Beverly McFarland is a New Mexico herbalist in the traditional sense: she has a deep connection to the natural world and knows just where to look in the garden, forest or field for healing plants. She knows how to gather these plants with reverence and respect, and how best to apply them to the body. She can help you understand what you need to stay healthy, then support you in applying this understanding.
Certified herbalist
Beverly earned her Clinical Herbalist certification through Michael Moore’s Southwest School of Botanical Medicine in 1993 and Dr. Tieraona Low Dog’s New Mexico Herb Institute in 1994. Rather than practicing in a clinical setting, she finds her greatest joy in the medicinal plants themselves, either in her own garden or in the greater garden of nature.
Herbal medicine classes
Most of Beverly’s courses are taught outdoors, with the plants of New Mexico. She gives you the opportunity to learn about and from the plants directly, deepening your inner wisdom and intuition along the way.
Things your course may include, but are not limited to:
- Plant identification
- Classification of herbs by action
- Body systems
- Symptoms of imbalance
- Medicine-making
- Herbal remedy gardens
- Resources for herbs and equipment
Beverly offers four courses on the herbs of New Mexico and the Southwest, catering to all levels of interest and experience.
