Elaine and John have been teaching about herbs since After founding Meadowsweet Herbs a retail and manufacturing herb company and owning it for 18 years, Elaine and John were ready to move on to their greatest passion: full time teaching.
Our herb programs range in content to classes for beginners seeking basic knowledge about how to help themselves and loved ones to advanced programs for students that want to practice herbalism as a vocation. Green Path strives to inspire and empower students to connect to the earth, the plants and their own healing process. Over the years, Green Path has had many amazing students graduate from its programs.
We like to think of ourselves as creating a ripple, and see our students carrying the art and science of herbal healing out into their communities and further into the world. The author of several books on herbal medicine and healing, clinical herbalist Elaine Sheff has been passionate about sharing herbal knowledge for over 30 years.
Elaine is the Co-Director of Green Path Herb School, located in Missoula, Montana, where she strives to inspire and empower students and clients to remember their connection to the earth, the plants, and their own healing process.
She is a professional member of the American Herbalist Guild and teaches workshops, and at conferences, both nationally and internationally. As a certified Instructor of the Natural Family Planning and Fertility Awareness Methods, Elaine has helped many couples to avoid or achieve pregnancy naturally. Elaine has written for publications including the Journal of Medicinal Plants and their Applications, Mamalode, and Aromaculture magazine.
