About Us
Hi! I'm Wendy, founder and owner of Root to Bone Herbal Wellness. I was born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts surrounded by nature. From the mountains to the streams, to the lilac trees in our backyard, I've always felt a strong connection to the earth. The energy from nature has always completely fascinated me. I knew the more time we spent outside, whether it was in the mountains, by the ocean, or in our own backyards, the clearer we thought and the more our moods improved. I later became a massage therapist, wanting to help people feel good in their bodies. I really wanted to help people understand their bodies better and know that being in constant pain was not normal and didn't have to be this way. After becoming a yoga instructor and taking courses for personal training, I was able to help teach more people how to move in their bodies in the best way suited for them, but something was still missing. At this point, I had been studying herbalism for years, but only making teas, tinctures, and salves for my kids and my family. I picked up every book about herbs I came across and took courses through Rosemary Gladstar (and also through the Herbal Academy, Sajah Popham, Maria Noel Groves, Camille Freeman, Feral Herbalism, Margi Flint, amongst many others- I really love learning!). Eventually I started sharing everything I had learned with my clientele, and I started creating products for them. I realized this was the missing piece, we have forgotten how to live simply, how to listen to our bodies, and how to trust in Mother Nature. My hope is to help those in their healing journey, wherever they may be, whatever they may need.
Sometimes the simplest methods are best. Sometimes the answer to what you need is all around you, you just have to quiet your mind and take the time to really see.
