Meet Your Instructor
Patrice is an herbalist and the founder of Roots Herbal Academy. Originally, Roots was an apothecary, but along her journey, she discovered her true passion: educating others. Patrice is dedicated to teaching people how to take control of their health and well-being. Her own struggles with anxiety and depression, which began at the age of 14, led her to start this journey. At that time, she was diagnosed and put on medication, and she felt a deep sense of embarrassment. Mental health wasn't as openly discussed then as it is today, and Patrice shares her story to let others know they are not alone and that there is hope.
Let students speak for us!
Learned so much!
T.W.
This tea class was amazing! Ilearned so much and I'm excited to get more knowledge. Patrice broke everything down to make sure we understoof what categories certain herbs go in. The kit alone was extremely personable and just what I needed. Again, this was helpful and will continue to support and take her classes.
Loved this class!

This was a great class for beginner tea users! Patrice was very friendly and informative. The tea kit was personalized for every individual and she reviewed all the material inside to ensure we understood what each herb was used for! She was very patient in answering questions. I learned so much and I am excited to start tea blending.
