Meet Selima
Iwilla is my middle name. Pronounced eye-WILL-uh, it means “I will rise.” My mother drew it from the words “I will arise” and carried that declaration into my name. Iwilla Remedy connects that family story to the herbal education, books, methods, and practical tools I now share.
I came to plant medicine through my own search for a more honest way to understand the body, emotional pain, and the path back to wholeness. That search became years of clinical practice, teaching, and a body of work rooted in African American herbal tradition.

Student and client experiences
Different paths, different outcomes. The common thread is clearer thinking, grounded practice, and support that meets people where they are.
Everyday Herbalism“My goal is to become an herbalist for my own family and community, and this was the best first step I have taken towards that goal. I want to help people naturally, but I want to make sure I know my stuff.”
Krista A.
Family Farmacy“I have taken a couple herbal classes before, so I already have the basics down, but this class has already taken my understanding to another level. The balance of the spiritual side of herbalism and the science side makes both sides of my brain so excited for each lesson.”

Herbal Medicine for the Soul®“This course was divine and aligned. I’m leaving feeling empowered and excited for my healing and wellness journey.

Private Herbal Consultation“Working with Selima has been transformative. From the start, our consultations felt like a true partnership. She reviewed my recent medical records and tailored a protocol specifically for me. Selima was incredibly responsive and flexible as we made adjustments. Three months in, I feel better than I have in years, and I’m optimistic and excited to continue working with Selima.”
