Nourishing Life Health Center

Community Medicine Garden

The Community Medicine Garden at Nourishing Life Health Center is a place to experience and participate in creating the magic, wonder and practical wisdom born of working with healing plants.

Become an active part of creating a truly healthy local community — one that values empowering education, natural disease prevention, body autonomy, and vibrant health for all.

This garden is under development and in the process of re-wilding much of the current lawn of the Nourishing Life Health Center. It is becoming home to dozens of species of plant medicines from around the temperate-climate world (including natives, Europeans, Asians and some warm-climate herbs grown as annuals).

Plant-Community-Medicine Vision:

Imagine a vibrant, sustainable medicinal herb garden that supports the vitality and healing, empowerment, and health freedom of all people.

A Working Mission:

To empower, educate, provide sanctuary, gathering space, and access to natural medicines to support the health of our community and our planet. We support all people in taking 100% responsibility for their health by leading with natural forms of medicine which are in harmony with our bodies and the earth. We especially aim to support those facing health challenges who may not have easy access to anything other than conventional medical care.

Potential Benefits to our Community:

  • Free, donatable, and/or membership-based source of plant material for medicine-making;
  • Flowers for pollinators and beauty of course!
  • Community nourishment and connection with others who want to learn how to create health for one’s self and loved ones;
  • Nature connection through gardening, herb crafting, observation, and wonder;
  • Meaningful conversations around issues of health choice, informed consent, access and illness prevention and treatment;
  • Cultural awareness through growing and working with plants from different parts of the world;
  • Enhanced use of a green space for insects, birds, wildlife, and humans;
  • Healing sanctuary space created by the magic, beauty, wildness and peacefulness of nature;
  • Demonstration and/or preservation of particular medicinal plant species;
  • Local access to foreign herbs (that come a long, long way to get here) = herbal medicine security
  • Educational opportunities and gathering space for:
    • Children to explore and play
    • Education about medicine-making and utilizing the herbal harvest
    • Issue-specific healing

Hillary collaborated with me on a holistic plan that addressed my specific health issues. The worst symptoms—fatigue, brain fog and joint pain—were 80% better within seven months. I am grateful for their skill and care in managing complex conditions in a patient, methodical and encouraging way.
LP, Lyme and work burnout
Your clinic does powerful healing and meaningful work. You have completely changed my life for the better, and I hope others can reap the benefits of what you do. It is life changing, and I will ALWAYS be grateful to all of you, and your mission to heal.
SP, Lyme disease
Had to share!! My cravings… are hardly there. I am a believer. Seeing Hillary was the best decision I could have made! Also, her receptionist made me very comfortable.
JD, quitting smoking
It is rare these days to actually find a person who has the skill to resolve the problem. I am able to resume walking and feel much better. Congratulations, I am awed & grateful!
SB, high blood pressure
I want to express my deep appreciation for all on the staff whom I've interacted with. No matter who I've talked with, I'm greeted with a pleasant, kind and caring reception... Please accept my gratitude for all you each do and your helpful and caring attitudes!
JM, chronic UTI
Hillary, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! It’s been a year since we started working together and OH! What progress we have made! I couldn’t even drink water without pain when we began. That’s CRAZY! I am so grateful to have your expertise and to have you on my team. Thank you for your help. I can’t wait to celebrate our next recovery milestone!
SK, chemical exposure and Lyme
… I developed herniated discs and back pain that at times was excruciating. Hillary treated me with acupuncture, electrical stimulation, and cups. It was like a miracle. Now I’m pain free and have my life back.
DD, lower back pain
I came to Hillary after years of thinking I was doing all the right things. I was feeling disappointed with Western medicine and working way too hard to feel awful and felt like my life was being stolen. I like how Hillary does a comprehensive workup.
JD, Bartonella
I suffered with getting violently ill every month. My doctor told me I have a hormonal imbalance and wanted to put me on medication... the acupuncture and my daily herbal drink have completely resolved my problem.
LN, sudden turmoil disorder
What’s most valuable to me is the knowledge and aid you’ve provided in helping me create balance. I am pleased, impressed, and very happy with the service and caring I receive.
MA, health maintenance
I am fully recovered!! It was a difficult 10 year healing journey and thanks to you, as well as other practitioners and methods, I can now say it is over. Thank you, thank you... for your kind ministrations, wisdom and passion for healing. I couldn't have done it without you!
