Rooted in ritual. Guided by spirit. Grounded in truth.
I believe every transition — from first breath to final one — holds the power to transform us.

My work is to help you move through these moments with intention, care, and connection — using the wisdom of our ancestors and the tools of modern healing.

My Path to Ancestral Roots.
I’ve always been drawn to the in-between — the sacred space where endings become beginnings.
From years as a birth and death doula to my work as a Reiki Master and herbalist, I’ve witnessed how people bloom when they feel seen, supported, and spiritually aligned.

Ancestral Roots grew from that knowing: that healing isn’t just physical or emotional — it’s ancestral, energetic, and deeply human.

The Ancestral Roots Way.
My approach weaves ancestral wisdom with intuitive coaching and energy healing. Each session is a collaboration — rooted in compassion, guided by spirit, and grounded in practical tools for everyday life.

Healing here is not about perfection — it’s about reconnection.

Who Am I?

Hi! I’m Lolonyo—most folks just call me Lo—and I’m the heart behind Ancestral Roots Herbal Remedies. I’m a Holistic Practitioner, deepening my commitment every day to holding space for connection, healing, and joy in every form.

Ancestral Roots was born from a lifelong passion for natural wellness and a deep reverence for ancestral knowledge. What started with herbal remedies in my kitchen has grown into a full-spectrum healing practice offering so much more.

As a single mom, cat mama, and proud DMV native-daughter, I bring lived experience, heart, and humor to every aspect of my work. My mission is to support all people—especially Black and Brown folks, LGBTQIA+ communities, and those too often left out of traditional care—with dignity, compassion, and radical presence.

Whether we’re planning, birthing, grieving, or growing, I’m honored to walk beside you.
