Wellness
Rooted in Wellness. Proven in Results.
I have done hair for thirty-six years, and owned my salon for thirty. It took me most of that time to understand that the chair can only do half the work. A woman would sit down shedding, and I could treat the scalp, but I could not treat the reason. The reason was inside. So I went back to school.
I trained at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and became a Certified Health Coach, then went further into the two systems I kept seeing in the chair: the gut, and the hormones. Gut Health and Hormone Health are my advanced certifications. Everything on this page comes out of those two rooms.
What IIN taught me is simple and it is the whole method. No one diet fits every body. What feeds you is not only food; it is your relationships, your work, your movement, your faith. And you do not fight the bad out, you crowd it out with the good. That is The Somalia Method: inside first.
My passion is the woman, or the man, who has tried everything and is tired. I am not here to sell you a cabinet. I am here to help you on your journey, one pour and one cup at a time.
What I work with
Superfoods
Black seed, Ceylon cinnamon, sea buckthorn, moringa, maca, chlorella, and the mushrooms: lion's mane, chaga, reishi. Whole foods the body has used for a thousand years, ground fine so a teaspoon goes in your coffee or your water and the work gets done. I started with one black seed. The rest followed.
Herbal teas
Five blends, each with one job, built from the herbs I trust. Bhringraj and he shou wu for the hair. Raspberry leaf and hibiscus for the cycle. Shatavari and red clover for the change. Valerian and chamomile for sleep. Senna and hawthorn for the cleanse. A cup is the easiest habit a person can keep.
Liquid vitamins
Core Elixir, The Drops, Iron Flow. Liquid because it is absorbed as it is swallowed and because people stay consistent with a pour where they quit on a pill. The gaps I see most: D, iron, B12, zinc. These close them.

You do not need a cabinet. You need a morning, a midday, and an evening.
Morning
Two tablespoons of Core Elixir. One pour, 23 nutrients, done. Add Iron Flow if you run low.
Midday
A quarter teaspoon of Ceylon Cinnamon + Black Seed in warm water or coffee. Steadier afternoon.
Evening
The Drops at bedtime. A cup of Calm. Silk on the pillow. Sleep is where the work happens.
Hair
Hair is the last thing the body feeds and the first thing it cuts. When you are shedding, the body is telling you something ran out. We put it back.
Core Elixir. The foundation. 10,000 mcg biotin, zinc, D, B12 and methylfolate in one liquid pour.
Iron Flow. Gentle liquid iron with C and B12. Low iron is the most common reason a woman's hair thins, and the least checked.
C2 Colostrum + Collagen. The protein the strand is made of, with colostrum for the gut that absorbs it.
Mane Tresses Tea. Bhringraj, he shou wu and black sesame. Drink it, or cool it and pour it over the scalp.
The Drops. D3 with K2, taken at night. Most of the women in my chair test low in D.
Energy + Focus
Not caffeine. Nutrition. The B vitamins that turn food into energy, the minerals that carry oxygen, and the mushrooms that keep the mind clear.
Core Elixir. The full B complex, CoQ10 and chromium, every morning.
Iron Flow. If you are tired and your hair is thinning, start here.
Lion's Mane. The mushroom for focus and memory. Stir into coffee.
Maca. Root for stamina and drive, for women and men.
Moringa. The leaf with more iron than spinach and more calcium than milk, by weight.
Chlorella. Green algae for daily detox and steady energy.
Hormones + Balance
Every phase has a different ask. The cycle, the years around it, and the change itself. These are the ones I reach for.
The Blend. Raspberry leaf and hibiscus, loose leaf, caffeine free. Every phase, every woman.
Balance Tea. Shatavari, red clover and dandelion. The morning cup for the change.
The PCOS Code. For irregular cycles, stubborn weight and thinning hair that travel together.
Maca. For libido, mood and the change.
Ashwagandha. The adaptogen for cortisol, which sits upstream of everything else.
The Drops. D3 and K2 for bone and mood as estrogen shifts.
Her Daily 4. The four daily essentials, bundled.
Blood Sugar
Cravings, the three o'clock crash, and the numbers at the doctor. Two seeds, used every day, and a log to prove it to yourself.
Ceylon Cinnamon + Black Seed. True Ceylon and pure Nigella sativa, a quarter teaspoon daily. Supports blood sugar already in the normal range.
Black Seed Powder. The seed of blessing, ground fine. The one I started with.
The Ceylon + Black Seed Guide. Free. How to take it and what to watch.
My Daily Numbers: 90-Day Log. Free. Write it down for ninety days. The number will move.
Gut + Immunity
Nothing you take works if the gut cannot absorb it. Fix the gut, and the hair, skin and energy products start working harder.
C2 Colostrum + Collagen. Colostrum for the gut lining, collagen for everything the gut feeds.
Black Seeds. Whole, to chew or steep. Immune support the way it has been used for a thousand years.
Chaga. The antioxidant mushroom. Earthy, good in coffee.
Reishi. The immune mushroom, best in the evening.
Chlorella. Binds and carries out what the body does not need.
Night Cleanse Tea. Senna, hawthorn and lotus leaf. Every other night, while you sleep.
Rest + Stress
Stress shows in the hairline first. Edges, a part that widens, shedding three months after the hard season. Lower the cortisol and the hair follows.
Calm Tea. Chamomile, valerian and lavender for the hour before bed.
Ashwagandha. The adaptogen. Take it in the evening.
Reishi. For deeper sleep and a calmer immune system.
Night Cleanse Tea. Let the body do its work overnight.
The Drops. One dropper at bedtime.
Silk. The pillowcase and the scarf. Protect what you built while you sleep.
The teas
Five blends, each with one job. Mane Tresses for the hair, and you can pour the cooled cup over your scalp. The Blend for the cycle, every phase. Balance for the change. Calm for the hour before bed. Night Cleanse for the gut, every other night.
