Before working with Carrie, I was completely overwhelmed. I had over 25 bottles of supplements and no real understanding of what to take, when to take them, or how they interacted with each other. I was trying to manage one supplement for this issue and another for that, constantly wondering if they were counteracting each other or even working at all. When Carrie walked into my first consult and said, “Wow, that in itself must be stressful,” I felt seen immediately—because she was absolutely right.

What felt most supportive was that Carrie didn’t dismiss my pain or rush to quick answers. She was willing to start from square one and openly acknowledged that neither of us had all the answers yet. (Later, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Lupus.) She reassured me that we could tackle things one step at a time, starting with pain. While my pain wasn’t completely eliminated, I did notice real improvement. I trust Carrie because she genuinely wants people to heal and function at their highest level.

I truly believe anyone could benefit from her herbal support—from those dealing with seasonal coughs and colds to people navigating chronic pain. But more than anything, her greatest gift is how deeply she listens. Doctors often listen for symptoms; Carrie listens to the experience. That made all the difference.

Being taken seriously was the best part of working with her. She believed me. She knew my struggles weren’t minor. Because she knew me through our community, she understood that my inability to work and function normally was not who I was—and that this health crisis was real and severe. I never once felt dismissed or minimized.

Something important for anyone considering this work to know is that this is not an easy or quick fix. Natural healing takes time, commitment, and trust. Our bodies—and even our minds—need time to detox from man-made chemicals and quick- fix solutions. The world Carrie operates in is not fast-paced or superficial; it’s intentional, lasting, and rooted in believing that you deserve the best for yourself and your family.

Lynne attended Herbal Roots with Carrie when she was at one of her lowest phases of her life both physically and mentally. Lynne lives with two auto-immune diagnoses and one of them had been set off by something. 

Lynne attended Herbal Roots with Carrie to discuss changes needed, possible assistance that Carrie could provide and steps to follow. The initial assessment was thorough and well thought out. Carrie spent a lot of time delving into Lynne's history and her hopes for the future with her health. Lynne even ended up sharing her assessment with her Medical Doctor because the circle of physical and mental assistance should be fully holistic.

Lynne's favourite outcome of her assessment and treatment was the tea provided by Carrie and she still uses some of it to this day because it makes her asthma symptoms decrease or at least be livable during tough times.

Carrie listens, thinks and acts with the client in mind. Each person is treated differently, there is no cookie cutter approach here, or ticking off the boxes. She looks, researches and acts appropriately based on what she hears and what she has learned.

Carrie also gave Lynne the strength to work toward getting off a medication for her Rheumatoid Arthritis and at this time she has successfully taken that medication out of her daily repertoire because of her hard work, conversations with Carrie and the positive affect the assessment and follow up visits with Carrie have had.

Look at your health as the full circle, work with everyone and everything available in your community and positive outcomes will follow. It takes work and sticking with what you have found and been told, and your health will thank you for it.

Lynne is so glad we have someone like Carrie that has taken the years to train and fulfill her wish to become Herbal Roots with Carrie.

Thank you Carrie for your honesty, passion and hard work. And thank you for being in Daysland and Flagstaff. It is great to have your talents locally.

Before working with Carrie I was struggling mostly with stress and PCOS symptoms. Carrie was very knowledgeable on how to support me, recommending some herbal tinctures and teas to easily put into my busy routine. Even though I had sensitivity to one of the herbal tinctures, she was great at guiding me through some options and trying another type.

For anyone looking to add onto their wellness journey, or simply don’t know where to start, Carrie will put them on the path of a supportive wellness journey - but also the motivation once they feel and see the results.

It felt so good having Carrie truly listen and understand my concerns but also when I wasn’t following protocols as much as I would have liked to due to family emergencies and my sensitivity to one of the tinctures. Carrie’s patience and knowledge was truly a help in my journey and helped me feel more of myself and get me back on track.

Before I came to Carrie, I had a lot of nausea and migraine issues. With the thorough intake she was able to help assess and figure out a plan to start me on my way to be healthier. It was actually a relief having a holistic approach and not to take medication. Never having tinctures before was a stretch for me but very beneficial for healing.

Thanks Carrie for your patient, supportive attitude and NEVER making me feel like I couldn't say anything that was uncomfortable.

Before working together, what were you struggling with most?”

I was diagnosed with Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism). I also struggled with skin issues, weight gain and sleep. 

“What felt supportive or reassuring about having guidance instead of guessing on your own?”

I had over 50% of the herbs Carrie recommended growing in my yard and dried/stored in my home apothecary. I needed Carrie to help me formulate the herbs and guide me on dosage. 

“Who do you think would benefit most from this kind of herbal support?” 

Anyone who is familiar or unfamiliar with herbs. Either chronic, acute conditions or just general health optimism (so everyone). 

“How did you feel being listened to and having your concerns taken seriously?” 

This was perhaps one of the best parts about my experience. There was a lot of information I gave Carrie and she never gave signs of overwhelm and maintained an impressive level of curiosity about every little thing! 

“Is there anything else you’d want someone considering this work to know?” 

Be patient with this process and your body's healing. This form of medicine is slower than what we are used to with an allopathic approach but it is way more effective and longer lasting. 

Thank you, Carrie, for all your help! My doctor is very impressed how my thyroid numbers are already correcting themselves in my bloodwork!

I truly enjoyed my consultation with Carrie, I felt seen and heard. I have struggled with my immune system for the last few years and have been in better health overall by starting a tea and tincture regiment she recommended.

I feel anyone struggling with their health, aren't making headway, and feeling frustrated with conventional options would benefit from talking to a herbalist who cares.
