Destini's Story
Destini is a Florida Native, and her first memory was a dandelion blowing in the wind. From that moment she developed a relationship with nature, and all she wanted was to be with the plant Queendom. She however found herself growing up a fairly sick child always on and off antibiotics. At age 18 she went to see a Chinese Doctor and Herbalist. This experience changed her life forever. She felt heard and understood, and most of all reconnected to the plant Queendom. For the plants had been calling her all this thyme and she finally answered. Destini's health and overall lifestyle dramatically improved. She then decided to pursue her life path in Herbalism, and completed an herbal apprenticeship though Rosemary Gladstar's Sage Mountain Herbal program. Destini loves to talk with whoever will listen about plants and the beautiful life that mother Earth has given us. She is passionate about serving the community through plant empowerment and integration with nature. She is especially gifted in the use of ritual and intuitive guidance working with plants. Come see her at Roots of the Sun to co-create your own custom herbal blends! Destini is a Hair artist as well, and enjoys teaching people how to incorporate natural beauty into their lifestyle. You can find Destini weed walking with her twin-flame Jake, awakening magic with the land, and creating beautiful music.
