Vision Statement for HWB Las Vegas Chapter
The HWB Las Vegas Chapter exists to ensure that wellness is not a luxury. By combining high-level clinical mentorship with radical herbal access, we are building a community where every individual has the knowledge to listen to their body and the resources to support it.
The HWB Las Vegas Chapter is dedicated to reclaiming community health through our 2026 initiatives.
Clinical Support:
Establishing no-cost 1:1 community consultations that serve as “teaching clinics.” This provides the public with personalized herbal protocols while allowing Level 3 Mentees – Herbalists Apprentices to move from theory to applied clinical practice.
Empowering Education:
Hosting monthly free community classes designed to transform participants into “Self-Health Advocates or assist the Aspiring Herbalists to “Become Their Own Client” as they learn to advocate with their future private clients or fellow community members.
The People’s Dispensary:
Expanding the distribution of free bulk herbs and handcrafted remedies by 50%. We are evolving our monthly pop-ups into Herbal Resource Hubs to ensure community members have the physical tools (teas, tinctures, and salves) to match their education.
Learning-to-Doing Pipeline:
Connecting our weekly virtual sessions to physical resource distribution. Through a “Remedy Reward” system, virtual attendees gain a direct path to receiving free supplies at our local pop-up events along with community members who attend.
Our Community Needs:
In the Las Vegas valley, we face significant gaps in chronic disease support and healthcare accessibility. We see an urgent need for foundational wellness education that addresses the high rates of Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular stress, and digestive imbalances within our community. Our neighbors need more than just information; they need the physical resources and the advocacy skills to navigate their health journeys in a desert environment.
Our Area of Focus:
The Las Vegas Chapter is dedicated to reclaiming community health through a “Learning-to-Doing” model. Our primary focus areas include:
Self-Health Advocacy & Education:
We host monthly classes and weekly virtual sessions designed to help community members learn holistic principles so they can make informed decisions as well as help Aspiring Herbalists to “Become Their Own Client” as they journey towards teaching clients / their community. We specialize in teaching the herbal and lifestyle foundations of Digestive Wellness, Heart Health, and Type 2 Diabetes education, moving the community from passive care to active self-advocacy.
The People’s Dispensary:
We believe education is most effective when paired with action. Through our Herbal Resource Hubs, we provide free bulk herbs, handcrafted remedies, and specific “Care Kits” to ensure our members have the tools to support their metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Clinical Teaching Clinics:
We provide no-cost 1:1 community consultations. These sessions offer personalized protocols to our neighbors while serving as clinical “Teaching Clinics” where our advanced herbalist apprentices move from theory to applied practice.
Metabolic & Cardiovascular Support:
By focusing on the intersections of the gut, heart, and blood sugar, we aim to reduce the burden of chronic illness in our community through radical herbal accessibility.

Why You Should Donate:
Our chapter focuses on bridging the ‘wellness gap’ for low-income residents in the Las Vegas valley who have been historically excluded from holistic care due to financial barriers. We address this by providing radical accessibility: offering no-cost 1:1 clinical consultations and free ‘Care Kits’ specifically formulated for each client with the herb donations on hand.
By removing the financial burden of both professional guidance and high-quality herbal supplies, we empowered underserved community members to transition from passive recipients of care to informed Self-Health Advocates, ensuring that foundational wellness is a right, not a luxury.
