Why Herbalists Must Charge More: Going Beyond a Living Wage

There’s a quiet, persistent message so many of us carry: that healing should come from the heart... and the heart doesn’t charge. But here’s the truth we need to sit with—you can’t pour from an empty cup. If you’re an herbalist, or on the path to become one, the idea of making good money doing this work might feel like a distant dream. But it’s not just possible—it’s essential.

And yes, we’re talking real numbers: six figures and beyond.

Breaking the Myth: Herbalism Isn't a Hobby

If you’ve ever hesitated before sending that invoice… or felt uneasy quoting your rates… this video is your mirror. Herbalism is deep, sacred work, but that doesn’t mean it’s unpaid labor. You’re not just blending teas—you’re holding space, translating symptoms, bridging gaps the medical system can’t touch.

When you become an herbalist, you step into a lineage of care, yes—but also into a world that demands boundaries, strategy, and sustainability.

You’re not charging for your time. You’re charging for your knowledge.
Your training, your hours of study, your lived experience—all of that has value. More importantly, you have value.

How Much Should You Charge as an Herbalist?

In the video, I share how I shifted from burnout to balance, from “how can I give more?” to “how can I serve deeply and sustainably?” That pivot changed everything in my herbalism business.

But here’s the piece most folks miss:
You can’t help others fully when you’re financially stressed.

And here’s the deeper truth:
📉 Undercharging leads to resentment.
📈 Raising your rates leads to resilience.

You Don’t Need to Struggle to Serve

Too many herbalists feel they have to “give back” before they’ve built stability. But what if reaching back too early is what’s keeping you stuck?

That’s the shift this video walks you through. It’s not about abandoning your purpose—it’s about anchoring in it so deeply that you can serve without draining yourself.

If you’re looking to become an herbalist, or you’re already in it and wondering why it still feels so hard… there’s a reason. And a solution.

I lay out both in the video.
