Welcome! I’m Carrie — Master Herbalist and founder of Herbal Roots with Carrie.
My work is rooted in the belief that true wellness begins with balance — nurturing the mind, body, and spirit as one. My journey began in 2012 as a certified WholyFit instructor, where I discovered how movement and faith can restore balance and resilience. Over time, this passion evolved into a desire to help others more deeply, leading me to expand my studies into clinical herbalism.
Today, I continue to advance my studies through lifelong learning, specialization, and hands-on clinical experience. While I work with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, I have a particular passion for supporting pain, immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, nervous system challenges, and women’s health.
As a Christian herbalist, I approach health through a faith-based lens, believing that true wellness is about more than just the physical body—it’s also about emotional and spiritual well-being. In addition to standard consultations, I offer faith-based sessions that bring together all aspects of wellness, creating a truly holistic approach to healing.
When I’m not working with clients or immersed in my studies, I’m often crafting herbal remedies, refining protocols, or finding new ways to share the beauty and power of herbalism with my community. My work is guided by a love of lifelong learning and a deep belief in the transformative power of phytotherapy.

A life saver.
Carrie is very easy to talk to. She is knowledgeable, patient and empathetic. She has an excellent understanding of the synergy between different herbs and other natural healing alternatives. Her ability to curate personal health remedies has been a life saver and has helped my family through quite a few hard seasons. Carrie is creative and willing to think outside the box to find out what the best route to wellness is for you.

Fantastic resource.
Carrie has been a fantastic resource in my family’s tool kit! She has a wealth of knowledge and has been more than willing to educate, support, and whip up herbal remedies for us when needed. She has supported us through ear aches, sore throats, respiratory infections, and supporting our immune systems through it all.
I highly recommend her and am so excited to see her business thrive in our community!
