Background
Background
Sam Coffman began his medical education in the US Army as a Green Beret Medic (18D) in 1989. Over the years that followed, he dedicated himself to being able to work with botanical medicine as a successful method to provide sustainable health care in remote and post-disaster regions for chronic, acute and physical trauma care.
Since that time, Sam has taught herbalism for over 32 years and has worked as a clinical herbalist for over 18 years. His herbal and acupuncture clinic/apothecary are now located in Taos, NM along with his school. Sam received his Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2022 and now integrates Traditional and Classical Chinese Medicine together with western herbalism and functional medicine to help his clients with complex chronic issues as well as acute syndromes.
In 2007, Sam founded Herbal Medics Academy (AKA The Human Path), which offers five primary herbalism programs in Clinical Herbalism, Austere Medicine, Advanced Medicine Making, Community Herbalism and Family Herbalism. He is currently is the training director for Taos Search and Rescue (TSAR) and is also part of the canine search and rescue team together with his canine companion, Lucy (pictured).
He is also a published author. His book "Herbal Medic" has been in the top 3 best-selling books for Storey Publishing for the past 3 years.

Testimonials
"Sams calming nature put me at ease right away. It was amazing that with each question we became a team to get to the bottom of my health issues. Not once did I feel put in my place, nor were my issues labeled like it was all in my head. I felt validated and excited that with Sam's vast knowledge I knew his formulas could be the next step in my healing process. "

Mary Ann A.
"Sam Coffman is a very smart and intuitive herbalist who somehow knows the best formula combination to create and provide each client. He knows plant constituents, how to make them shine in his formulas, and his western medical background completely prepares him for how to approach healing and working in both worlds for the best results. I’ve worked with him for over 15 years and have no fewer than 11 bottles of tinctures on my kitchen counter right now…. because THEY WORK!"
