Meet Your Herbal Educators

Seraphina Capranos, DCH, RCSHom
Clinical Herbalist & Founder of The Center for Sacred Arts
Seraphina’s journey with natural medicine began with her European grandparents, who shared the traditional wisdom of herbs while gathering plants in rural Ontario. After a spinal injury in her teens, she turned to herbal and homeopathic medicine to heal herself, studying at Emerson College of Herbology, The Wise Woman Center in NY, and with healers in New Mexico. With a science background from the University of Toronto and expertise in herbal and homeopathic medicine, Seraphina brings a unique blend of academic knowledge and traditional healing to her teaching and practice. Since 2005, she has been in clinical practice and has passionately taught herbalism and homeopathy internationally, offering heart-centered, empowering classes rooted in spirit.
