Heidi Villegas, MA, CA, Herbalist

Heidi Villegas is the founder of Healing Harvest Homestead and the School of Botanical Arts & Sciences (SOBAS), where she teaches practical, actionable herbalism and aromatherapy for families who want to become more confident, capable, and self-sufficient in caring for health needs. As a clinical herbalist, aromatherapist, author, homesteader, and long-time teacher, Heidi brings together traditional plant wisdom, modern safety practices, and clear, practical education that helps students become their family and community’s trusted herbalist.

Through her courses, writing, and online community, Heidi has helped thousands of students learn how to build useful home apothecaries, make effective herbal preparations, and understand and work effectively with herbs and essential oils. Her work is rooted in the belief that families can reclaim much of the practical health wisdom that people used to have by building the skillset of herbal medicine.
