Monday Mentoring
A community of practice where Western herbalists and herbally-minded nutritionists can collaborate, grow, and access our collective wisdom
Next open for enrollment late spring 2024
Clinical practice can be challenging.
After you finish your formal training, it can be hard to find people who are actually in practice and who understand the type of work you do.
Even after 15+ years of clinical practice, I have new questions every day about complicated cases, formulating, and/or the minutiae of running a practice.
I created Monday Mentoring to bring clinicians together to learn from and with each other.
As a community of practice, our focus is on bringing our hearts and minds together for the highest good of all involved so that we can more effectively serve our communities.
do you want to grow as a practitioner?
Set aside one hour a week to surround yourself with others who are consciously engaged in the same type of work and experience the power of a community-based model.
Bring your questions, your ideas, your inspiration – and get ready to evolve in ways that wouldn’t be possible on your own.
With MM I have all the support and collaboration and inspiration and collective knowledge I could ever hope for. And more. Camille shares her incredible depth of experience (as do the many other incredibly knowledgeable herbalists & nutritionists), her webinars & trainings, as well as the tools of her trade (workflows, spreadsheets, etc.).
The support is INCREDIBLE. Being a member of a group of dedicated clinical herbalists who are supportive and encouraging - and are committed to be exceptional, highly trained, growth-oriented professionals.
If you are serious about being a clinical herbalist and you know you need a supportive team to make your clinical practice a reality, THIS is the group for you.

We meet every Monday to pool our collective wisdom and support one another
How Monday Mentoring helps you serve your community:
Monday Mentoring is designed to be as simple as possible: simply show up for an hour every week. You'll have the support you need to learn, move your practice forward, and connect with other practitioners.
3 Sessions to Choose from Every week
There are 3 Monday Mentoring sessions every week. I recommend that you pick one every week, but you can attend any/all sessions. You'll be surrounded by highly-trained practitioners who are dedicated to doing this work, asking questions, and learning how to better serve their communities.
Connect via our community site
We have a community forum for members to connect between meetings, share resources, and find support. You'll have a "Question of the Week" to get the conversation started and the option to sign up for "match ups" every week or every month to get to know other members.
Participation is optional!
Deep Dive and Webinar Library Access
You'll receive live access to the 2023 Hormone Deep Dive, the 2022 GI Deep Dive recordings, as well as my full webinar library with 30+ trainings covering both clinical topics and practice management concepts like how to find clients, starting an email list, and more.
The community that has developed under the umbrella of Monday Mentoring is truly collaborative and nourishing. The benefits of our collective work and wisdom rippling out through more effectively serving our own communities and clients may be the most beautiful part of all!
Committing to a meeting every Monday night gave me pause. Like many others, I have a lot going on and time is valuable. I wanted to make sure that anything I added to my metaphorical plate was worth the investment. Fortunately, there is no long-term commitment, so I decided to see if Monday Mentoring would be beneficial (spoiler alert: totally worth the time investment!).
So much has changed since I started Monday Mentoring! I know that my practice would not be where it is if not for the time commitment. Being part of a group of people who both support me and hold me accountable helped in two ways. One, it provided an additional spark to keep me moving. Two, it helped me make sure that I was setting realistic expectations and goals for a specific time period.
I have also grown so much as a practitioner. Hearing each person's unique assessment and approach to different situations has broadened my own perspective. Having access to the collective experience and wisdom of this group is transformational! It's clear that everyone involved wants to support the highest good of each practitioner and their clients/ community. Knowledge, experience, and worries are all shared freely and respected.
If you are open to expanding your knowledge/experience as an herbalist and are willing to hold space for others to do the same, Monday Mentoring would be a wonderful fit for you; even if you feel like you might not have much to offer at first! If collaboration isn't your thing or you aren't ready to devote the time to make the most of this experience, it's probably best to pass at this time.

Session types:
We vary the session types; most weeks there will be at least one Round Table and at least one Practice Management session. Pick and choose what you attend based on your schedule and your interests.
Clinical Round Table
Do you have a challenging case that you’d love an outside perspective on? Bring it to the round table. You’ll get access to the collective experience and wisdom of other clinicians so you can consider multiple approaches. You'll also learn from hearing others' cases and contributions as well.
Frequency: one or more every week
Practice Management
These sessions cover how to manage your practice, including topics like pricing, scheduling, client challenges, and imposter syndrome. We help one another with the inevitable bumps along the road, which makes running a practice easier and less stressful.
Frequency: one or more almost every week
Apothecary Management
Running an apothecary? Need help preparing extracts, storing herbs, labeling and record-keeping? Have questions about keeping client files, shipping, processing? Bring them to our monthly apothecary management session, hosted by stascha stahl.
Frequency: once monthly
Journal Club
We all read a research article in advance and gather to discuss the study's strengths, weaknesses, and applicability to clinical practice. Improve your understanding of the literature and expand your clinical skills!
Frequency: once every other month
Also included in your Membership:

Here's what's included when you join Monday Mentoring
Don't be overwhelmed. The core of our program is this: show up once a week for an hour. Everything else is extra
The core of Monday Mentoring is our weekly gatherings, where you can ask for support with challenging cases, get help growing and running your practice, and expand your clinical skills while you learn from and with others doing this work. Aim to attend one session each week.
Access to the 2024 Nervous System Deep Dive is included in your membership and costs $350 when purchased separately.
The Deep Dive includes ten 1.5 hour training webinars + nutrition CEUs.
For the duration of your membership, you'll be able to access the webinar library, including more than 30 trainings. See the full list.

