A story to remember

    My name is Danielle Justiniano-Fletcher and I am the founder of Herbal Hempress. I have studied medicine and herbalism for over 10 years and I am currently dual majoring in  Neuroscience and Nursing. I am on the path to become a midwife.

 Herbal medicine has been use for centuries and has worked wonders! Western medicine is amazing, but I believe in natural healing for non life threatening and mild health concerns.

    My legacy began when I was 11 years old and diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I was on almost every medication known to treat it, and I was still having flare-ups. I would find myself at the hospital multiple times a year. At the age of 19, I took on a vegetarian diet and slowly transitioned into a vegan diet. This is when things got real, I was able to drop all medications and heal myself with diet and supplements.  I knew I had a calling to help others. This is where Herbal Hempress comes along. With all of my studies and knowledge I will use everything in me to help you help yourself. 

   As for the doula aspect of Herbal Hempress, I do it because I love pregnancy and new life more than anything. I have six biological children (and two step children) and I enjoyed ever moment of my pregnancies. I dedicated my formal studies to nursing so that I may become a Certified Nurse Midwife some day soon. Being a doula is great because I want to help women along their journey, the most beautiful time in their lives. 

   My children are my drive, they push me to do more. They deserve the world and I want to give that to them. I also want to show them that anything is possible if they set their hearts and minds to it. Caring for others and giving when you can is something I want to instill in them.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little better! I hope I get to know some of you as well!
