Master One Practitioner Skill at a Time.
A growing collection of self-study workshops, clinical resources, & practitioner trainings designed to help you develop one competency at a time.
Every resource is built to strengthen your journey toward practitioner mastery.
For generations, the knowledge of our bodies, our plants, and our medicine was disrupted, dismissed, and separated from the communities that carried it.
Yet that wisdom was never lost.
Across cultures and generations, ancestral healing traditions have continued to live in families, communities, and the land itself.
The Institute of Ancestral Medicine exists to restore that lineage of knowledge by training a new generation of Black and Indigenous Practitioners of Color to study herbal medicine with both scientific rigor and ancestral reverence.
Through structured education and professional certification, students develop the knowledge and clinical understanding required to practice Ancestral herbal medicine responsibly and serve their communities with integrity.
We Were Never Meant to Depend on Systems That Were Never Designed for Us

Every lesson, assessment, and clinical experience inside the Ancestral Herbalist Certification™ is intentionally designed to develop exceptional practitioners, not just knowledgeable herbalists.

"The Certification Program meticulously curated by Anuuma has been the literal answer to my prayers."
I had experienced my first pregnancy which resulted in miscarriage. I felt lost & broken. I asked Spirit for guidance & not long after, I received the email invitation to apply to join the program. I knew it was exactly what I needed. The program begins with deep initiation which includes lots of self reflection. After making the commitment to seriously go through initiation, I was able to learn my experience with conception, pregnancy & then loss was a spiritual lesson. I needed to learn to mother myself prior to becoming a mother. Once I completed initiation, Anuuma coached me through a 30 juice fast which completely cleansed me physically & mentally. Anuuma helped me to strengthen my body by recommending herbal infusions which in turn healed me from chronic anemia & resulting in me successfully & confidently carrying and naturally birthing my baby girl in the comfort of my home. Anuuma teaches her students that we possess the power to heal ourselves, heal our loved ones & heal the world! She shows us all the ways that we are able to live the lives of our dreams. Anuuma has held my hand through leaving my job & creating a growing business. I’m so grateful to have been selected as a student of this program. It’s truly invaluable.

"Life Changer"
So everyday at least once a day my yoni would get super irritated. I would feel like my vulva was on fire. Gyno doesn't know what the problem is .. as no test shows signs of anything.
It was becoming a real problem for me. And then I found this oil along with the wash. And they have worked miracles for me. As long as I use them both daily I have no pain and no irritation. Thank you Anuuma. For as long as you keep making these products I'll keep purchasing them

"This oil is amazing"
I ordered two bottles of it along with the Queen's Wash, right before the "holidays" and received my order quickly. The oil itself has transformed my yoni. I've had recurrent BV after every menstrual cycle, and after about two weeks of consistent use, the vaginal odor I had disappeared!! I've been so self conscious about my little problem, and was fed up with having to go to my gyno for Flagyl refills. This product has made my life so much better, it feels good to have found a natural remedy for my recurrent issue, that not even my doctors could fix. Thank you so much Ashley!!!
I will continue to order this product, along with the other personal care items I've gotten from you, I love them so much, and they make me feel wonderful knowing that they're safe, and free from carcinogens and other chemicals that may harm my health. Please don't sleep on Anuuma, or holistic healthcare in general. Before there were pills and creams, there was/is Mother Nature! :)
Our Medicine Wheel Mission
To advance healthcare through ancestral medicine by educating exceptional practitioners who bring root-cause medicine, clinical excellence, and compassionate care back to the communities that need it most.
Our Mission
Our mission is to restore ancestral medicine by preparing practitioners who create lasting change for themselves, their families, and the communities they serve.
Through rigorous education rooted in ancestral wisdom, clinical excellence, and ethical practice, we exist to help cultivate a new generation of practitioners committed to three enduring outcomes:
01.
Break generational curses
Healing begins with the practitioner. By reclaiming ancestral knowledge, confronting inherited patterns, and leading with integrity, our graduates become catalysts for generational healing within themselves, their families, and the communities they serve.
02.
eradicate generational diseases
We believe chronic disease is not inevitable. By equipping practitioners to address root causes rather than symptoms, we are restoring ancestral approaches to health that support lasting wellness across generations.
03.
build generational wealth
Ancestral medicine deserves to sustain the people who practice it. We prepare practitioners to build ethical, thriving Ancestral Medicine Practices™ that create freedom, prosperity, and legacy for their families and communities.
