The Rooted Rx Story

Rooted Rx was born from the same passion and purpose that inspired Comunidad de Raíces—a nonprofit Rachel founded to promote community empowerment in Granada, Nicaragua and Roanoke, Virginia. “Raíces,” meaning “roots” in Spanish, was more than just a name—it represented a philosophy. Our mission was simple yet powerful: we exist to empower people to become rooted in themselves, in their faith, and in their communities.

That same belief now lives on through Rooted Rx.

Rooted Rx is a holistic wellness platform dedicated to supporting whole-person health through evidence-based natural medicine, integrative health education, and accessible wellness tools. Just like the nonprofit, this site is about going back to our roots—honoring the healing wisdom of nature while embracing the rigor of modern science.

Here, you'll find trusted guidance on herbal medicine, nutrition, supplements, and holistic practices that are practical, inclusive, and empowering. Whether you’re nurturing your own health or caring for your family, Rooted Rx is your place to learn, grow, and reconnect—with your body, your community, and the healing power of nature.

Because when we're rooted, we're resilient.

Hi, I'm Rachel – a 2025 Doctor of Pharmacy graduate, founder of Rooted Rx, and a firm believer that true healing starts at the root. 

Before stepping into the world of pharmacy, I founded a nonprofit called Comunidad de Raíces, which served families in Granada, Nicaragua and Roanoke, Virginia. Our mission was to promote community empowerment by helping people become rooted in themselves, in their faith, and in their communities—a mission that continues to guide me in every space I step into. 

I'm also a proud foster mama and forever mama to two amazing kids, ages 5 and 3. Motherhood has deepened my passion for nurturing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and shown me firsthand how important it is to have trustworthy, integrative health support for wellness at every stage of life. 

Now local to Wilmington, North Carolina, I created Rooted Rx to bridge the gap between science and nature—to offer wellness guidance that is informed by both clinical expertise and the time-tested wisdom of herbal medicine. While my degree is in pharmacy, my heart has always been drawn to holistic wellness, and I bring both worlds together to serve individuals and families who want to live more rooted, balanced lives. 

Here, you’ll find resources, remedies, and real-life tools—including nutrition advice and natural medicine strategies—to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected—because health isn't just about what you take, it's about how you live. 

I’m so glad you’re here.
