What is Herbalism — and What Does an Herbalist Do?


I get asked a lot, Ray, what is an Herbalist?
What is herbalism?
What do you do?

"Herbalism is a traditional medicinal practice that involves the use of plants, plant extracts, and plant-derived substances to treat various health conditions and promote overall well-being."

An Herbalist, is someone who works with plants — not just for their beauty, but for their deep ability to support the Body, Mind, and Spirit. A WHOLEistic approach. We study the medicinal properties of herbs and how they interact with the body, drawing from both traditional wisdom and modern science to help people find natural ways to nourish their health.

But being an herbalist is more than just mixing teas or making tinctures. It’s about listening — to the person, to the land, and to the plants themselves. It’s about understanding that healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Every person is unique, every BODY is different, and so is every herbal remedy. While some remedies work for everyone, sometimes we need things tailored to our specific and unique needs.
As an herbalist, I:

✨Grow, harvest, and wildcraft herbs with intention and respect.
✨Create handcrafted teas, tinctures, salves, and natural remedies to suit your needs. -with Soul & Intention.
Educate others on how to use herbs safely and mindfully.
✨Help people reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth and the wisdom of plant medicine.
Support the emotional and spiritual journey of healing — the soft-ware of our lives.
Okay... But WHY should I see an Herbalist Ray?
 
🌿Gentle. Rooted. Whole. 🌿
Visiting an herbalist is like sitting down with someone who listens to more than just your symptoms — someone who sees you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.

✨ Personalized Support
Every BODY is different. An herbalist helps create custom herbal blends and suggestions tailored to YOU — your body, your life, and your needs. We work together to create a remedy that fits you.

🌿 Natural & Holistic Healing
Rather than masking symptoms, herbalism works with the root of imbalance using plant medicine that supports the body’s own healing process.

⌚👂🏾 Time to Be Heard
Herbal consultations are confidential. You’ll be seen, heard, and held in a space where your story matters. No judgment. This is a safe space. I'm here to help, not to judge.

🧘🏾♀️ Support for Mind, Body, & Spirit
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, digestive issues, sleep troubles, hormonal shifts, or emotional overwhelm — I've got an herb and a remedy for that!! 😉

💮Education & Empowerment
You’ll gain knowledge about the herbs you’re using, how to prepare them, where to find them and how to take your wellness into your own hands.

🌱A Return to the Earth
Working with an herbalist reconnects you to nature’s rhythms — the way we were meant to live, in harmony with the land, the seasons, and our bodies.

Emotional + Spiritual Healing
Herbalism isn’t just physical. It can be a deeply spiritual and emotional practice — one that helps people cope with grief, burnout, trauma, or simply the weight of everyday life. That WHOLEistic approach.

🛑Gentle Disclaimer
While Herbalists don’t diagnose or treat dis-ease, they do help support the “soft-ware” of life — helping folks manage stress, nourish the nervous system, get things moving, flowing and feel more whole. -Naturally🌿

From Soil 2 Soul — this is the medicine I offer. 🌿
Seeing an herbalist isn’t about replacing your doctor — it’s about complementing your journey with ancient, gentle wisdom. It’s about slowing down, tuning in, and remembering that healing can be simple, sacred, and soft. And most of all, it's taking YOUR power back when it comes to your health.

I'm here to walk beside you — hold space, listen deeply, and offer the medicine of the plants and the land.

With Love, Light and Herbz🌿
