About Us
My name is Diana W Roach CCH. I am a Certified Clinical Herbalist with over 30 years of experience in the field of herbal medicine. During this time, I and my husband,Cecil have owned and operated an herbal extraction and formulation business, as well as two vitamin/supplement/herb stores. The first herbal store, Evergreen Herbal Market, was founded in Rio Rancho, New Mexico in 1994. The second, Village Apothecary, was founded in Cedar Crest, NM in 2000. Both stores are still in operation as well as the
extract business, though we sold them many years ago. I first learned of MM in 1992 and went on his northern NM week-long field trip. I was hooked, so in January Michael’s 500 hour plus 3 big field trips for my certifying herbalist class began and I was there! I received my Clinical Herbalist Certification in June of 1993 and in 1994 we opened our first store, Evergreen Herbal Market. I have been studying his work and using it ever since.
My husband Cecil Roach has had an interest in computers and programming since the Commodore 64 all the way back in 1982. Over the years he developed programs for both Windows and Apple. At Evergreen Herbal Market Cecil ran the back-end of the store, created inventory tracking software, Lab Process tracking, data and lot number retaining, and more. At this time, he began compiling Michael’s booklets into what would later become this program. I found the program oh so useful as I worked with customers and developed extract formulas. Two years ago, Cecil began to rework and update this software to what it is now, The Herbal Research guide. Better yet, we decided to include the Formulation sub-program rather than
having that be a second stand-alone program. This formulation component
which includes ALL of Michael’s Western Constitutional approach to
Herbal Medicine. It is really the heart of Michael’s teaching all in one, easy
to use Software package.

They documented hundreds of medicinal plant species, their medicinal and other uses, propagation and other tidbits. He also founded and directed the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine in Bisbee Arizona, then Santa Fe, NM and later in Albuquerque New Mexico, where he trained many student herbalists over 28 years. His unique teaching style which blended deep knowledge, humor, and occasional profanity made him a memorable and impactful mentor and teacher.
