About Us
Hi! I am Andi, the owner of Root and Leaf Holistic Care. I am a Midwest momma to 6 amazing kids! I started this local business because I am dedicated to providing healthy alternatives to everyday products.
Many of the oils and herbs are grown organically or forged by me! Through my family's health crises, we learned that everything we put not only in, on, and around our bodies affects our overall health. I have studied herbalism and herbalism safety to ensure that my products are clean and safe.
Feel free to message me about any questions you might have or special requests. I will do everything possible to meet you and your family's needs.
How We Got Here
This story started many years ago. One of my children was sick and doctor after doctor could not seem to give us answers. Ten years ago we were given a misdiagnosis from the MDA. We were told it was a form of muscular dystrophy. One doctor told us off record, we should enjoy the time we had left because his body was shutting down.
A year later my daughter would be given the same misdiagnosis. Through prayer, fasting, and faith that we would not lose these kids, we were led to the real culprit - Lyme Disease. However, even with a positive Lyme test, we still could not get clear answers for how to heal their bodies. By this time, my son was in a wheelchair, and my daughter's muscular system was starting to deteriorate.
We started medication that had adverse effects. One day my daughter, at only eight years old, was choking, unable to breathe because of a blood clot larger than her throat. That was the day I decided to walk away from modern medicine. I found that what worked was not Big Pharma, where medication often left you taking pills that caused you to need two other pills to manage the side effects. God had already given us plants and foods that were meant to repair our bodies.
With this knowledge, we have not only recovered but thrived! This has been a wild ride, and I cannot wait to show you how and what the earth has to offer!
What We Offer
My services encompass a wide array of solutions tailored to meet your health needs. With organic health alternatives, I aim to support a greener lifestyle that positively impacts the environment and your health.
Organic Products:
I believe we need to take care of what God has provided us.
I cultivate plants and herbs without the use of chemical fertilizers, ensuring a safe haven for the delicate ecosystem. I am committed to pollinator-friendly gardening, which means I embrace a "take one, leave two" philosophy, supporting the vital role of pollinators.
I have obsessed over packaging to provide reusable or recyclable items. The more I have learned about plastic shedding and its health effects, the more I have steered away from as much plastic as possible.
Workshops:
Education is key!
The world we live in is a hard one. Every day, we hear about new side effects from medicines and new chemicals in our food that harm our families. I want to help you learn how to ensure your family is healthy and help you navigate being the voice of health for your family.
I offer at-home or in-studio workshops to teach you and your friends how to identify, harvest, and use herbs medicinally.
