ROOTED WITH ALI, llc
Ali is a passionate herbalist focused on connection and growth. As a mother to four children, she has dedicated her life when conventional medicine no longer served. When her children started to suffer from skin conditions and food allergies, she dove deep to understand and her passion for plants was born. In 2018 she founded rooted with ali. A skincare and wellness brand offering clean products with minimal ingredients for the whole family. In 2024 she opened the doors to The Stinging Nettle Apothecary and Integrated Wellness Clinic.
Ali holds a CPC certification in the healthcare field, where she has spent over 15 years working with physicians and medical personnel. This experience allowed her to reflect on countless medical charts giving her in depth knowledge of chronic disease and systemic conditions. Ali believes that there is a place in this world for modern medicine, but also understands the frustration when all options have been exhausted and the answers are still unfound. In a passion to help others, she continued her education and became a certified clinical herbalist. As a vitalist practitioner she empowers clients to take control of their own health. She is committed to looking at the person as a whole to get to the root cause of a symptom. Through lifestyle, nutrition and herbs as allies, she believes together we can achieve this.
