Questions?
We’re glad you asked.
If you can’t find your answer here, please send us note via our Contact page.
Our Sustaining Membership Program helps to ensure the funding to continue providing our community herbwork. By signing up for a recurring membership, you can make a difference all year.
Your membership will be automatically processed each month (or annually) using your debit or credit card until canceled.
You can update your billing details or cancel your membership anytime through your membership account.
Please see our Sustaining Membership Renewal & Refund Policy for additional information about renewals, cancellations, and refund eligibility.
We offer both individual and group options. All levels receive the same access to our community and online tools. Just choose the membership that feels right for you.
Our individual memberships are offered on a sliding scale. We do not require any proof of level, so please join where you feel comfortable.
If you are a member of a collective or school, check out our group memberships which offer a varying number of logins associated with each account.
When you join as a collective, please choose the group membership options. These offer multi-user options ranging from 3 to 25 members. If you need more than that, please contact us.
I didn’t receive my login or password reset email. What should I do?
First, don’t worry — this can happen. Please try the following steps:
1. Check all inbox folders: sometimes system emails don’t appear in the main inbox. Please check:
- Spam
- Promotions
- Updates
- All Mail
2. Search your email inbox: in your email search bar, try searching:
- herbalista
- lorna@herbalista.org
- notifications@herbalista.org
- sender-sib
This often reveals messages that are hidden from the main inbox view.
3. Add us to your contacts / safe senders list: To make sure our emails always reach you, please add these addresses to your contacts:
This helps prevent future emails from being blocked or filtered.
4. Wait 5–10 minutes before requesting another password reset. Sometimes email queues take a few minutes to process. Requesting multiple resets in quick succession can delay delivery.
5. Try resetting from a private browser window. Open a private / incognito window, then visit the login page and request a password reset again. This avoids browser cache or cookie conflicts.
6. Try a different browser or device. Sometimes password reset links fail due to browser security settings, outdated browsers, or cached login tokens. So try:
- Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
- or a different device (phone vs laptop)
Still need help? If you aren’t receiving password reset emails after following the steps above, please contact us so we can help you get it sorted.
Please include:
- Your full name
- The email address you used to register
Circumstances change and we thank you for all the support you were able to share with us. If you wish to cancel your recurring membership, you can do so directly in your member dashboard.
Here are the steps:
- Log in to your Herbalista account on our website.
- Go to your User Dashboard by selecting Member > My Account from the menu.
- In your account dashboard, click on Subscriptions.
- Locate your active subscription. Next to it, you’ll see a Cancel button.
- Click Cancel. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle but will not renew.
- Note: Once canceled, you’ll still have access to your membership benefits until the current billing period ends.
- You will receive a confirmation of your cancellation directly to your email.
If you have any difficulties navigating the system, please contact us.
Thank you for supporting our work at Herblista. Sustaining memberships fund more than 90% of our work and make it possible for us to continue offering accessible herbal education and community care.
Renewal Terms
- Sustaining memberships renew automatically on a monthly (or annual) basis unless cancelled.
- Members will receive a renewal reminder email prior to all renewals.
- You may cancel at any time through your account portal to prevent future charges. Once cancelled your access to the Toolkit will remain until the end of the current paid billing cycle.
Refund Policy
Because sustaining memberships directly fund ongoing programming and provide access to a digital resource library, access is considered delivered once a member logs into their account.
- Monthly memberships: Monthly charges are non-refundable once processed. You may cancel at any time to prevent future renewals. Our system sends a reminder a few days prior to the renewal to the email on file for your account.
- Annual memberships: Annual memberships — including both initial purchases and renewals — may be refunded within 7 days of the charge date if the member has not logged into their account after the charge was processed. After 7 days from the charge date, refunds are not available.
- Login activity is determined by site records. Once login occurs following a charge, the membership is considered active for that term and is not eligible for refund.
- If you believe a charge was made in error, please contact us within 5 business days so we can review the situation.
If you wish to change your membership level, please cancel your current membership and reenroll at the level you would like.
If your payment doesn’t go through — for example, due to an expired card or insufficient funds — our WooCommerce membership system will automatically retry it several times over the following weeks.
This is a standard WooCommerce feature, designed to give you time to fix simple issues before your membership is cancelled.
You can update your payment details anytime under My Account → Subscriptions → Change Payment Method, and the system will automatically retry the charge and restore your access once it succeeds.
As of September 2025, Herbalista memberships are no longer tax-deductible. Previously, we operated through a partner organization that allowed tax-deductibility, but we have since shifted our structure.
We thank our previous fiscal sponsors, MPower Now and Verista, for their incredible support for all those year. You can read more about our decision to shift gears here.
