We Build Good Health at Home
Self Paced Certificates Online
What’s This All About?
Extraordinary circumstances are impacting people: flooding, blizzards, power outages, fires, smoke, extreme heat, lack of clean water, contagious illness, injury, short term unavailability of medical services. This is in addition to everyday selfcare needs. We sure can’t look after everything at home – but for what we CAN safely prevent and repair for ourselves and those we love – people, animals, plants – let’s do it!
Healthy self reliance is a choice. Enroll. Skill up. Help yourself first. Then help others.

Who is the ideal
Self Care
Knowledge Keeper
for you and
those you love?
Is it you? Or your cousin or grandma or son-in-law, or your neighbor who helps everyone? Who has some time to study and an interest in health? Who has the clarity of mind and generosity of spirit to be the self care knowledge keeper for your bunch? Talk it over. Choose who can take this on for those within the circle of your care. Healthy self reliance is a choice. Enroll. Skill up. You can’t help others unless you help yourself first.
Our 20-45 minute classes are short on jargon and long on practical takeaways. We focus on what you need to know. Your study is self paced, so you can jump in and out as you need to… because life happens, every day, week, month and year.
Complete the certificates that interest you. Stay as long as you like. Learn what you want while your subscription renews each month. End your subscription at any time to cancel future months.
Each certificate represents a skill set, with training that includes classes, learned action guides, and quizzes. You’ll be learning and using your new skills all along the way! Finish up, then print your certificate. For adult learners, certificate programs help you focus, and nudge you to complete each “chunk” of learning. We all like to be awarded for our careful work!
With bite sized weekly classes you’ll soak up the skills without the overwhelm! Consider your available time as you choose which of our three enrollment levels is best matched for you and those you love. Each week there will be 1 new lesson made available for each program you have selected for enrollment.
Each certificate includes about 12 – 16 hours of training. Let’s do some math on that: A 12 hour certificate with 24 half hour weekly sessions would be done in about 4-6 months. Timing is a bit different for each program. And your timing will vary too. There is no deadline pressure here, just an opportunity for healthy self reliance!
Everyday people who want to learn safe and effective self care for themselves and those within the circle of their care – family members, loved ones, even pets! Healthy Self Reliance(SM) programs are open to all adults (over 18) who would like to develop self care skills.
Plan for about 35-60 minutes per lesson each week to view the lessons, make notes about using these self care skills in your own situation, and try out what you are learning. Weave this time into your day – watch videos as you cook a meal, fold laundry, clean the bathroom, wait for an appointment to begin, or as you carve out some quiet, focused time for yourself each week.

These are online, on-demand learning programs in self care. For access, you’ll need a device (smart phone, tablet, computer) and internet access with enough bandwidth to stream videos and the capability to download and store or print .pdf documents. There are also self care supplies for your home that are discussed within the programs, such as homeopathic medicines for the Homeopathy for Me & Us, and salt or clay for the Kitchen Medicine program.
Nope. All of our video lessons are organized on the Vimeo platform to ensure safe, bug-free, reliable and speedy access for you using your device wherever you are connected to the web. We don’t download videos, or sell them on disc or other format. You will be able to download the lesson .pdf documents.
Access will end when the subscription ends. We encourage you to download the .pdf lesson guides for classes you take so that you will always have them for your own reference, even if you are no longer subscribed.
If you need a break, you can cancel for a while. When you come back later, all of your previously completed lessons will be there for you, and you can pick up from where you left off.
Nope. We do hope that you will share your newly learned skills with your friend, but the subscriber login is just for your use. To share it is a violation of the terms and conditions of the HUB. Instead, you can invite your friend to subscribe, and you can study together.
Every lesson includes a video to stream on your device, focused on practical “how to” so that you can quickly use what you are learning. Downloadable .pdf documents such as a summary page, ‘next steps’ or workbook are included with many lessons. Further study resources are shared so that you can dig into topics that interest you. Lesson videos are 20-45 minutes, depending on the topic and presenter.
Our presenters are professionals with a passion for self care. They use these approaches for themselves and teach it to clients and students. We imagine how different everyday life could be – personally, professionally, socially, politically, economically – if people were able to improve health for themselves and their loved ones, at home! Our training lessons are filled with practical advice, useful resources, and positive encouragement. You can see details about our presenters here.
No problem. These self paced programs match your availability. Each week new lessons are added to your training page, ready when you are. We understand that life happens, and the program is set up for adult learners to step in and out as needed. Catch up when you can. We’ll wait, and be here when you are ready.
Not with lessons, but there are additional self-study materials are available any time. Lessons are served up once weekly, so future lessons are not available. The weekly schedule helps you onboard the practical know-how without getting overloaded, and helps you coordinate learning between programs. If you have extra time, jump into the additional resources provided with the programs.
Certificates help adult learners stay on track. Many of us have great goals that just did not happen… life got busy or we got distracted. Our certificate programs build specific self help skill sets. They help stage the studies into basic, intermediate and proficient levels within each program.
Yes. Quizzes help you verify your understanding. Each certificate has quizzes at appropriate check-in points and again at the end of the lesson series. Questions are focused on the major take-aways, not minor details. As you pass each quiz with an 80% or better score, you confirm your skill set.
This varies by program, and by your availability for each week’s 20-45 minute lessons. You will be able to download and print your personalized certificate immediately after the final quiz for the program. A certificate with 12 – 16 hours of training will take about 16-30 weeks, or 4-7 months.
Nope. The programs are not set up for this. Some of the material may be a helpful review, and some is likely to be new. If you are a professional healthcare student, perhaps our HUB’s professional subscription is a better match.
Probably so. There is nothing secret or proprietary in our programs. You might do it yourself, but we believe we can improve your learning and success in self care:
- Practical focus: Our practical “how to” from experienced teachers keeps you on track with what works
- Accurate / Reliable: We filter out myth as we share accurate, relevant skills, without an overload of jargon
- Organized: We structure building blocks of skills for you to apply quickly at home
- Safe: We provide reasonable safety checks so that you recognize what is safe for home and what needs professional help

Basic, intermediate and proficient certificates each include about 12 hours of training.
Be Part of A Growing Grass Roots Trend to Empower Health at Home
“… patterns of health are created in ‘the interaction between environments and people in the course of everyday life …. in the individual, the family, the community, the nation and the globe’… the current perspective does not take into account how infectious disease fits in to the wider concept of ‘health’ or wellbeing, nor does it look at the possibility of infectious disease programmes, whether in emergency or normal situations, being involved in the ‘creation of health’ within the health system. It does not therefore emphasise the social determinants of disease. This is an area where the 4th tier has a contribution to make… training communities in following self-help products and practices for immunity modulation and disease prevention.“ (Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine 13 (2022) 100354)
