• Aloha, I'm Kayla!

    The herbalist, aromatherapist, business owner, and content creator behind Island Girl Apothecary.
    Becoming an herbalist was not the path I initially set out on. My journey didn’t begin until before I became a mother to my son Liam 7 years ago. While thinking about caring for this tiny human being, I quickly found myself increasingly drawn to the world of medicinal plants and holistic health for not only myself, but for my son too.
  •  I found myself frustrated with my doctors ignoring my body’s symptoms, while being on birth control & antidepressants from a young age and relying on prescription pills for my physical/mental illnesses and never getting to the root cause. All for conditions that were better managed through proper nutrition and supplementation! After taking control of my health, I started exploring the remarkable world of herbs, nutrition, essential oils, supplements & plant medicine. Through a combination of seeing a naturopathic doctor, consuming natural remedies, nutritional improvements & overall wellness lifestyle adjustments, I experienced a life changing & transformative change in my life!!
    This newfound passion for alternative medicine & holistic health led me to pivot away from the traditional medical path and dive into the world of holistic & whole body health. After completing various herbalism & aromatherapy courses, I embarked on a mission to share my knowledge and passion with others through social media. This desire gave birth to my company, Island Girl Apothecary, which specializes in expert-formulated herbal, aromatherapy, skincare & body care products. At Island Girl Apothecary, our mission is to help individuals maintain overall confidence within their body's functions, harnessing the healing power of plant medicine to promote wellness and vitality. With a deep love for herbalism and a commitment to holistic health, I'm dedicated to empowering others on their journey toward better well-being through the art, science, and wisdom of herbal medicine.
