🌹 Nourish HER: A Day of HERbal Self-Care
~ Where women gather to release, replenish, and return to themselves.
Nourish HER is an intimate, day-long retreat rooted in herbal wellness, gentle cannabis-infused self-care, and sisterhood. This restorative experience invites you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that deserve tending.
Our Roots: The Story of HERbal Rooted Wellness
HERbal Rooted Wellness was born from Melinda Toussaint, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Cannabis Consultant and Educator, Wellness Practitioner, and co-founder of MariCare Wellness’s passion for creating intimate spaces where women can connect, heal, and leave feeling lighter and inspired. For her, balancing self-care, spirituality, and plant medicine has been a lifeline, restoring not only the body but also the heart and spirit.
As she connected with more women, Melinda recognized a deep need — especially among women of color — for safe, stigma-free spaces to explore herbal medicine, rest without guilt, and heal in community. This vision led her to partner with Dr. Paulette Smith, a licensed clinical social worker and owner of Paulette Simone & Associates, a Maryland-based mental health practice, and Canna Heals, a consulting company specializing in cannabis science, education, and integrative wellness. Together, they united their expertise and passions for holistic health, mental well-being, and cannabis education to create a powerful, heart-centered space where women can truly thrive.
Today, HERbal Rooted Wellness is more than just a gathering. It’s a sisterhood — rooted in HER — that offers healing circles, herbal education, plant-friendly gatherings, and immersive retreats designed to help women reconnect with their power, softness, and joy.
