The Wellness Centre was cofounded by Jasmyn Clift in 1997 and is likely the largest low-barrier herbal medicine clinic in North America. Over time, the Wellness Centre has grown from a humble but passionate herbal department to include other modalities such as acupuncture, holistic nutrition, craniosacral therapy, bodywork, counselling, and energy work.
Annually, it provides over 500 herbal appointments, and donates more than $30,000 in herbs. For those living in poverty with a long term illness, this ability to remain on personalized herbal formulas, regardless of cost, is life-changing.
The Wellness Centre herbal department maintains a large organic and ethically sourced herbal apothecary with over 300 tinctures, dried herbs, honey and glycerin extracts, salves and creams, and flower remedies. According to our network of ethical small scale suppliers and wild-crafters, it is the largest Western Herbal apothecary in Canada.
The Wellness Centre is almost entirely paid for by the sale of medical Cannabis through the BC Compassion Club Society, the longest-running Cannabis dispensary in North America. Fees from the Supervised Clinic student program go directly to help support the clinic and our goal of providing high quality, accessible herbal health care.
Eligible students will have graduated successfully from both the Wild Seed School Intermediate Program and Advanced Case Study, or a similar program elsewhere. An excellent Materia Medica of Western plants, as well as a solid understanding of anatomy and physiology, and a sufficient understanding of pathology and formulation, will be required.
