Evidence-based. Hands-on. Products you actually need.
Every class at the Botanical Lab is built around published research, usually our own. At the lab, you'll not only make something; you'll know exactly why and how it works.
Three formats, limitless options.
Every class includes all materials. Pricing varies by subject.
One topic, one or two products, all the evidence behind them. A good first class or regular habit.
A deeper dive into the research and formulation science. More products, more conversation with Dr. Cavanaugh.
Comprehensive workshops covering a full topic area. For practitioners or experts building a clinical toolkit.
All classes are based on published research. When Dr. Cavanaugh says something works, she has a citation behind it. When there is not, she says so.
What is on the schedule
New classes added monthly. Join the Inner Circle or get on the email list for early access before classes open to the public.
No upcoming events at the moment. Check back soon or join the Inner Circle for early access when new classes are added.
Dr. Cavanaugh teaches the Signature Classes herself. Every one.
Harvard-trained, 25 years of published botanical research, and the PI on every NRI clinical trial. When she teaches a class on lavender for sleep, she is drawing from her own published studies. When she teaches distillation, she has run the alembic herself on sourcing trips to Provence.
Themed Labs and shorter workshops are taught by trained NRI associates who go through the same research training. The standard is the same regardless of who is in the room.
The Signature Classes are limited to small groups. When you are in the room with Dr. Cavanaugh for four hours, the conversation goes places a large class cannot. Book early. They fill.
