A Vincentian woman, who after her own battle with breast cancer, is now a Herbalist known for bringing herbal healing to many, worldwide. 

This is her story. 

Adina Neverson-Cortez’s journey from nanny to herbalist is one of transformation, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to wellness. Raised in the village of Questelles in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Adina was deeply influenced by her parents, Tyrell (known as Brother T) and Annie Williams. 

Her father , a well-respected figure in the community, taught her the values of strength, resilience, and unity, he also instilled in her the importance of kindness, care, and nurturing. These foundational lessons formed the bedrock of Adina’s character , shaping her approach to life and later influencing her unique path to healing.

For many, the path to finding their true calling is never a straight line, and Adina ’ s story is a testament to that. Before embracing herbalism, she worked as a nanny, caring for children and fostering strong, compassionate bonds with those in her care. Her nurturing spirit and deep love for helping others formed the foundation for what would become her life’s mission—healing. However, this mission would not come to fruition through chance. It was born out of a deeply personal transformation that would forever change her life and the lives of those she touched.

In 2014, Adina was diagnosed with breast cancer . For most, such a diagnosis would be an overwhelming and devastating blow , but for Adina, it marked the beginning of a profound turning point. While she pursued conventional treatments, she also sought out alternative ways to heal, which led her to the work of Dr . Sebi. Known for his teachings on the power of plants, herbs, and a plant-based diet, Dr . Sebi’s philosophy resonated deeply with Adina. It offered her not only hope but also a new direction for her healing. This holistic approach became the cornerstone of her own wellness journey and ignited a lifelong passion for natural remedies.

As Adina immersed herself in the study of herbalism, her transformation extended far beyond the physical. She began to view health in a more holistic way — understanding that healing encompasses not just the body, but also the mind and spirit. This deepened perspective on wellness gave her a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. She soon discovered that true healing is about more than just alleviating symptoms; it’s about nurturing the entire person—mind, body, and soul.

Adina’s health began to improve, and as it did, so did her desire to share her newfound wisdom with others. What began as a personal journey to heal herself evolved into a mission to help others reclaim their health. As she honed her knowledge of herbs, nutrition, and holistic practices, she realized that her purpose was not just to heal herself but to empower others to take control of their health. Her personal experience with cancer and the healing power of plants inspired her to become a source of guidance for those seeking natural, holistic solutions. Today, Adina offers personalized herbal consultations, combining ancient wisdom with modern understanding. She works with individuals facing chronic illness, those looking to prevent futurehealth issues, and those simply seeking to improve their overall well-being. 

Adina’s approach is deeply compassionate and rooted in the nurturing spirit she developed during her years as a nanny.

She understands that healing is not just about remedies, but about creating a safe, supportive space where individuals can heal emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Adina ’s journey has come full circle. From her early life in St. Vincent, where she learned the values of care and resilience, to her personal battle with cancer that led her to herbalism, Adina has built a life that reflects her passion for wellness and her dedication to helping others. Now living in the serene beauty of North Carolina with her husband, Adina’s home is a sanctuary of peace and care. Their life together is one filled with mutual respect, love, and a shared devotion to wellness.

Every aspect of their home reflects Adina’s deep connection to nature and her belief in its healing power. Adina’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of following one’s heart, and the transformative power of nature. Through her own journey of healing, she discovered not only a path to health for herself but also a way to empower others.
