MEDICINE OF THE DIASPORA
DOMINICA, WEST INDIES
The healing traditions of Dominica’s indigenous people, particularly the Kalinago, are a vibrant tapestry of wisdom and connection to nature. These practices blend physical remedies with spiritual harmony, creating a holistic approach to wellness.
Dominica's plant medicine is a masterpiece of ingenuity—local herbs and flora are transformed into healing teas, balms, and infusions, drawing on the island’s abundant natural resources. Spiritual healing takes center stage, with ceremonies and rituals designed to restore balance, featuring prayers, chants, and offerings to honor the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
Generational knowledge is preserved through oral traditions, with elders acting as guardians of healing wisdom, ensuring its survival over time. The Kalinago’s profound connection to the land is reflected in their belief that its resources are sacred and must be used sustainably. In recent years, their traditions have evolved through cultural exchanges, incorporating new elements such as Amazonian plant medicine.
Their approach is timeless yet dynamic—a celebration of nature, community, and the spirit’s resilience.
GULLAH GEECHEE PEOPLE
The Gullah Geechee people of the Sea Islands embody a unique tapestry of healing traditions that merge African roots with their deep bond to the land and community. Through generations, they’ve refined the art of wellness with soulful and practical approaches.
Their craft begins with herbal remedies, where plants like elderberry and sweetgrass become natural potions of care. But healing isn’t just physical—it’s a spiritual affair. Through root work, a practice steeped in African spirituality, they weave together ritual, prayer, and natural elements to mend both body and spirit. Add to this the rhythmic energy of the ring shout, a communal dance and chant that transcends time, offering emotional release and spiritual connection.
Wisdom flows orally, carried like sacred heirlooms through storytelling, ensuring that these treasured practices remain vibrant. At its heart, their healing is a collective embrace—a powerful blend of ancestry, community, and resilience.
It’s wellness with soul, a testament to their enduring connection to culture and spirit.
THE KALINAGO/ THE CARIBS
The Kalinago of Dominica blend nature and spirituality into an awe-inspiring healing tradition. Their remedies, crafted from the island's lush resources, showcase the magic of plant medicine—think herbal teas, potent poultices, and soothing infusions. Beyond the physical, their rituals and ceremonies restore balance to mind and spirit, offering soulful harmony.
Elders safeguard this wisdom, passing it down through generations, while the Kalinago's deep connection to the land inspires respect and sustainability. Recently, cultural exchanges have enriched their practices, integrating elements like Amazonian plant medicine.
It's a holistic and beautiful approach to wellness—where nature meets spirit, and ancient meets contemporary.

That’s a great question, and I really appreciate you asking. This work isn’t tied to any specific creed, doctrine, or religious adherence, nor is it pagan. It’s rooted in traditions of antiquity—wisdom from cultures that have stood the test of time, and honoring the Sacred within nature is a part of this as it is home to many. These are practices that see the natural world as a gift we all share and have sought to preserve rather than destroy (our food, medicine, and our transitions of life happen all here -so we respect it)
This is the work of my ancestors, passed down through generations to support the well-being of both the young and old. At its heart, it’s about acknowledging the Divine—the Sacred, God, or whatever name resonates with you. Across diverse ideas and beliefs, we share the understanding that there is a Power. Through this Power, there is Love, and this Law of Love supports each of us in moving toward our highest good.
It’s not about labels or boundaries—it’s about connection, respect, and embracing the sacred gifts we’ve all been given."
