Isle of Arran

The popular introductory Herbal Correspondence Course is now run from our herb farm on the Isle of Arran and is an excellent intro if you are interested in treating yourself or your family and also for aspiring herbal students who can use it as an access course for University entrance and to see if the profession is for them. If you decide to enrol Keith Robertson MSc. F.NIMH will be your tutor for your assignments and he has over 30 years experience in the field. We also provide regular practical Herbal Medicine classes on Arran offering herb walks, plant ID, medicine making, botanical drawing etc and these form part of our new apprenticeship programme or they can be booked separately. This site remains an archive for the Scottish School of Herbal Medicine which was founded in 1992 by Medical Herbalists Maureen and Keith Robertson F.NIMH. It rose to almost mythical status as the world’s leading School for teaching a holistic balance of traditional and modern Herbal Medicine and importantly championing an energetic approach to treatment. The School had a world first with its M.Sc. programme and many of today's practitioners benefited from its 4 year B.Sc. programme. Being externally validated rather than being part of the mainstream University system gave us the autonomy to develop courses with real heart (we developed ground breaking research methodologies such as Goethean/Contemplative Science and promoted, for instance, case series research) but in the end, as a small educational charity, we were competing at the height with 7 other Universities!! The market was essentially flooded by 3 year courses and when the recession bit student numbers dropped and we were the 3rd U.K. degree programme to have to close its doors. Intake for the Massage and Aromatherapy courses also ceased. Perhaps however, the School had achieved its main objective – to equip the world with a sizeable number of top graduates who carry traditional and modern Herbal wisdom within a working energetic framework. Many of them now teach in Herbal institutions around the world and so the fine tradition of SSHM carries on. Please see www.nimh.org.uk for further details on professional training in the U.K.

Kate is an experienced Confidence Leadership Coach and NLP Practitioner, she trains managers to have Curious Conversations and helps organisations to develop a culture that supports the Being and Doing of Leadership.   My coaching career started in 2002 when I trained to be a professional Co-Active Coach.  Coaching and the skills of effective communication is something I am passionate about and believe that everyone should learn the secrets of how to coach whether in the home or the workplace.  Having worked with businesses for may years supporting them on how to develop and grow their leadership talent, it struck me that there is still an assumption that 'leaders have to be made' rather than 'leader are everywhere'; so in 2018, I launched the Being and Doing of Leadership which considers the 5 leadership positions of Inner, Sensing, Leader in Front, Beside and Behind. In 2019 along wth a fellow Co-Active Coach we created Curious Conversations for managers to not become coaches at work, but instead to learn the skills of coaching to have Curious, Challenging, Courageous and Championing conversations at work. For me coaching is the key to Awareness, Choices and Action - something I believe everyone can discover and become the best version of themselves. Kate is an experienced Leadership and Mental Fitness Coach, and NLP Practitioner specialising in inspirational head-and-heart coaching and creating powerful, experientially based coaching training programmes.
