"This course has been life-altering in so many ways. I feel dramatically empowered in taking care of my own health and inspired to support others in theirs. It was soothing and beautiful to watch, informative and inspiring. Everything was very well covered. I loved the bonus live video lectures and the herbal hangout sessions, they made me feel a part of a community."
— Philma Scheepers from Coquitlam, BC, Canada
"Very organized. Very educational. The textbooks are beautiful. Very impressed. I have always wanted to study at PRC—it has been a dream, so I took advantage of this chance to learn from very grounded, practical, passionate teachers. Learning how to formulate products was very worthy for me. Thank you soo much. I'm looking forward to putting forth this wealth of knowledge into practice."
