Welcome to The Home Healer Course.

This space is your self-paced sanctuary for inner healing, sacred reciprocity and the everyday magic of herbal alchemy. The Home Healer is a hands-on, heart-led course, guiding you through the foundations of traditional folk herbal medicine-making.

Rooted in ancient wisdom yet grounded in everyday simplicity, it is designed to be practiced right from your own kitchen bench. This journey will deepen your confidence, awaken your clarity and strengthen your connection to yourself, your home and the plants you walk beside.

May you remember what is already living within you, and may you find that the path you seek is one you never truly left.

Mia Frédérique

Founder of Mothertree

Kia ora, I’m Mia. I am a Mother, Herbalist, Artist, and the Visionary Founder of Mothertree. I live by the mantra “Let Nature Lead You”, a guiding principle that has become the heart of Mothertree. It is a reminder to trust the wisdom of the natural world, to listen deeply to its rhythms, and to follow its gentle guidance in all that we do.

This philosophy shapes how I create, how I connect with the plants, and how I invite others to reconnect with their true essence. In embracing nature’s wisdom, we find clarity, healing, and a deeper sense of belonging. My work is crafted with love and purpose, grounded in the land I walk, here in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

I offer deep reverence to tangata whenua Māori, honouring the original kaitiaki and custodians of these lands.

What you’ll learn

  • Healing your home begins with harmonising your inner landscape.


    In this foundational series, you’ll learn to bridge the sacred with the practical through the art of balancing giving and receiving.

    Before stepping into the deeper realms of our herbal alchemy modules, this is where you root yourself into strong, clear foundations.
    Through guided meditation, visualisation practices and prompted journalling sessions, you’ll strengthen your connection to your intuition and cultivate the inner clarity and self-trust needed to become the healer of your own home.

  • Learn how to form a bond with a plant and welcome it as an ally. Step into the realm of plant spirit medicine where healing is rooted not only in the physical body, but in relationship, trust and deep presence with spirit.

    Here, you’ll explore how to listen to a plant, interact with its spirit, and understand the subtle ways it communicates. Through guided practices, intuitive exercises, and gentle ritual, you’ll build a living connection that supports you in both your inner and outer worlds..

  • Deepen your understanding of whole-plant medicine as you craft pure, clean, essential-oil–free remedies. Here you’ll learn how to work with plants in their most honest, unstripped state, honouring their full spectrum of healing without additives or isolates, and creating medicine that is gentle, powerful and rooted in integrity.

    Learn the art of harvesting, drying and storing plants in a way that protects their potency, spirit and shelf-life.

    Explore three different oil infusion and extraction methods, each offering its own rhythm, depth and medicine. You’ll understand not only how to create them, but why you might choose one method over another.

    Discover the subtle yet important differences between salves and balms, their textures, purposes and even energetic qualities.
