The Arukah Holistic Healer Certification
Become the healer your family and community turn to.
A self-paced certification in naturopathic herbalism, holistic life coaching and online business & marketing, taught by Mayim Vega and rooted in the Creator.
What is the Arukah Holistic Healer Certification?
The Arukah Holistic Healer Certification is a self-paced online program, taught through video lessons, documentaries and books you can read or listen to, that trains students in naturopathic herbalism, holistic life coaching, and online business & marketing. Most students finish in about a year. Graduates receive a dual certification as a Naturopathic Herbalist and Holistic Coach.
This is not a casual wellness course
There are many wellness courses online. Some teach herbs. Some teach nutrition. Some teach mindset, coaching or business. Most of them give you scattered pieces of information, but they don't train you to think like a healer.
Healing rarely works one piece at a time. Mayim learned that through her own migraines and thyroid crisis: real restoration involved nutrition, herbs, rest, emotions, relationships and faith together. Arukah means complete, enduring restoration in Hebrew. That's what this certification trains you to support.
What does the Arukah certification teach?
Three pillars. One complete training.
Take all three for the complete certification, or begin with the pillar you need most. Each one can be taken on its own.
Pillar 1
Naturopathic Herbalism
Health foundations and avoiding toxins, diet and orthomolecular nutrition, and the herbal traditions of the master healers.
