A real person with real experience who will set you on the right path, offer guidance, reassurance and share the know-how. A passionate teacher who will encourage you along the way and save you tens of hours of research browsing the internet and reinventing the wheel.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
FULL CRAFT vs. HERBAL SKIN CRAFT
While Herbal Skin Craft focuses on general skin care making concepts and delivers meticulously researched encyclopedic information you can easily refer to, Full Craft sharpens your skin care making skillset, allowing you to zoom in on one particular herbal formula.
WHO ARE YOU
STUDENTS
Full Craft is particularly suited to everyone who took part (or considers to participate) in my signature offering of Herbal Skin Craft. While the two offerings are designed to complement each other, it does not matter in what order you participate in them (or if at all you partake in both of them). For Full Craft I recommend you having at least some basic experience or keen interest in herbal skin care making. I specialize in teaching naturopaths, clinical and folk herbalists, skin care formulators and aestheticians.

Love letter from a happy client
Wonderful mentor
"Your knowledge and experience are truly second to none, and it's clear that you are passionate about what you do. The care you took in ensuring we fully understood all that we discussed and created together made a world of difference. Your patience and attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and I appreciate the way you made the process not only educational but also enjoyable. Thank you for being such a wonderful mentor and partner in this journey!"
Amy - Formulation client
Hello, I am Kaja!
I am a herbalist with a formal background in European-style pharmacy (MPharm) and science (analytical chemistry PhD). I revel in presenting knowledge from practical perspectives. As an experimental philosopher in the middle of an (mis)information crisis, I tend the middle ground tediously sprawled between two inviting extremes. I endeavour to share accurate and to-the-point information rooted in traditional herbalism and underpinned by cosmetic science.
I delivered invited talks at Australian universities on the topic of Herbal Skin Care.
Most importantly, the past 8 years have seen me crafting herbal skin care following the principles of pharmaceutical compounding and traditional herbalism. My herbal skin care has won prestigious industry awards and most importantly helped clients whose skin was going through literal & metaphorical rough patches.
Now I would like YOU to be able to do the same with the confidence both you and your community & clients deserve!

Frequently Asked Questions
Full Craft delivers transparent guidance on both formulation AND making of a herbal skin care product, INCLUDING the herbal extracts it contains. It combines comprehensive description, practical visuals (selection of photographs and / or short pre-recorded videos), and written resources in a live format. This means you have the opportunity to ask question directly at the source + discuss with other course participants. Full Craft is an interactive, explorative and very unique offering.
Absolutely! My courses combine knowledge and experience from several disciplines, including pharmaceutical compounding, cosmetic chemistry and herbalism. I pride myself on presenting information from refreshing perspectives and making it relevant for your practice.
No! While previous experience of herbalism or skin care making is advantageous, you don't need a degree in naturopathy or herbalism. Many of my students are home herbalists, making herbal remedies for themselves and their community. To take part in my courses I recommend to have, as a minimum, keen interest and basic experience with the making of either skin care or herbal medicine.
