Bio:
The Barefoot Herbalist is the natural health consulting and wellness practice of Drea Felice.
Audrea's pursuit of herbs and natural alternatives to health began when she was 16 years of age. Throughout the years she was called upon to educate on herbs, supplements, and remedies for family and friends. Jokingly they referred to her as 'Medicine Woman' or 'Florence Nightingale'. Today, 20 plus years later, Drea owns an herb and natural wellness practice as a Traditional, Western Community Herbalist and Aromatherapist.
However, the joy of finding her niche in life did not come until after she battled and overcame a brain tumor diagnosis and a close call with colon cancer. Audrea beat the odds and managed to do so on her own terms.
"I accredit my courage and strength, strong will, determination and healing to my faith, my mother, and my herbs."
Seemingly to be one of the biggest challenges of her life, It was an awakening experience and very neccesary. She re-focused and dedicated her life to her true calling and passion of helping others by being ‘The Barefoot Herbalist’.
She teaches and lives by her slogan, "Cultivate the mind. Replenish the body. Awaken the spirit. Naturally”. Her mission is to teach individuals how to make healthy lifestyle changes and to do so successfully by approaching the root of challenges and not just the symptoms. And while at times it may take some digging or soul searching, TBH offers gentle support and upbeat encouragement. She is the biggest cheerleader in supporting clients on their own natural path.
"God blessed my life and lead me back to my roots. And I am forever thankful. I will forever give Him all of the praise and glory; as I, the appointed vessel journey along my anointed path stopping along to guide, teach, nurture and mend those in need". ~The Barefoot Herbalist

A note from TBH
Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Here's a brief summary. During our sessions, I will help you clarify health issues, and support you in making the necessary attitude, lifestyle and wellness changes that will benefit and enhance your overall health and well being.
Understand that I am not a licensed medical doctor and do not diagnose disease, treat or prescribe. An herbal consultation with me is an educational experience during which you will learn about herbs that may support and enhance your health and inspire healing.
My purpose is to empower you with greater knowledge and to teach responsibility in taking charge of your mind, body, and spirit.
I look forward to working as a member of your wellness team towards getting healthier, naturally with you.
Drea ~ Laughing Water, Medicine Woman