The group has been so supportive and welcoming, it's been a dream! I now have direction, focus, and support for all the unknowns and insecurities that come with starting your own practice. This is such an intelligent, sensitive, and intuitive group, and I learn from all of them every single time we meet.
The case studies and clinical observations are one of the most valuable parts of the experience - seeing how people work through challenging cases and bring new/different perspectives. MM is truly a gold mine of information and perspective!!! It's honestly "the gift that keeps on giving" with both practice information and overall knowledge. Camille makes this entire experience as special, intimate, and comfortable.
When I eventually open my own practice after becoming a CNS, I know my participation in MM will have been one of the most crucial parts to my success and ability to get there. I feel lucky and blessed every day to be a part of this group, truly.

Statement of Inclusivity
At Monday Mentoring we welcome practitioners (and clients!) from diverse backgrounds, including those from various racial/ethnic groups, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and other traditionally oppressed communities. Please bring your warmest, most welcoming, compassionate self to all of our meetings so that the space is safe for everyone. If you do not believe that Black Lives Matter, trans rights are human rights, and abortion is health care, this group is not a good fit. For the sake of the larger group, we will remove anyone who violates the community guidelines.

Monday Mentoring is a truly special community AND it's not a good fit for everyone. Use the list below to determine if Monday Mentoring is what you need at this point in your growth as a clinician. If the timing isn't right, you can always circle back later.

FAQ
Monday Mentoring is designed for advanced students and practitioners. If you're new to herbal medicine and aren't currently in practice this isn't a good fit. If you're a practicing nutritionist who's new to herbal medicine, please join us. If neither of these apply, stay on my mailing list and circle back when the time is right!
If you're an advanced nutrition student (meaning you're very close to licensure/graduation and already in practice) and/or a practicing nutritionist with some training or background in herbal medicine, that counts! If you're not sure, contact me and we can discuss.
No! Our 5 pm ET group is primarily for folks who identify as nutritionists. If you're a nutritionist, this group will be the best fit, especially during round tables. However, you are welcome to attend the other groups to get feedback from herbalists on your cases. Similarly, herbalists can attend the 5 pm ET round tables to learn from/with our nutrition crew.
While I have deep respect for herbal traditions outside my own, I am not trained or skilled in their implementation. You will likely be better off finding a mentor or program that is aligned with your training.
All sessions are recorded and posted on the MM site within 24-48 hours. We keep recordings for about 6 months, after which time they're deleted to ease our environmental impact.
We usually have between 10 and 20 people at any given session of Monday Mentoring.
You can cancel any time, using the "My Account" link at the top of every page in Monday Mentoring. I absolutely do not want you to stay in the program if it's not a good fit. No awkward phone calls or emails necessary, and no hard feelings if it's not for you!
Please wait until you are actively in clinical practice to join. You'll find that MM is the best use of your time and money when you are working with clients :). If you need help getting your practice up and running, consider signing up for the Roots course instead.
I have a scholarship for BIPOC (more here). No other scholarships are available at the moment.
Yes, you can get hours in the "Supervised Clinical Experience" category, which can count for up to 100 of your 400 hours. Please know that this is not a structured program and it is not designed specifically for people working on the RH application. You can get feedback on your cases from Camille and others in the group when you bring them to round table, but Monday Mentoring is not a formal 1:1 mentoring program. It is best used to "top off" your hours. Please keep a record of your hours associated with this program. I will happily sign off on these if needed.
Monday Mentoring does not offer formal CNS supervision, but we do have a partnership with Dr. Sherryl Van Lare, who offers a flexible and supportive program that dovetails with MM. For more information, please view details here or contact Dr. Van Lare: info@sherrylvanlare.com.
If you'd like me to let you know the next time doors are open for new members, please sign up for the waiting list here.
No worries. Don't join right now! Instead, why don't you get to know me and my work a bit first? I suggest signing up for a webinar, an herbal observation session, and/or joining my mailing list for a few months to get a feel for whether this might be a good fit. You can also contact me to set up a time to chat if you like.
Because I am still in school and not earning money from being an herbalist yet, I was very hesitant to pay the mentorship monthly fee. It felt risky to begin spending regular money on starting a business in advance of actually having a business.
My favorite thing about the group is the part that also makes me most anxious about logging in each week. I am stretched to step into herbalist identity instead of simply taking in information and trying to remember it as a student.
Here I am with other herbalists and wanting to think like an herbalist and contribute to the conversation to be supportive to the others in the group, so I actively consider cases and work with ideas for treatment to share with the others. I am actually learning to respect myself more as an up and coming professional, because I sometimes surprise myself when I have great insights to offer in a group where I would typically assume that I am not qualified to contribute.
It doesn't hurt to try it. Camille makes it easy and a non-issue to quit, so attend a few and see how it feels.
I enjoy the diversity in this group. There are herbalists from the LGBTQIAP community, herbalists of varying ages, advanced students of herbalism, long-standing professionals, and practitioners from varying areas of the world. How amazing that we can come together to help each other from so many varying experiences and perspectives.

I’m a clinical herbalist, writer, and professional plant-and-human-health nerd.
I’ve done lots of things related to those topics, from managing regulatory affairs for a small extract company to working in a naturopathic wellness center. In recent years, I’ve discovered that I really love helping people learn about plant medicine and deepen their connection with this incredible world that we all belong to.
I currently work as an adjunct faculty member and practicing clinician at the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism
