Her ROOTS

Hi I'm Kofiyah and I am an herbalist. If nature created it, I'm in it! I love Water, Sunshine, Rainwater, Worms, Ants, Bees oh the list can go on and on... I love my homeland Jamaica where my herbal journey began at the  tender age of 7. I was very sickly growing up, to this day I believe the Sun sustained me during the many years of illnesses  I dealt with. 

The day finally came  when Dr. Patel (I will never forget her) on Barnett Street Montego Bay in Jamaica told my mother take her home and make her comfortable. I remember my mother crying as we drove back to the country, her sobs will never leave me to this day. We got to the house and my mother called for my grandmother, and she told her "Janet is not going too make it". 

My grandmother ran with her hands on her head while screaming for our neighbor Cynthia. They took off into the bush and came back later that night with smelly, spiced, and some sweet smelling plants. I was given a "Bath" and steamed over a clothes wash pan. My weak little body tried to fight them off but to no avail, they won or should I say I won! The next morning I was back outside with my dogs playing in the Jamaican sun. The herbs healed me. From that night my connection and journey with plants, herbs and healing began.

 I became a certified Herbalist just over 10 years ago, and have been teaching on how how herbs work in the body. While on a trip to Jordan  in 2023 my husband Aryeh and I were picking Wild Basil in the Wadi Rum Desert a  revelation came to me to heal a different way. Too many times people purchase blended or mixed herbs and don't fully get the desired results. I decided to use my expertise in crafting my teas using what I have forged and so Onyx Glori was born. To date many people have been healed and informed by my knowledge.  I love to help people feel better, it's in my bones. If you ever need a true natural healer, reach out to me, it's my joy to see you well. My roots run deep in herbs and their healing powers.
