My name is Carmen, and when I first got started on my healing journey my health and my mother’s health were headed downhill!

We were both on steroids regularly for unrelenting autoimmune diseases. My mother struggled with her mental health, weight struggles, diabetes, and a long list of other complications that stemmed from the medications she was given to manage each diagnosis she was given. We weren't told that the medications we were prescribed would eventually create more problems for us. I just wanted us to feel better! I was tired of listening to doctors say that this was the only way and that managing illness and disease were just something we would have to learn to live with.

Something inside me knew there had to be a better way, but I had no idea where to begin!

I began researching for myself but along the way I was given a lot of unreliable and unhelpful information. There was so much to sort through! That is when I decided to begin the journey back to the beginning, learning how we were originally designed to live and to interact with the world around us, and I began to evaluate my own level of commitment to living according to this Divinely-designed approach to health and healing.

I completed a rigorous Master Herbalist training program. I have dedicated my life to continuing my self-study of natural health and healing and now I have a private practice as a Clinical Herbalist where I help others embrace their health and lead them to their own unique healing journeys! I have implemented many things I have learned along the way to improve my health and the health of my family and clients.

When I started this journey, I didn’t realize what a dramatic impact aligning our lives in this way would have on health and healing - until things really began to improve!

As I have worked with clients in private practice, it has become abundantly clear that education is necessary and the earlier it begins, THE BETTER OFF WE ALL ARE!!! I am on a mission to reach the next generation as young as possible and this is where my creativity was sparked to write "GRACIE'S HEALING GARDEN."

…This story combines knowledge gained about how to easily incorporate herbs into children's health, teach them to take responsibility for their health, to stay connected to their bodies and to understand the cues it sends in symptoms and how to care for their bodies holistically!

We aren't taught this information in school. It is prudent that we get this information to children and the younger they are exposed to the concepts of holistic health and wellness, the more likely they will be to create a holistic lifestyle that will serve them and others throughout their lifetime - and beyond!
