期望能够坚持多年，因为总有更多东西需要学习。我们深入挖掘！在您第二年左右的某个时候，我们将决定您是否应该继续担任初级学徒，还是准备好转为高级学徒 – 作为初级学徒多待一段时间并没有什么可耻的，我们只是知道在初级学徒中需要学习很多东西年，有些人需要放慢脚步。高级学徒的工作水平更高。

学徒圈：学徒圈由艾玛 (Emma) 在温莎露台地点领导（按季节每周一次）。我们每年提供大约 20 个主题，并尝试在每个日历年内涵盖每个主题两次。这种形式的安排是为了让任何参加过我们的从业者培训的人都可以随时加入（也许需要一些预读和课堂上的工作表）。商店上午 11 点开始营业，欢迎您提早到达，与同事一起喝花草茶聊天。学徒可以在开始日期后的一个日历年内参加尽可能多的学徒圈。非当前学徒的从业者可以参加个人学徒圈，费用为 180 美元。

Can I use Brooklyn Herborium's products in my spa or treatment room without being an apprentice?

Yes. There are many ways to work with Brooklyn Herborium and the Between You & The Moon products. You do not need to participate in the apprenticeship in order to become a retailer or use BYATM products in your treatment room or spa.

There are many ways to work with us, depending on what your needs are:

• Retail: We offer a large variety of products for sale in your retail shop or as home care for your facial service clients. See our attached wholesale application and price list.
• “And…in addition to…” We recognize that there are many pathways to health and beauty and we would be honored to be part of your journey. Our methods are inclusive of many other modalities and can easily be worked into your current skin care offerings in order to serve your clients better. You can set up a spa consultation with one of our specialists to help you determine what is going to work best for you.
• We offer a Practitioner Backbar Package that gets you set up immediately with enough product to supply one service room with 80-120 of either the Holistic Spa Facial* or a Functional Skin Care Service*. There are no artificial chemicals or ingredients in any of these products. (Please note that some of our Advanced Products do have emulsifiers and/or preservatives).

I currently work in a place that uses a different product line. Will I be able to use what I learn with other products or service protocols?

Yes. We only use our Functional Skin Care Line during the Apprenticeship (because it was designed for these methods) but the knowledge that you will gain is universal. You will then have the insight to apply holistic methods to everything you touch as well as a very clear lens to determine if something is truly holistic and beneficial or if it simply appears that way. (Reminder: Loudest does not equal wisest.) Also, if you have current knowledge and experience in other healing modalities such as acupuncture, Crystals, Gua Sha, Reiki, Dien Chan/m, hot stone therapy (etc) or have interest in pursuing them in the future you will be provided with a base in which to insert these methods to benefit your clients immediately. 

Will I learn how to create my own skin care line?

No. Take our Herbalcrafting Apprenticeship for that.

What if I can’t come to the Apprentice Circles?

You can still become a Practitioner as well as a Practitioner Apprentice, but do it all online. The Apprenticeship provides enough study material to go deep and use the products in a practice without attending any of the Apprentice Circles. (I would love to say that those materials are “as good” as attending a circle…but we so believe that you will get more out of it then most online classes) Remember, the more you interact with your community of practitioners, the more insight you will gain so get involved in the classroom and make it to whatever circles you can. 

Live meetings are useful for reinforcement and for learning the specifics of hands-on work. The conversations that we have around the particulars of the practice are an education within itself. Lively discussions and anecdotal stories are welcome during these times. Without that, it is not really an apprenticeship, but online learning or courses (which may be lovely, but not quite on the same level).  An apprenticeship requires that you make connections and are willing to delve deeper, not necessarily wider.

What is the time commitment? 

• Direction is more important than speed. Do the work in your own time, and you will truly get it. Modern media seems to be making people think that they can just purchase a class and “download” it into their brain and then have it to use. Feed yourself, we will not spoon-feed you. 
• To get the most out of the experience, most apprentices attend the Apprentice Circles even if they "repeat" something. Some practitioners cannot attend every circle and get what they can from our unique and mind-blowing Workbooks, Our Educational Hub, their own practice, and attending the circles they can make it to.
• We expect our Apprentices also spend about 10 hours per week practicing (either in their hands or in their heads) while they are working with us. The more hands-on you get, the better it will be for you.
• Our apprentices tend to stick around, coming to the Apprentice Circles for as long as they can and even return when possible after they have left the area  to start their own practice. This work is something you can keep growing and growing with. There is no completion in the spiral of learning.

What is the difference between a Practitioner and an Apprentice?

For clarification: A Practitioner is someone who is using the BYATM Products and Techniques in their professional practice.

A Practitioner Apprentice is systematically working though all of the educational offerings we provide in a methodical and supported manner. In actuality, I would hope that we all are always both apprentices and practitioners, but we need words to help us be definitive.

Do I have to be an aesthetician?

We welcome a wide variety of professionals to use our products, understanding that each practitioner is unique and has unique needs. It is up to you to stay within your scope of practice and what your license allows.

Can I come work for you?

Yes, we do hire out of our apprenticeship programs (both Herbalcrafters and Holistic Aestheticians). But please be aware, depending upon our current roster of practitioners, employment is not guaranteed.
