Three structured residency programs — each designed for a distinct stage of your practitioner journey. Find where you are, and we'll take you where you want to go.
Your certification gave you the foundation. LAUNCH gives you the depth. These are focused, graduate-level continuing education courses designed to expand your clinical knowledge and skills in the areas that matter most to modern integrative practice.
Pick the specialty that calls to you.
Graduate-level clinical training in digestive & microbiome health — the most in-demand specialty in nutrition.
Build a solid foundation in clinical herbalism — from botanical safety to practical application.
Evidence-based lifestyle interventions for the clinical practitioner.
Interpret standard labs with functional precision — no advanced testing required.
You're seeing clients — but you want more. More confidence in the room. More consistency in your caseload. The credentials that set you apart. GROW delivers all of it through structured functional nutrition training, live mentoring, and the clinical tools to work at a professional level.

For LAUNCH, you need a nutrition, health coaching, or integrative health certification — no client experience required. GROW is designed for practitioners already seeing clients. MASTER requires GROW graduation or equivalent clinical background and focuses on clinical herbalism, preparing you to earn the RH(AHG) credential through the American Herbalists Guild.
LAUNCH is designed for practitioners with busy schedules and takes approximately 4–6 hours per week. GROW, with its four weekly live mentoring sessions, typically requires 8–10 hours per week. MASTER is a clinically intensive herbalism residency — exact time commitments are confirmed during your discovery call.
GROW includes full preparation for the BCHN® (Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition) credential exam. MASTER prepares you to earn the RH(AHG) designation — Registered Herbalist through the American Herbalists Guild. We will confirm all credential specifics during your discovery call as requirements may vary.
Yes. GROW is designed for practitioners already seeing clients — LAUNCH completion is not a prerequisite. If you're uncertain whether GROW or LAUNCH is the right fit, our discovery call will help you self-select confidently.
Yes — all live mentoring sessions in GROW are recorded and available in the member portal. We do encourage attending live when possible, as the interactive case discussions and real-time Q&A are a significant part of the learning experience.
A residency is structured, supervised clinical training — not passive content consumption. You apply knowledge in real practice settings, receive expert mentorship, work through live case studies, and develop the career infrastructure to actually build a practice. School teaches you what to know. A residency teaches you how to practice.
Yes, payment plans are available for all three programs. Pricing details and payment options are discussed during your free discovery call. There are no contracts — we want you to enroll because the program is the right fit, not because you're locked in.
MASTER graduates join the HC alumni network with ongoing access to resources, peer support, and professional opportunities. Graduates go on to practice as registered herbalists, integrating herbal medicine into their clinical work with advanced credentials and professional confidence.
