Learn the healing wisdom of plants — for the dog you call family.
Self-paced online courses from Clinical Canine Herbalist Erica Marie Coston, created to help you care for your dog with confidence, calm, and a closer bond. Because when your dog thrives, the whole household feels it.
You love your dog like family. You just want to know where to begin.
“Your well-being is greatly impacted by your dog’s health, and your dog’s health is dependent on your well-being.”
— Erica Marie Coston
- You’re curious about herbs and natural supplements, but the conflicting advice online leaves you unsure what’s safe.
- You already use some natural products and want to know you’re choosing quality, dosing properly, and not overdoing it.
- Your dog has an everyday concern you keep circling back to, and you’d love a calmer, more informed way to support them.
- You sense that your own stress shows up in your dog — and you’d like you both to feel more grounded.
- You want to work alongside your vet, not against them, with a gentle, whole-body perspective.

Erica’s approach weaves traditional plant wisdom and energy work with a growing body of research on the human–animal bond and the nervous system — always as support for, never a substitute for, veterinary care.
Hi, I’m Erica Marie.
My path to becoming a Dog Herbalist began with my soul-dog, Thor. When herbs and daily energy work helped transform his wellbeing, I saw firsthand what happens when a dog thrives: the entire household feels it.
Today I help dogs and their humans reconnect with the healing wisdom of plants and the gentle balance of energy. These courses distill what I share in consultations into something you can learn at home, at your own pace, with your dog right beside you.

- Master Animal Reiki Practitioner, practicing since 2017
- 5+ years apprenticing with herbalist Rita Hogan; studies at the Holistic School of Living
- Member, United Plant Savers
Green Peace and Dog Love, Erica Marie
From the Dog Herbalist family
Because of Erica, our dog Beanie is doing 1000% better… I cannot thank Erica enough. She has helped Beanie tremendously and inspired me to learn more about the incredible powers of plants.
We have a very strong bond and I know he feels the things I do… Max and I felt even closer after the session. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a special bond with their fur baby!
