what we offer

Herbal Consults Available

Anyone can do an internet search and find herbs matched with conditions, but that doesn’t always indicate what herbs are right for you. Our individualized approach helps you cut to the chase and find out what herbs are best for your unique constitution and needs. You save time, money, stress and headache and find herbal solutions faster and more economically.

Comprehensive Care

We work with people, not problems with an all-encompassing approach that considers each client’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We dive deep and listen from the heart. Our goal is to find the root of the issue and help you address it.

Personalized Approach

First we focus on getting to the root of what’s causing your concerns. Then we create tailored herbal guidance that respects personal preferences and lifestyle, making wellness achievable and sustainable.

Empowering Education

We’re dedicated to educating clients in how they can take charge of their wellness journey while training the next generation of herbalists to assist them in doing so. While you’re working toward your goals you’re also assisting us in our mission.

your herbal consult

what to expect

Intake Form and Initial Consultation
Your journey begins when you complete our digital intake form through the HIPPA compliant platform Practice Better. Next we’ll schedule your in-depth online herbal intake session, where a student herbalist takes the time to understand your unique health goals, concerns, and lifestyle. This personalized consultation allows us to create a foundation for your wellness journey, focusing on your specific needs and objectives.

Follow-Up Support
Following your initial consultation, you will receive a thoughtfully crafted herbal protocol tailored to your goals. Your follow-up appointment helps us track your progress, make adjustments as needed, and ensure you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

A Practical Approach
As Christians, we believe God made the plants and the people, that He did so with intention and purpose and that ultimately all wholeness comes from Him. Our approach to herbalism is grounded in traditional plant knowledge, extensive study of human anatomy and physiology and current research. We respect everyone’s beliefs and aim to provide herbal care that’s both meaningful and effective for those seeking straightforward, nature-based solutions.

education that empowers

What Our Herbalists Can Do:

Educate and Empower Clients: Our clinic is dedicated to helping clients understand and pursue their wellness goals through plant-based support. We provide accessible education on herbs and self-care practices, so clients can take an active role in their journey to well-being.
Offer Lifestyle and Wellness Guidance: Herbalists provide insights into lifestyle practices—including diet, rest, and stress management—that can complement each client’s unique wellness path, fostering sustainable self-care routines.
Develop Personalized Herbal Protocols with Expert Supervision: Led by Registered Herbalists (AHG), our student practitioners create customized herbal regimens under close supervision. Each protocol is crafted to support the individual’s goals while training future herbalists to excel in their practice.

Not the traditional approach

What Our Students and Herbalists Don’t Do:

Recommend this for that: We don’t look at a list of symptoms and try to mask them. Our goal is always to help clients address root causes so they can make lasting progress.
Diagnose or Treat Medical Conditions: Herbalists do not diagnose health conditions, prescribe medication, or perform medical procedures; their role is purely supportive and educational.
Replace Conventional Medical Care: Herbal care is complementary and should be viewed as an enhancement to—not a replacement for—necessary medical care and treatments.
Guarantee Specific Outcomes: Responses to herbal support are individual and may vary; herbalists cannot predict or guarantee specific results.

Looking for new students

Alms of Grace Clinic may be a good fit for you if you…

Are a Christian: We desire to provide Christian providers to those looking for them.

“Before working together, what were you struggling with most?” I was diagnosed with Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism). I also struggled with skin issues, weight gain and sleep. “What felt supportive or reassuring about having guidance instead of guessing on your own?” I had over 50% of the herbs Carrie recommended growing in my yard and dried/stored in my home apothecary. I needed Carrie to help me formulate the herbs and guide me on dosage. “Who do you think would benefit most from this kind of herbal support?” Anyone who is familiar or unfamiliar with herbs. Either chronic, acute conditions or just general health optimism (so everyone). “How did you feel being listened to and having your concerns taken seriously?” THis was perhaps one of the best parts about my experience. There was a lot of information I gave Carrie and she never gave signs of overwhelm and maintained an impressive level of curiosity about every little thing! “Is there anything else you’d want someone considering this work to know?” Be patient with this process and your body's healing. This form of medicine is slower than what we are used to with an allopathic approach but it is way more effective and longer lasting. Thank you, Carrie, for all your help! My doctor is very impressed how my thyroid numbers are already correcting themselves in my bloodwork!

