Lyani Powers

Lyani has studied clinical herbalism and ethnobotany since she was a child. Starting under the skirts of both grandmothers by watching how they farmed and used plants to create remedies. Lyani grew up listening to her elders speak of what plant works for what ailment and how to treat and soothe others' aches and pains. When Lyani was diagnosed with MS, she was motivated to learn more about additional avenues of healing for herself and others. Through her personal journey to health, Lyani met inspiring and remarkably intelligent healers including nutritionists, naturopaths, and medical physicians. What she learned was invaluable, so much so, she wanted to learn even more.

Lyani dove headfirst into numerous courses, curriculums, and apprenticeships. She completed her studies in Clinical Herbalism, where she studied under Arbor Vitae School in New York founder, Richard Mandelbaum. After that program, she completed the Rosemary Gladstar Herbal Education Program. She went on to complete additional certifications in Pregnancy, Postpartum and Nutrition through Glow Maven and Divine Birth Wisdom. Her Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula Certification is from The Newborn Collective. She is also a CLC, Certified Lactation Consultant. The process of learning never stops for Lyani as she continues to explore the endless depths of wellness through nutrition and holistic care.

After the birth of her first child, Lyani realized she has a passion for supporting birthing people and their babies. When Lyani was pregnant, she had to learn how to support herself holistically but finding quality products and services were difficult to say the least. "There are so many ways to support people during pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood in general, and menopause but many women simply do not know or do not have access to these practices.” Lyani made it her mission to help bridge that gap. She believes no parent should be sitting home in discomfort when there are simple, safe, holistic solutions. The more Lyani studied, the more she discovered the need for women to help, support, and campaign for other women.
