; Diploma in Science: Certificate in counselling. I have 28+ years experience and successfully practised in health clinics in London and practising here in Melbourne.
My passion in science and alternative medicine has also allowed me to teach and work with health consultants in various training clinics. I continued my passion to help students in understanding medical herbalism and explore the process of making herbal mixtures / creams, tablets and capsule formulas.
I am proud to announce that i have explored this passion further to work with children and i have completed the Junior Herbalist Club leader course. I will be commencing JHC course teaching in February 2024. Classes will be based in North/West Melbourne, Victoria.
JHC has been designed to engage and educate children through play to learn about the healing and medicinal plants all around them in a safe and supervised environment, whilst covertly incorporating core subjects including English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Botany, Latin and Cookery, as well as helping children to gain in confidence, improve fine motor control and develop a new skill set. Each month the children learn about the medicinal uses of plants and make something to take home (lavender bags, lip balms, bath bombs and much more!!) JHC is proudly supported by NIMH UK and NHAA in Australia. This is a 2 year course with 10 monthly sessions for 1st and 2nd year.
