Today we’d like to introduce you to Azmera Elene.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My path into herbalism and holistic healing was forged through loss, pain, and ultimately, remembrance. I lost both my mother and my sister to cancer—experiences that forever changed how I understood the body, healing, and what it truly means to be well. Watching the people I loved most endure so much, while feeling powerless within systems that treated the body in fragments, awakened something deep within me.
Around that same time, I was navigating my own physical journey, I was involved in a drunk driving accident that included me having to go through nine back surgeries that profoundly altered my relationship with my body. There came a moment when I realized that survival alone was not enough—I needed a way to truly heal, to get off the opioids and reconnect with my body rather than battle it. That realization became the turning point.
I began turning toward the plants, and I mean all plants especially cannabis. I turned toward ancestral wisdom, and toward spiritual practices that honor the body as intelligent and sacred. Herbal medicine, energetic healing, and nature-based rituals didn’t just support my recovery—they helped me grieve, soften, and remember who I was beneath the pain. Through that process, I learned that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about restoring relationship—with the body, with the Earth, and with the soul.
What began as personal survival slowly transformed into a calling. Along my journey, I was also guided by teachers who helped me expand my understanding of healing beyond what I had previously known. One of the most impactful encounters was meeting Nydia, known as The Serpent Sage. Her work, integrity, and deep respect for sacred medicines profoundly influenced the way I understand healing, the body, and consciousness.
Through her, I was introduced to a more expansive perspective on sacred medicines—particularly snake and frog venoms—not as something to fear, but as ancient, intelligent allies when approached with reverence, knowledge, and responsibility. Watching her work with such precision, humility, and devotion reminded me that true healing requires both courage and discernment.
Nydia’s presence reaffirmed something I already felt in my bones: that the body is not fragile, that nature holds profound wisdom, and that medicine—when honored properly—can awaken deep layers of restoration and awareness. Her example continues to inspire me to walk my own path with integrity, respect for lineage, and a deep commitment to ethical, conscious healing practices.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Absolutely Not!!.. No, No, No, it hasn’t been a smooth road at all. There were seasons where everything I thought I knew—about healing, faith, my body, and even myself—fell apart. Grief from losing my mother and sister, combined with years of physical pain and recovery, stripped away any illusion of control. There were moments when I was simply surviving, not healing.
One of the deepest struggles was realizing that many of the belief systems I had inherited—especially around religion and healing—no longer aligned with my lived truth. I had to unlearn fear-based teachings and external authority, and slowly rebuild a relationship with spirituality that was rooted in discernment, embodiment, and truth rather than dogma. That process was lonely at times and required a great deal of courage.
I also had to relearn how to trust my body after years of trauma and medical intervention. Healing didn’t move in a straight line, and there were days when progress felt invisible. Holding space for others while still doing my own inner work was emotionally demanding, and there were moments I questioned whether I was strong enough to continue.
But those struggles became initiations. They taught me how to listen deeply, how to separate belief from truth, and how to stand firmly in my own knowing. The road was not smooth, but it was honest—and it shaped the grounded, compassionate way I now walk alongside others in their healing journeys.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My work is rooted in intention, relationship, and respect—especially when it comes to plants. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey is my organic garden, which my fiancé lovingly started for me as a living extension of my healing path. That garden is not just where organic fruits, herbs & veggies grow—it’s where I reconnect, listen, and steward the plants with care. It reflects the way I approach wellness: slowly, intentionally, and in relationship with the Earth.
I don’t offer herbs casually or as one-size-fits-all solutions. I work with plants as allies, not commodities. That means I’m discerning about who I serve and how. Every person’s body, history, and energetic landscape is different, and I believe herbs deserve to be offered with education, respect, and responsibility. My goal is never to sell something just to sell it or because it worked for a friend or you saw it on social media—it’s to support alignment, safety, and true healing.
In addition to herbal medicine, I incorporate tools like the AO Scan as a supportive, informational modality. I use it as a way to help clients gain insight into patterns, stressors, and energetic imbalances so we can have more informed, grounded conversations about their wellness. It’s not about diagnosis or replacement of medical care—it’s about awareness, empowerment, and collaboration with the body.
What sets my work apart is that it is lived, embodied, and deeply ethical. Everything I offer—whether it’s herbs, wellness sessions, or education—comes from devotion, not trend. I’m most proud of the integrity behind my brand: the choice to move slowly, to honor the plants, and to prioritize truth and trust over convenience.
What I want readers to know is that my work is not transactional—it’s relational. It’s an invitation to reconnect with nature, with the body, and with a deeper sense of self, guided by wisdom that is both ancient and deeply personal.

I also welcome readers to join the All About Organics Facebook page, where I regularly share herbal education, reflections, and community-centered content rooted in respect for the plants and the healing process.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
One of my favorite childhood memories is spending time outside, planting flowers with my mother surrounded by nature, where everything felt simple and alive. I remember moments of quiet curiosity—watching plants grow, feeling the earth beneath my feet, and sensing a kind of peace that didn’t need words. Those moments gave me a sense of safety and belonging that I didn’t yet know how to name.
Looking back, I see how those early experiences planted the seeds for the work I do today. Nature was my first teacher. Even then, it felt like a place where I could breathe, listen, and just be. That feeling has stayed with me, and it’s something I still return to—especially through gardening, working with herbs, and creating spaces where others can reconnect with that same sense of grounding and wonder.