"I started looking for some help when I realized things just weren’t working the way they used to. My digestion was off, my energy was low, and the brain fog was getting frustrating. I’ve had high blood pressure and cholesterol for years, and since my dad died young from a heart attack, that’s always in the back of my mind. After starting the herbs, I began to notice changes I honestly didn’t expect. The biggest one was the brain fog lifting — I just feel clearer and more like myself again. Another big win has been my blood pressure. It’s been reading in a healthy range when I check it at home, and it was good at my last doctor’s visit as well. I’m really glad I gave this a shot and appreciate the thoughtful approach the clinic & Missy took."

Before I came to AOG I had alot of nausea and migraine issues. With the thorough questionnaire Carrie was able to help assess and figure out a plan for my gut. She gave me a plan to help start me on my way to be healthier. It was actually a relief having a holistic approach and not to take medication. Never having tinctures before was a stretch for me but very beneficial for healing. Thanks Carrie for your patient supportive attitude and NEVER making me feel like I couldn't say anything that was uncomfortable.

"I went to the Alms of Grace Clinic because I realized I didn’t actually feel bad, but I also didn’t feel good. I was getting stress headaches, my joints and muscles always ached a little, and everything just felt harder than it should. My intake was thorough and Missy really listened to what I had to say. After starting the herbs, I noticed my joints felt less “crunchy” and the stress headaches eased up a lot. I just feel better in my body overall."

"Before working with AOG, I was completely overwhelmed. I had over 25 bottles of supplements and no real understanding of what to take, when to take them, or how they interacted with each other. I was trying to manage one supplement for this issue and another for that, constantly wondering if they were counteracting each other or even working at all. When Carrie walked into my first consult and said, “Wow, that in itself must be stressful,” I felt seen immediately—because she was absolutely right. What felt most supportive was that Carrie didn’t dismiss my pain or rush to quick answers. She was willing to start from square one and openly acknowledged that neither of us had all the answers yet. (Later, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Lupus.) She reassured me that we could tackle things one step at a time, starting with pain. While my pain wasn’t completely eliminated, I did notice real improvement. I trust Carrie because she genuinely wants people to heal and function at their highest level. I truly believe anyone could benefit from her herbal support—from those dealing with seasonal coughs and colds to people navigating chronic pain. But more than anything, her greatest gift is how deeply she listens. Doctors often listen for symptoms; Carrie listens to the experience. That made all the difference. Being taken seriously was the best part of working with her. She believed me. She knew my struggles weren’t minor. Because she knew me through our community, she understood that my inability to work and function normally was not who I was—and that this health crisis was real and severe. I never once felt dismissed or minimized. Something important for anyone considering this work to know is that this is not an easy or quick fix. Natural healing takes time, commitment, and trust. Our bodies—and even our minds—need time to detox from man-made chemicals and quick-fix solutions. The world Carrie operates in is not fast-paced or superficial; it’s intentional, lasting, and rooted in believing that you deserve the best for yourself and your family.

I attended AOG when I was at one of my lowest phases of life, both physically and mentally. I live with two auto-immune diagnoses and one of them had been set off by something. I discussed changes needed, possible assistance that could be provided and steps to follow. The initial assessment was thorough and well thought out. Carrie spent a lot of time delving into my history and my hopes for the future with my health. I even ended up sharing her assessment with my Medical Doctor because the circle of physical and mental assistance should be fully holistic. My favorite outcome of her assessment and treatment was the tea provided and I still uses some of it to this day because it makes my asthma symptoms decrease or at least be livable during tough times. Carrie listens, thinks and acts with the client in mind. Each person is treated differently, there is no cookie cutter approach here, or ticking off the boxes. She looks, researches and acts appropriately based on what she hears and what she has learned. Carrie also gave me the strength to work toward getting off a medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis and at this time I has successfully taken that medication out of my daily repertoire because of hard work, conversations with Carrie and the positive affect the assessment and follow up visits with Carrie have had. Look at your health as the full circle, work with everyone and everything available in your community and positive outcomes will follow. It takes work, and sticking with what you have found and been told, and your health will thank you for it. Iam so glad we have someone like Carrie that has taken the years to train....Thank you Carrie for your honesty, passion and hard work...

Before working with AOG I was struggling mostly with stress and PCOS symptoms. Carrie was very knowledge on how to support by recommending some herbal tinctures and teas to easily put into my busy routine. Even though I had sensitivity to one of the herbal tinctures she was great at guiding me through some options and trying another type. Anyone looking to add onto their wellness journey or simply don’t know where to start Carrie will put them on the path of a supportive wellness journey but also the motivation once they feel and see the results. It felt so good having Carrie truly listen and understand my concerns but also when I wasn’t following protocols as much as I would have liked to due to family emergencies and my sensitivity to one of the tinctures. Carrie’s patience and knowledge was truly a help in my journey and helped me feel more of myself and get me back on track.
