Shawnté

Owner, Holistic Practitioner, Spiritualist

Hello, beautiful soul! I’m Shawnte’ — your holistic practitioner and the heart behind Daughter of Ra Apothecary.

My love for herbalism was planted early — in my Granny’s garden, barefoot and wide-eyed, where the air was thick with the scent of rosemary and morning songs. Every day, we’d step out into our little Eden. Granny would talk to the plants like old friends, and I listened closely, soaking in every word about the temperament of each herb, the soul of the soil, and the sacred dance between nature and nurture.

We spent our mornings in that garden and our afternoons in her sun room and kitchen — the true alchemy labs of my childhood. There, we dried herbs, canned fresh fruit, brewed tinctures, bitters, and lovingly prepared healing meals for the family.

In our home, treating colds, fevers, or everyday ailments with plants and natural remedies wasn’t a trend — it was just life. The words “holistic” or “herbalist” were never said out loud. They didn’t need to be. It was simply how Granny did it. And how her Granny did it. And how her Granny before her brought these healing traditions from Central Africa to the western world — an unbroken lineage of wisdom passed down from hand to heart.

Today, I am deeply honored to carry the torch — to answer the ancestral call and share this sacred knowledge with my community, just as Granny did. I believe with all my heart that healing begins when we are empowered with knowledge, rooted in tradition, and surrounded by nurturing energy — both within and around us.

I’m humbly grateful to walk this path in service to you and your family. Thank you for letting me into your healing journey. I truly believe our paths crossed for a divine reason.

Let’s share sacred space together.

Sending you the warmest light of Ra,
— Shawnte’
Your Holistic Practitioner
