MEET KATIE

Katie Braswell, of Wild + Well, is a Holistic Nutritionist and Registered Yoga Teacher based in Chattanooga, TN. Growing up with a health-conscious family, her passion for real food and wellness started at an early age. She focuses on optimizing women’s health at all stages of pregnancy and motherhood. She believes women’s health recommendations are drastically behind the times and has made it her mission to change that — using real food and ancestral methods that help women regain vibrancy and wellness. Her continued education has led her to graduate from the Lily Nichols Prenatal Nutrition Institute and the Fertility Academy.

MEET LEAH

I am the co-owner with my husband here at High Garden, and possibly most of all, a nature loving tree hugger, conservationist, wife, mother and daughter. I am a trained clinical level herbalist, studying under many incredible elder herbalists over the years. In fact, I’ve been practicing herbalism for over 20 years. Before creating High Garden, I used my Master’s degree in psychology to be an ecotherapist and help others find belonging in this beautiful wild home we all share. I am honored to now use my years of herbal study and practice to train herbalists through our Plantfolk Herbalism program as well as make the best dang herbal tea available.

I practice and teach EcoHerbalism, a term I created to represent the practice of working with plants while considering the entire scope of wellbeing when collecting them. Truly learning more than just their “uses” and more of how they help create this perfect web in which we all live.  Connection, Balance, Belonging. I am a forever student of the land and eternally grateful for the lessons.

Meet Colleen

Colleen Zeni is a mother of two and a holistic practitioner whose real education began in motherhood. A former preschool teacher, she witnessed early on how frequent antibiotics, limited food awareness, and a lack of support for root-cause healing were quietly impacting kids — and it lit a fire in her to find another way. In 2013, after a mentor handed her Nourishing Traditions and shared her story of vaccine injury, Colleen began a deep dive into ancestral nutrition, homeopathy, and functional wellness.

Over the years, she’s collected certifications, clinical hours, and plenty of lived experience — but her passion has always been making holistic care feel real and accessible for families. She understands how overwhelming the wellness world can be, especially for parents trying to do the right thing with limited time and a lot of pressure.

Today, Colleen is focused on in-person education, local community connection, and helping families feel prepared and confident — not perfect. Her heart is in helping others tune out the noise, slow down, and trust the wisdom they already have.

MEET CORINA

Rooted in the rhythms of seasonal and home-centered living, Corina enjoys a slower, more intentional pace—one that sees the garden as both a peaceful place and a source of good food. By caring for her country home and garden, she’s found that beauty and contentment often come from the simple, steady work of everyday life. As a homemaker and home curator, she believes a well-tended life starts at home. Through shared words, stories from her days, and hands-on workshops, Corina encourages others to embrace thoughtful homemaking—where living frugally can still feel elevated, and every corner of the home is shaped with care, purpose, and intention.

MEET SANDY
