About

Hi, I'm Carrie!

I am an Arizona native with roots both in the west and midwest, moving to Minnesota at the age of 13. I graduated college with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, which led me to work at two different nonprofits. There, I began my life long journey into the mind-gut connection and the healing powers of food, movement, and mindset. I found myself on a constant mission to discover how we as humans could do better and live happier, healthier lives.

Quickly, I would discover my passion for all things nutrition. I dove deeper into the connection between what we eat and the impact on our mindset and overall well-being. I found my true passion in integrative health and nutrition, graduating from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition with an advanced certification in gut health and detoxification, and beginning my first business venture as a health coach and nutrition counselor.

For over 10 years, I have been drawn to plants to aid with healing both physical and mental ailments. I am constantly practicing and experimenting with different herbs through tea making, tinctures, and food preparation. I suggest them to my close friends and family and eventually to my clients.

Once again, I felt the need to grow, diving deeper into the practice of using herbs as a form of healing. I participated in a local program led by a master herbalist, learning about various plants and their healing properties, spiritually, physically, and mentally. I also learned various approaches to prepare the plants so they could be utilized to safely and effectively heal and nourish the body.

With this certification, I started a year-long apprenticeship working side by side with master herbalists. I honed in on my skills and began to help others on their journey of healing through plants and herbs. I now have a much deeper appreciation and understanding of mother nature and the limitless potential of plants for healing.

Always knowing that there is a space and deep desire from within to support others on their unique journey of healing, physically and mentally, Wild Sage Wellness was born.

Thank you for being here with me.
