About this speaker
Sam Coffman (MSAOM, L. Ac., RH[AHG], W-EMT) began his medical education in the US Army as a Green Beret Medic (18D) in 1989. Over the years that followed, he dedicated himself to being able to work with botanical medicine as a successful method to provide sustainable health care in remote and post-disaster regions for chronic, acute and physical trauma care. Since that time, Sam has taught herbalism for over 30 years and has worked as a clinical herbalist for over 15 years. His herbal and acupuncture clinic/apothecary are now located in Taos, NM along with his school.
In 2007, Sam founded Herbal Medics Academy (AKA The Human Path), which offers five primary herbalism programs - Clinical Herbalism, Austere Medicine, Advanced Medicine Making, Community Herbalism and Family Herbalism. He teaches the integration of herbal medicine with both functional medicine and austere medicine together with two medical doctors who also specialize in those areas.
Sam and his wife Suchil also co-founded Herbal Medics in 2011 which is an outreach organization that gives their students and interns an opportunity to work in the field while providing free health care and education to underserved communities.
Sam is training director for Taos Search and Rescue (TSAR) and is also part of the canine search and rescue team together with his canine best friend, Lucy.
His book “Herbal Medic” has been in the top 3 best-selling books for Storey Publishing for the past 2 years.
Woodland Essence's intention & practice is to offer high quality herbal products prepared by hand from organically grown & ethically wildcrafted plants.
