"I suffered severe chemical sensitivities several years ago and have taken numerous measures to rebuild my health and resistance since then. Experimenting with various therapies and products, I’ve gradually found what does and doesn’t work for me. Simply stated, Kimberly’s great product ‘Liver Support’ has been a life saver. I don’t take it continuously, but when I feel my system is being taxed and symptoms begin to flare up, I always turn to it as a proven remedy. Usually within a day of beginning Liver Support I notice a significant improvement in health - reduced or complete relief of symptoms and an overall sense of well-being."

“I have used Root Vine Healing’s products for years. Every winter, as I start to feel my lips dry and chap, I start using the Miracle Salve and my lips stay soft and supple all winter long. I even use it on my elbows and heels and it keeps my skin nice and soft, never rough. My next favorite product is Mellow Out - This stuff is amazing! When I wake up in the middle of the night with thoughts that keep me from sleep, this tincture helps me get right back to sleep. I also use it when facing a particularly stressful event during the day and it helps to calm my racing thoughts and anxiety. I love it! I also use the cough and cold tinctures. I know that they reduce the severity and length of any colds that go through my house. I have two children and work with pre-schoolers, so I am exposed to a lot of germs. We have missed very little work and school thanks to Root Vine Healing’s herbs.”

“I’ve been using Kimberly’s tinctures for many years now, after coming across her ‘mellow out’ remedy (used for myself and my son) at a local craft fair. As much as I enjoy making my own, her formulas are so ideally and beautifully balanced that I still turn to her for her tasty, healing creations. When my son was 4, and had pertussis, Kimberly put together a custom support remedy for him that was key in his recovery. Healing, nurturing products, palatable for adults and kids alike, and a beautiful soul that puts her love into what she does.”

“Kimberly Hotelling has been my herbalist since 2007. Since that time her evaluations, on-going consultations and recommendations of herbs have dramatically improved my health and overall well- being. She has been instrumental in providing herbs for my mental health issues as well. Kimberly has been available and prompt whenever I have run out of herbs or need a consultation. Throughout my recent menopause and subsequent changes, she has also been extremely helpful. Her attention to detail and years of experience and knowledge have been a significant positive change in my life!”

“My family has been using Root Vine Healing’s products since our teens were babies. The bathroom cabinet is always stocked with our favorite remedies: Mellow Out, Lung Support, Tummy Soother, Sinus Oil, Allergy Relief, and our all-time favorite, couldn’t-live-without, Immune Booster, which we use at the first hint of a cough or cold. Each remedy has its own healing power, and they also taste good! We love seeing Root Vine Healing’s products in the homes of friends; we all agree that these are the best herbal remedies we have ever used. We feel most fortunate!”

" A few years ago I developed severe seasonal asthma. During the fall months I found myself struggling to stay healthy and to preform simple daily tasks. I resorted to a heavy dose of steroids, which further weakened my immune system. This became a pattern each fall. I was disheartened by my dependence on steroids and wanted to take a holistic approach to my health. Kimberly has provided this for me. Her herbs have allowed me to breath with ease for the past few autumns, and have promoted my overall health. I have not used traditional inhalers or steroids since. Kimberly’s skill and intuition are a true gift."

"My daughter enjoyed Kimberly’s herb camp for several years and always came home so proud of what she’d learned and made. Kimberly has steeped herself in the world of plants and nature and, like the best of teachers, she engages her students through an infectious sense of love, respect, and curiosity. This wisdom and enthusiasm are trumped only by her warmth and ability to make others feel at home. The combination of these gifts provided our daughter with the ideal first camp experience."

“Our family loved Kimberly's Herb Camp for years. As a mom of two really social and active children I always felt relieved that such an excellent camp was being offered. Kimberly and her assistants created a safe, warm, fun and magical camp that met the needs of all it's participants. There are many opportunities now a days to learn about herbs and other skills but many aren't as focused on children's developmental needs. Kimberly knows how to reach the head, heart and hands of children in an atmosphere of fun and reverence.”

“Every winter I have a sinus or respiratory issue. With all the warnings about over the counter medicine, I wanted to try medicinal herbs as an alternative. But I didn’t know much about them and it seemed overwhelming to learn. I found out about Kimberly’s 3 part Winter Wellness Series that was about the use of medicinal herbs dealing with sinus and respiratory problems. The course was fantastic. Kimberly taught us about the plants that would help, how they worked in our bodies and how to prepare them to use. Each class Kimberly prepared something delicious to eat and drink using the plants we were learning about. She taught us how to make tinctures, teas and syrups that we took home with us. Kimberly is excellent at explaining medicinal herbs in a way that is easy to understand. As a result I feel that I am developing a solid foundation to continue building my personal medicinal herb practice. I can’t wait for the Spring Series of classes.”

“Classes with Kimberly are a magical gathering of souls, all hopeful to connect in a deeper way with our ability to heal ourselves through the wisdom of plants. Kimberly approaches her classes with so much love and knowledge. Each topic feels well thought out, and flows in such a way that you can easily absorb the information being presented. The hands-on experience of working with the herbs makes for a deeper experience of integrating and acquainting with the plant friends. I have greatly enjoyed classes with Kimberly and plan to attend many more offerings from her!”
