Born and raised in the rich traditions of the Gullah culture in Philadelphia, PA I am deeply rooted in the ancestral knowledge of herbalism and natural remedies. The wisdom passed down through generations of my family inspires my journey as an herbalist, where I seek to honor and preserve the legacy of my ancestors while sharing their timeless gifts with the world.
My path to herbalism began as a personal quest to restore balance and wellness to my own body. Living with diabetes Type II and PCOS, I turned to the natural remedies that my ancestors used, finding both healing and empowerment in the process. This journey ignited a passion within me to bring joy, wisdom, and understanding about herbalism to others, showing them the power of plants and the connection they offer to both our health and our heritage.
With a spirit of discernment and a heart filled with compassion, I approach my work as an herbalist with authenticity and reverence. My goal is not only to provide natural solutions but to educate and inspire, fostering a deeper connection between people and the earth. Through sharing remedies, offering guidance, and holding space for healing, I aim to uplift individuals and communities, one plant at a time.
As a proud native of St. Helena Island, SC I infuse every aspect of my journey with the unique essence of the Gullah culture. I celebrate its rhythms, stories, and resilience, ensuring that each remedy and interaction carries the spirit of my ancestors. Together, we can rediscover the joy and power of herbalism, embracing its ability to heal both the body and the soul.
