Questions

Frequently asked questions

I'm a complete beginner. Where should I start?
Start with the free Starter Kit, or with Book 1 if you want the full foundations. Every exercise in the series has an easier option.
Do I need a gym or a garden?
No. Every workout can be done at home with bodyweight and a sturdy chair, and every recipe works with store-bought herbs. A sunny windowsill is enough if you want to grow your own.
How do I get the Shieldmaiden's Companion?
It's included in the download of every book and bundle. You don't need to do anything extra.
What's the difference between the 30-Day Reset and the 12-Week Plan?
The Reset is a guided month that builds your daily habits. The Shieldwall Plan is a structured 12-week strength and nutrition program. Most people do the Reset first.
Is the herbal content safe?
We only use well-known, gentle herbs, and every recipe lists cautions for allergies, medications, pregnancy and breastfeeding. The books are educational and don't replace medical advice.
What formats do I get, and how are they delivered?
Each book comes as a print-ready PDF and an EPUB for Kindle, Apple Books and phones. You'll receive an instant download link by email after checkout.
Which books include the 14-day meal plan?
The Healer's Garden, The Shieldwall Plan, the Foundations Trio and the Complete Set each include members-only access to The Shieldwall Table, a 14-day high-protein, budget-friendly meal plan. After you buy, you'll get an email with your login link and a temporary password, and you'll choose your own password the first time you log in.
Can I upgrade to the Complete Set later?
Yes. Email us after buying a single book and we'll credit what you paid toward the Complete Set.
What's your refund policy?
Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final. If a file won't open, email us and we'll fix it quickly.
