The name at the heart of this workIwilla means “I will rise.”

Meet Selima

I’m Selima, and Iwilla is the promise at the heart of this work.

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

Confidence can grow at every stage.

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.”

@ruelliabotanicals
Herbal Medicine for the Soul®

“This course was divine and aligned. I’m leaving feeling empowered and excited for my healing and wellness journey. I’ve broken barriers and pushed through many comfort zones to get to the finish line. This was the first time I felt seen in an educational setting, and it made a huge difference.”

Jasmine B.
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.”

Missy B.

Frequently asked questions

Choose your next step with clarity.

Start with the smallest path that fits. You can deepen your study when you are ready.

Where should a complete beginner start?

For a free overview, start with the on-demand masterclass. For a structured beginner course you can revisit, choose Everyday Herbalism, which teaches you to choose, prepare, and begin using herbs safely in under one hour.

What is the difference between Everyday Herbalism and Family Farmacy?

Everyday Herbalism is the simple first step. Family Farmacy is a substantial, self-paced herbs-and-body-systems reference and course for learners who want more depth, including self-directed learners, caregivers, and people preparing for deeper study.

Is HM4S appropriate if I do not want to become a professional herbalist?

Yes. Herbal Medicine for the Soul® can support personal healing, family and community care, or professional application. The fit is depth and whole-person practice, not a requirement to start a business.

What is the difference between a course and a private consultation?

A course teaches a reusable body of knowledge. A Private Herbal Consultation centers your personal history, goals, and a customized wellness protocol.

Can I still access something I previously purchased?

Yes. Use the Log In link at the top of this page to access your Kajabi library. If something is missing, contact Iwilla Remedy support for help locating your purchase.

Does this education replace medical care?

No. Iwilla Remedy provides herbal education and wellness guidance. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease, and it does not replace medical advice. Responsible herbal practice includes seeking qualified medical care when you need it.
