Hi, I’m Corey. My journey into holistic healing has been one of growth and transformation, shaped by both personal challenges and professional milestones. I began in esthetician school, unsure of my exact path but consistently drawn to holistic, natural approaches to health. That curiosity led me to the Wellspring School for Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon, where I completed the Amma Therapy program, a two-year training integrating Western sciences with bodywork rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). During this time, I also discovered the healing power of herbal formulas, sparking a deep and lasting connection with plant medicine.

In 2019, I began formal herbal studies in Eugene, Oregon, and started creating my own herbal products including body butters, salves, lip balms, and more. Not long after, I moved to Missouri, where my ancestral roots are, and began building Vibrant Spruce Herbals, blending bodywork and herbalism to support holistic health.

A pivotal moment in my career came in October 2024, when I completed my Craniosacral Therapy certification through the Heartwood Institute for Integrative Medicine in Minnesota. Traveling for trainings while living in Missouri was no small feat, and this certification greatly expanded my ability to support clients dealing with trauma, stress, chronic pain, and nervous system dysregulation through gentle, energy-based touch.

Just two months later, in December 2024, my life changed forever with the sudden loss of my husband, Chance. He was not only my life partner, but my right-hand man in building this business. Grieving his loss while continuing forward has been one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced, yet I carry his lessons of resilience, passion, and dedication into everything I do.

Through this period of mourning, I’ve found renewed purpose. The healing practices I offer have been a lifeline for me, and I bring that lived experience into my work. Whether through massage therapy, Craniosacral therapy, or herbal medicine, my intention is to help others find balance and support in their own healing journeys.

I’m excited to share that I’ve recently launched herbal consultations as a new offering. After years of study and hands-on product creation, I’m now offering personalized herbal guidance to support overall well-being and common health concerns. As this is a new service, I’m offering consultations on a sliding scale for the first few months, making them more accessible while I continue refining this aspect of my practice.

I believe deeply in the power of plants and compassionate care. Thank you for being part of my journey. I’m honored to support your healing, whether through bodywork, Craniosacral therapy, or herbal consultations. Let’s work together to find the balance and support you deserve.
