Welcome to the Heart of Herbs Herbal School Podcast! I’m your host, Demetria Clark — herbalist, educator, and founder of Heart of Herbs Herbal School. I'm so excited you're here today because we have an incredible guest joining us — KhadiYah Preciado of Yah’s Apothecary.

KhadiYah is a dynamic herbalist, educator, and entrepreneur whose work weaves together African-centered herbalism, Biblical wisdom, and modern holistic practice. She’s the founder and lead educator at Yah’s Apothecary, a rich and vibrant space offering classes, books, formulas, and guidance for herbalists and healers who want to build sustainable, profitable, and spirit-rooted herbal businesses.

In this episode, we dive into what it means to practice African-centered herbalism in modern times, how our faith and ancestral traditions can guide us, and Kadia’s inspiring journey from health-conscious teen to thriving herbal educator. We also explore the powerful ways she teaches safety, sustainability, and empowerment in herbal practice.
