Meet Cyndi
I didn't start here.
I found my way back.
For most of my life, I've been drawn to a slower, more grounded way of living. One rooted in plants, intuition, mindfulness, and paying attention to what the body is trying to say.
But like many women, there were seasons where I lost myself in the noise of life. Constant responsibility. Constant giving. Pushing through exhaustion. Ignoring the quiet signals that something deeper needed care.
Over time, I found my way back through the simple things: herbs growing in the garden, nourishing foods, moments of stillness, learning to breathe deeper, live slower, and reconnecting with what truly mattered. TerraSoul was born from that journey. A space where I could share the practices, plant wisdom, and grounded support that helped me come back to myself.
I don't claim to have all the answers. I'm simply sharing what I've learned along the way and creating space for other women to slow down, reconnect, and find what resonates with their own soul.
Rooted in Life & Learning
TerraSoul was not created from a trend, a business plan, or a quick certification course.
It was built from lived experience. For over 30 years, I've worked closely with people through seasons of stress, change, healing, burnout, reinvention, motherhood, loss, growth, and rebuilding. Long before TerraSoul existed, I was supporting women through mindfulness practices, meditation, intentional living, and whole-body wellness.
My path into herbalism began decades ago after my own personal health challenges led me to ask deeper questions about the body, stress, nourishment, rest, and emotional well-being.
Over the years, my studies naturally expanded into herbalism, mindfulness, meditation, hypnotherapy, nervous system support, and intuitive wellness practices, always with the belief that healing is never just physical.
My training includes
Family Herbalist Certification — Florida School of Holistic Living
Roots of Herbalism Certification - Florida School of Holistic Living
Certified Herbalist Training — Lost Remedies Academy
Continuing education in mindfulness, meditation, hypnotherapy, and holistic wellness practices
But more than anything, TerraSoul is rooted in real life.
It's built from years of listening, learning, supporting others, staying curious, and understanding that wellness is rarely about perfection — it's about creating small, grounded practices that help us reconnect with ourselves.
I spent a long time looking for someone who would sit with me long enough to truly understand what was happening in my body. Someone who wasn’t rushing to the next patient. Someone who understood that stress lives in the body, that sleep is deeply connected to the nervous system, and that what you eat, how you breathe, and whether you ever truly rest are all connected.
I couldn't find that person. So I became her.
The Work
Plants. Stillness.
Real conversation.
I'm a folk herbalist and meditation facilitator. I work with women who are exhausted, hormonally out of balance, or running on stress they've normalized for so long they've forgotten what it feels like to not be tired.
My approach is rooted in traditional herbalism, nervous system awareness, and the kind of deep listening many people never experience within traditional healthcare. I am not here to replace your doctor. I am here to help fill the space between “your labs are normal” and “I still don’t feel well.”"
Everything I make in the apothecary, every retreat I hold, every session I offer all comes from the same place. My own healing and the belief that your body is not the problem.
"I'm not here to override your body. I'm here to help you listen to it again."
"The plants I work with have been used for centuries. I didn't invent any of this. I just learned to trust it."
"Small batches. Intentional ingredients. Made in a kitchen that smells like cedar and chamomile."
About TerraSoul
From the earth.
For the soul.
TerraSoul is a small-batch herbal apothecary and wellness practice serving women in The Villages, FL and Plainfield, IL and beyond, through virtual consultations. Everything here, the teas, the tinctures, the salves, the retreats, the sessions are made or held by Cyndi. There is no team. There is no warehouse. There is no algorithm deciding what you need.
The name says it simply: Terra — earth. Soul — because the body and the spirit are not separate things. The plants know that. Cyndi does too.
If you've found your way here, something brought you. Trust that.
