Sovereignty Herbs Herbal Consultations and Wellness Education, Athens, Ohio. But you are not alone...the plants are with you.

Clinical Herbalism Education & Mentorship
Herbs & Wellness Coaching with Erika Galentin MNIMH RH
Host of the Herbal Practice Connexion
At home in Athens, OH but serving and supporting an international community. Wellness is more than the absence of ill-health, it is a personal journey and state-of-mind that must be cultivated from within. We offer herbal consultations, workshops, and other education services to support, guide, and empower you all along the way...

The Herbal Practice Connexion, or HPX, is a network. Within this network there are three main spaces, or rooms where all the action will be happening…The Consultation Room, The Apothecary, and the Office & Marketing Garden. These three rooms represent the professional facets of our work as clinical herbalists.

Within each of these rooms, you will find an events calendar which thematically offers exclusive opportunities to learn about new topics by participating in specialty trainings, live monthly meetups (what I am calling Pep Talks), online workshops and seminars with special guests, and even case review sessions with your host Erika Galentin MNIMH RH.

Each of these rooms also has its own roundtable feed that functions much like the social media feeds we are all familiar with…consider the roundtable a discussion forum where you can collaborate with colleagues, share resources, seek feedback, and ask questions.

We're currently running a *free 2-week trial* for HPX! Join today for access to these unique spaces, vast living resource libraries, and so much more! Check out the 🔗 in my bio for additional info.

Is Somatics for Herbalists the course for you? Folks already in practice and advanced herbal students working towards clinic are welcome to join! If you're new to somatics you’ll get a solid introduction, while those already familiar will find value in how Larken specifically applies somatics to embodying the role of practitioner. While the focus of this series is practitioner development, the tools you learn will be valuable offerings to share with your clients and will enhance your understanding of many clinical presentations, as well.

Somatics will enliven and enrich your herbal path if you are:

🍃 A student of herbalism considering working with clients (including in non-formal ways!) and not sure you’re ready

🍃 A new practitioner discovering the ways that clinical work challenges you to grow personally

🍃 A seasoned practitioner feeling undernourished or burnt out by your practice

🍃 Any future or current practitioner wanting to feel more connected to yourself, your clients, the plants, and the land, as you do your powerful work

One definition of reliability is ‘the quality of performing consistently well’, and this definition can be troublesome, especially when as both herbalists and entrepreneurs we aught not always assess our successes and our value as a measure of ‘performance’. 🍃

06/17/2026

The journey we take as herbalists into clinical practice is complex, arduous, and filled with its own special challenges and roadblocks. Sustaining and growing our clinical practices can be equally as challenging.

The Herbal Practice Connexion or HPX was conceived and born with the sole heart-path mission of fostering a community space for clinical herbalists seeking resources and support to build and grow their clinical herbal practice. We will be gathering to share inspiration and practical experience, workshop challenges, and celebrate wins through monthly meetups, Q & A sessions, and roundtable discussions. We will also be gathering to hone our clinical, business, and marketing skills with exclusive specialty trainings, monthly accountability quests, study groups, and mentorship opportunities...all the while cultivating nurturing habits surrounding rest, reflection, and self-empathy.

Does this sound like the support and camaraderie you've been looking for? Check out the link in my bio for more on HPX, including a video all about the program, membership features, and more!

"As a practitioner for 30 years, I know the challenges that come up for many of us in our practices and in relationship with clients. For over 15 years, I’ve been teaching future practitioners and supervising clinical interns. I’ve learned a lot through watching where students and beginning clinicians get stuck, along with how to support them when they do. And, I know experienced practitioners need support, too! What I’ve found to be most helpful for myself and other practitioners is a somatic framework." -- Larken Bunce

I am learning that confidence in our work as herbal practitioners and entrepreneurs also comes from identifying areas in our knowledge base, our passions, our experience, where we feel strong and from which we can evolve.

This approach to building confidence is about focusing on our strengths (or superpowers) rather than focusing on what we lack - rather than a focus on the fear about what we don’t yet know or haven’t yet experienced.

For you, what did you learn about confidence? 🍃

🌱 My clinical education, experience, and knowledge are based in both science and tradition. Much of my herbal and clinical rationale is derived from the past and present Physiomedical philosophy, with utmost faith placed upon vix medicatrix naturae, or the healing power of nature.

What are the members saying about Herbal Practice Connexion?

☀️ “HPX has been exactly the support I've needed with my clinical practice, providing community, educational workshops, and a wealth of resources. I could not be happier with my decision to join HPX.”

☀️ “There are other herbal business communities out there, but this one by far, has more actionable deliverables, quality seasoned and knowledgeable presenters, is personable among the other members, and affordable all in one. If I am going to invest my money in a community-based membership, I want to know I am getting value out of it. HPX delivers endless value!”

☀️ “As a RN, I am used to having a community of peers to share my experiences and to ask for support. I have been really missing that as an herbalist, until I found HPX! I can feel my confidence growing with the encouragement and additional training and education I receive in this community. My practice is elevated, I am more inspired, and I feel connected to a network of peers. It has been a wonderful addition to my work and my life.”
