Practitioner Offerings

Learn, deepen your skills and stay inspired.

Goulds offers a range of professional education opportunities, whether you’re an experienced practitioner looking to deepen your knowledge and find fresh inspiration, or a new graduate wanting to build confidence in practice, we’d love to share and connect.

Learn alongside experienced naturopaths, herbalists, researchers, educators, growers and medicine makers, with education that brings together traditional herbal knowledge, research-informed practice and practical clinical experience.

Choose from comprehensive courses, webinars, mentoring and hands-on learning opportunities. Whether you learn best one-to-one with a mentor, exchanging ideas with a group of curious practitioners, or getting your hands on the herbs themselves, there are opportunities to continue learning in a way that works for you.

Herbal and Naturopathic Skills Expansion Program

Immerse yourself with the Herbal & Naturopathic Skills Expansion Program — a 10-week online course designed to inspire, educate and reconnect practitioners with practical grassroots healthcare and research-informed clinical practice. Learn from experienced naturopaths including Dr Jason Hawrelak, Dawn Whitten, Belinda Robson, Daniel Robson and the Goulds team, alongside herbal medicine farmer Greg Whitten with over 40 years experience. Through weekly lectures, live Q&As, quizzes and practical insights from a working clinic, apothecary, manufacturing and farm environment, participants will deepen their understanding of natural medicine while gaining practical clinical skills, prescribing insights and critical thinking tools. Herbal samples are included to support hands-on learning, with optional placements available for a few engaged practitioners.

Community Offerings

Join the Goulds Natural Medicine Team for accessible, informative education designed to help you learn more about herbs, food, natural medicine and your health and wellbeing.

Our community offerings bring natural medicine beyond the apothecary through herb walks, workshops, talks, webinars and other hands-on learning opportunities.

Come along to discover the plants growing around you, learn practical skills you can use at home, ask questions and connect with the knowledge held within plants, people and place.

Herb Walks

An invitation to see familiar places with new eyes and deepen your relationship with the local landscape and plants. We’ll learn how to identify common “weeds” and herbs, traditional uses and medicinal and nutritional qualities. Many plants have long histories as food and medicine, quietly thriving alongside us. We would love to share how you can also benefit from these plants in a safe informative way. Our herb walks are perfect for curious beginners, nature lovers, herbal enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to feel more connected to place.
