About Us

Kerrie:

 

Kerrie Byrne was born in South Texas and left her small hometown at just 17 years old, beginning what would become a lifelong journey in natural health and wellness. Her path started with Whole Foods and evolved into decades of work as a passionate advocate and educator for herbal and nutritional healing. Over the years, as a Certified Master Herbalist, she worked with respected companies including Gaia Herbs and Himalaya Herbal Healthcare, supporting thousands of people across the United States while based in Dallas and then Baltimore.

​

Alongside her career, Kerrie also raised a son with the hope of teaching him how to remain kind in a world that is not always kind in return. Like many young parents, she and her son's father were still growing and learning themselves, discovering with time that they were not meant to walk life side by side forever. Still, through every challenge, Kerrie remained committed, as a single parent, to raising a compassionate, thoughtful human being; a man now, whom she is incredibly proud of.

​

Kerrie later stepped away from her career to lovingly care for her late wife, Mo, throughout her battle with ovarian cancer. That chapter profoundly shaped her understanding of healing, grief, resilience, and the limits of medicine. Through her own healing journey, she unexpectedly met Kylee, and through what can only be described as divine timing and a little magik, the two built a new life together in Vernon, BC.

​

Lived experience has taught Kerrie that not every life can be saved, no matter how fiercely we love or fight. Yet she remains deeply rooted in the belief that supporting the body naturally and addressing illness at its source offers a gentler, more sustainable path to wellness than simply masking symptoms. As her mentor once shared “Herbs do not heal the body, they only remind the body how to heal itself.” Holding this truth, she provides support for healing and balanced wellness no matter where you are in life.

​

Kerrie humbly serves others by meeting them exactly where they are. Her approach is compassionate, practical, and deeply human, focusing on small, achievable changes that create lasting success and a healthier, more balanced life. She loves living in Vernon, and spends her leisure time enjoying delicious foods, reading, hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, sunning, gardening and walking her dogs in nature with Kylee.

 

Kylee: 

 

Kylee’s story begins with what she jokingly calls being born with a “rock head,” a stubborn resilience that would carry her through adversity from a very young age. A natural-born healer, she was drawn early toward caring for others, both personally and professionally. Straight out of high school, she was offered a position in long-term care, where she developed the caregiving, compassion, and life-transition skills that would shape the rest of her life’s path.

 

Raised in a small, conservative Saskatchewan town, Kylee experienced profound loss early on when she was disowned by her family after coming out at 19. Despite this, she chose to live authentically and unapologetically, spending the next decade building a life alongside her first wife and caring for her through illness until their paths eventually grew irreparably apart.

​

Long before alternative healing became widely recognized, Kylee followed her intuition into energy work, becoming a Reiki Master over 23 years ago. Her philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that the body is designed to heal itself when supported by nature, nourishment, rest, and connection. She believes medical and pharmaceutical interventions can play an important role in symptom management, but that true healing begins when the root cause is compassionately explored and addressed.

​

Before relocating to Vernon, BC, Kylee lived on and stewarded a self-sustainable herb farm, with over 200 animals in Saskatchewan called Hayland Grove Farmacy & Retreat. There, she cultivated medicinal plants, community, and safe spaces for healing. She also donated and stewarded the land where Saskatchewan’s first inclusive women’s festival was held, helping create a place where people could gather in authenticity, acceptance, and connection.

​

Through profound personal loss, Kylee has come to understand that not everything can be healed, fixed, or saved. Much of who she is today was forged through her own healing journey following the passing of her spouse, Mallory, whom she lovingly cared for through years of debilitating illness. In the wake of that grief, her life’s purpose became crystal clear: to help people live better, die better, and feel less alone somewhere in between.

​

Today, Kylee’s work blends lived experience, spirituality, and holistic care. She is certified as a Death Doula, Grief and Bereavement Support Worker, Reiki Master, Sylvotherapy Practitioner, Nutrition Coach, Sound Healing Facilitator, Sacred Cacao Ceremonialist, and 9D Breathwork Facilitator. Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply soul-centered.

​

Kylee believes we are all walking soul journeys, and that the people we encounter are often divinely placed along our path. She believes the deepest soul connections are not always bound by blood, but by love, growth, and shared transformation. She also believes that she and Kerrie were brought together by Mo and Mallory, so that both of them could experience love, support and to live again after believing that their dreams of a happy life had ended forever.

​

Now rooted in Vernon, Kylee finds joy in the simple medicine of everyday life: reading in the sunshine, gardening, hiking forest trails, paddleboarding quiet waters, kayaking, and walking her dogs, in nature, alongside Kerrie.

 

Our Purpose:

 

Together, we are a living reminder that healing does not arrive wrapped in ease. It arrives through grief, survival, reinvention, and the quiet decision to keep loving and living anyway. Resilience. And we are, forever in healing.

​

Our paths were shaped by love, caregiving, profound personal loss, alternative healing, and the kind of life experiences that crack people open - we could have been hardened or deepened. In both of us, our experiences deepened compassion.

 

Between us exists decades of lived wisdom in herbal wellness, caregiving, grief support, energy healing, nutrition, breathwork, end-of-life care, and holistic healing practices rooted not just in education, but in real life. We have sat beside illness, heartbreak, transition, death, rebirth, and the long road back to ourselves. We understand what it means to hold hope with trembling hands. What we each experienced, in similar but different ways, was the most difficult, most exhausting, most painful trial of our lives. Although we did everything we could in our battles, we still lost the war, and through finding one another, we got back up to try again. 

​

Kerrie brings a lifetime devoted to herbal and nutritional wellness, supporting hundreds of thousands of people throughout her career while carrying a deeply grounded belief that the body is capable of extraordinary healing when supported naturally and compassionately.

 

Kylee brings decades of holistic healing work and soul-centered personal care, combining energy healing, grief support, 9D breathwork, sacred cacao ceremony, and end-of-life guidance with fierce authenticity and heart.

​

Together, we create a space that is both deeply nurturing and refreshingly real. No judgment. No spiritual performance. No pretending life is always light and beautiful. Just two humans who have survived enough to know that healing is not linear, and that sometimes the greatest medicine is simply having someone willing to sit beside you in the dark until you remember your own light again.

​​

Our connection was born through extraordinary loss, divine timing, and what we believe to be soul-led guidance from the spouses we loved and lost. What we have built together is more than a wellness practice, it is a sanctuary for people seeking softer ways to heal, deeper ways to live, and meaningful support through life’s many transitions.
Whether you are navigating illness, grief, burnout, emotional overwhelm, spiritual awakening, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, we will meet you exactly where you are. Our work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through small achievable steps, compassionate support, nervous system safety, connection to nature, and remembering that you were never meant to walk this life alone.

​

Together, we are a grounded and soulful force, holding space for you, with equal parts tenderness and strength. We are the kind of people you want in your corner when life feels heavy; the kind of people who will remind you, gently and honestly, that even after setbacks, unimaginable loss, it is still possible to heal, to love, and to begin again and again. Whatever stage you are at, whatever brought you here, there are lessons here for us, in all of it. We are all forever in healing. Sit with us.
