Marie Jéraldine Pierre-Graham is a Vitalist Herbalist, trained Chef, and botanical formulator, and the creator of Mayblossom Botanicals.
She completed Footprints in Medical Herbalism, a 348-hour, project-oriented program delivered through a flipped classroom model with 192 online lecture hours and 156 certified independent study hours through the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism (NAIMH). This program granted her dual Vitalist Herbalist certification through both ACORN School of Herbal Medicine and the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, establishing her foundation in Western vitalist principles, Materia Medica, and case-based study.
Jéraldine is currently advancing through her second program, Advanced Herbalism in the Vitalist Tradition, a 457-hour NAIMH-certified training path that prepares herbalists for future clinical residency and practitioner work. This pre-clinical stage emphasizes full client intake skills, vitalist assessment, chronic disease pattern analysis, formulation strategy, and peer-review case write-ups for faculty evaluation. Her training continues to follow NAIMH’s flipped curriculum, guided by the teachings and clinical frameworks of Paul Bergner and delivered by faculty educator Heather Luna.
To expand her botanical science fluency, Jéraldine is also completing select online courses in functional phytochemistry and herbal constituents with Lisa Ganora, a globally recognized educator in botanical chemistry and author of Herbal Constituents. This coursework strengthens her understanding of plant compounds, extraction dynamics, synergy, and formulation precision—bridging traditional herbal energetics with modern phytochemical knowledge for clinicians, medical herbalist, formulators, pharmacists and medicine makers.
Jéraldine is also engaging with coursework through Mederi Academy, incorporating the Mederi Care/ETMS triphasic model as a complementary framework to support her long-term clinical preparation and formulation strategy.
Herbal Practice & Client Support
Jéraldine works with clients from a foundation in Western Vitalist Herbalism and botanical formulation. Her client support emphasizes education, therapeutic pattern recognition, and nourishment-centered wellness strategies, helping individuals build confidence and fluency in engaging with herbs and whole-food nourishment. Her work is guided by training, formulation integrity, and respect for plant tradition, without positioning her role as medical diagnosis, cure, or replacement for conventional care.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Jéraldine’s work and the offering of Mayblossom Botanicals.
