Christina Lewis
Herbalist at the East Nashville Office
You have to look at the whole system. Nothing occurs in isolation.
As a clinical herbalist, I apply traditional herbal practices and evidence-based plant research to support the healthy functioning of the human body. I have an intimate relationship with plants and their potential health benefits, and I am dedicated to helping people improve their well-being through a better understanding of ancient herbal traditions and modern plant wisdom.
I will provide you with a holistic experience, a natural alternative that sits apart from our increasingly broken and frustrating healthcare system built on a foundation of patriarchy and authoritarianism. I am honored to be a part of your wellness team, and working collaboratively with you, I am here to help you build strength, develop resilience, and ultimately thrive through the practical use of plants.
Education
I consider the mastery of herbalism to be a lifelong, ongoing pursuit. It’s not something earned after a few years of study. I an active community member of the PlantFolk Herbalism Program at High Garden’s School of Root Wisdom, and I am currently completing my certification as a Family and Community Herbalist at the Commonwealth Holistic Herbalism School. I am also pursuing the advanced clinical requirements to become a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild.
