Monday Mentoring
A community of practice for Western herbalists and herbally-minded nutritionists
next open for enrollment Late Spring 2026
You don't have to figure everything out on your own.
After you finish your formal training and begin working as an herbalist or nutritionist, it can be hard to find people who are actually in practice and who understand the type of work you do.
Even after 20+ 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.
When you join, you'll 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.
We meet every Monday to pool our collective wisdom and support one another.
How Monday Mentoring helps you serve your clients:
Monday Mentoring is designed to be as simple as possible: 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.
The way you show up may be different each week. Sometimes, you might come to a live session. Other times, you might watch a recorded live session or take one of the dozens of trainings in our webinar library.
You'll have access to any of these options (or all of them!):
My goal is to have more practitioners out in the world serving their communities in ways that are sustainable and nourishing for everyone involved. I think this is more likely to happen when we support each other.
There are 2 sessions every week:
When you join Monday Mentoring, you'll have access to both sessions every week. Pick the topics and/or times that work best for you. We meet every Monday except for US Federal Holidays. See our full (tentative) 2026 calendar.
Mondays @ Noon ET
Mondays @ 5 pm ET
Session Types
Most weeks there will be at least one Round Table and a 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: weekly
Practice Management
Bring your questions about 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: every other week or more!
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 apothecary management sessions, hosted by stascha stahl.
Frequency: every 2-3 months
Classes and Workshops
Each month, we have a deep dive lecture (usually the 2nd Monday of the month.) Our monthly bonus workshops are often classes and workshops as well, so that you can keep learning and growing as a practitioner.
Frequency: monthly+
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 2026 Supplement Deep Dive is included for the duration of your membership and costs $350 when purchased separately. The Deep Dive includes ten 1.5 hour training webinars + nutrition CEUs. See the full Supplement Deep Dive program.

Each month, we have bonus workshops that are free for Monday Mentoring members. To give you a feel for these, in early 2026 we're planning:

What Members Say:
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.
Is Monday Mentoring a fit for you?
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.
You'll fit right in if you're:
Consider alternatives if you're:
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!
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.
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.
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. Some members attend live almost every week, others rarely or never attend live and join primarily for the webinar library or recorded calls. Whatever is most helpful for you is great for us 
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're 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.
You can earn RH 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.
We open for new members in January, late spring, and September each year. 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.
