Healing Harvest Homestead, LLC, founded by Heidi Villegas, is home to the School of Botanical Arts & Sciences (SOBAS), where students all over the world learn Christian herbalism, aromatherapy, and practical family and community herbalism skills. We teach students to become their family and community’s trusted herbalist. We are a leading Christian herbalism and aromatherapy education website and school for families who want practical, safe instruction through courses, mentorship, and community.

Disclaimer: I (Heidi) am not a medical doctor. I am an herbalist, aromatherapist, and natural health advocate. Herbs saved my life, and I help others learn about their incredible benefits so they can use them for their own health and wellness. With that said, I encourage anyone with health issues to discuss the use of herbs and essential oils with their medical team. We do not diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any illness, and all content is for informational purposes only. No statement has been evaluated by the FDA, and they want me to let you know this.
