*This class is geared towards advanced students and practitioners. It is included within 2026 Advanced Clinical & Assessment Skills Series, and also available for drop-in registrations here.
In this workshop, we’ll explore how to support clients who are pregnant, postpartum, and/or lactating through both physiological and spiritual/energetic lenses. We’ll discuss safety considerations, how to support clients during common pregnancy-related challenges, navigating postpartum changes, and tending to other needs that are often unmet during these life stages. Camille and Renée will share conversation and cases from our clinical practices in this practical workshop.
Meet Our Co-Teachers
Renée Camila (she/ella) is a bilingual (spanish + english) yerbera and traditional birthworker. Born and raised in San Francisco on Muwekma, Ohlone, and Ramaytush territory as the child of Nicaraguan immigrants, her practice La Yerba Buena Herbs draws from her Spanish and Indigenous (Chorotega) ancestry. Trained in Indigenous energetic herbalism by Karyn Sanders and Sarah Holmes of the Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine, Renée has been in clinical practice since 2016. Following in the footsteps of her ancestors, she is also a student of Mesoamerican Traditional Medicine (MTM) and Curanderismo. She is dedicated to the empowerment and healing offered by plant spirit medicine through a social justice lens. She offers energetic herbal consultations, traditional birth care, folk medicine for ritual use, and classes. She is also co-producer of Planting Medicine, co-director of the Now and Then Herb School, and member of the Siskiyou chapter of Seeds of Ancestral Renewal (SOAR). (Photo by Cate Clother)

Camille Freeman, DCN, RH(AHG), has been working with clients as a clinical herbalist and nutritionist since 2003, with a focus on fertility, pregnancy, and menstrual health. Her clinical work is guided by her background in physiology, along with a belief in the power of incremental change: starting small, listening closely, and helping clients make changes that actually last. A teacher at heart, Camille spent nearly 17 years teaching physiology and pathophysiology at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. One of her strengths is breaking down complex concepts into clear, practical points that clinicians can actually use. She now brings that same approach to Monday Mentoring, her community of practice for herbalists and nutritionists, as well as her continuing-education programs, like this Deep Dive. Camille holds a doctorate in clinical nutrition from MUIH (now part of Notre Dame of Maryland), along with master’s degrees in herbal medicine (MUIH) and physiology (Georgetown University). She also hosts the podcast In the Clinic with Camille and is the author of Write Better Newsletters: Grow Your 1:1 Practice with Emails People Actually Want to Read.
