About Herbs Love And Yoga
Herbs Love And Yoga Philosophy
At Herbs Love + Yoga, our mission is to support healing and transformation through accessible, plant-based practices and holistic education. We provide high-quality herbal training, Reiki certifications, and yoga classes, all rooted in a deep respect for plant wisdom and the interconnected nature of mind, body, and spirit. Through nourishing remedies, experiential learning, and heart-centered practices, we cultivate a space where community, self-trust, and vibrant health can flourish.
Our Values
- Local & Accessible Medicine: We nourish health using common, abundant plants that grow around us, trusting in the medicine close to home.
- Traditional Preparation: We prepare herbal medicine using traditional methods—teas, tinctures, honeys, vinegars, syrups, oils, and salves—to honor the whole plant's wisdom, nutrition, and spirit.
- Honoring Plant Elders: We view plants as elders and teachers, listening with humility and gratitude. We harvest mindfully and sustainably, in reciprocity with the Earth's rhythms, honoring those who passed down these sacred teachings.
- Innate Healing & Whole-Person Care: We trust the body’s innate capacity to heal, focusing on long-term nourishment and care for the whole person—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
- Sacred Ritual: We honor ritual as a sacred tool for healing, transformation, and connection to the unseen.
- Integrity & Discernment: We value honesty, integrity, and discernment, acknowledging the limits of herbal medicine and respecting Western medicine's role, always offering transparency in our care.
- Partnership in Healing: We believe healing is a partnership grounded in presence, compassion, and empowerment, embracing the endless possibility of growth and transformation.
- Embracing Life's Fullness: We trust in a benevolent universe and the highest vibration of love, honoring the fullness of life—the light and the dark—and embracing its wild, chaotic, and beautiful nature.
- Disease as Messenger: We see disease as a messenger, offering insight and an invitation to return to ourselves.
- Continuous Learning: We remain ever-learning, ever-growing, guided by nature, our inner knowing, and the wisdom that lives in our bodies and the plants.
Meet Alyssa Mancini: Founder + Master Herbalist
I understand the frustration of facing health challenges without true support. Years ago, a PCOS diagnosis led me to conventional symptom management. Knowing I deserved true healing, I partnered with my doctor, tapered medications, and embraced a focused herbal protocol. Within three months, my hormones balanced, and symptoms vanished. This personal journey ignited my passion to help others.
If you're tired of feeling dismissed or unsupported in your health journey, you're not alone. I'm here to hold space, guide you with compassion, and offer grounded, evidence-informed support.
With over 15 years of experience teaching high school biology and chemistry, I bring a deep understanding of the body—and a passion for making that knowledge accessible and empowering. As a clinical herbalist (9 years), yoga teacher (over a decade), and Reiki master, I approach wellness as a full-spectrum journey for mind, body, and spirit.
When I opened Herbs Love and Yoga, my vision was to create more than just a shop. We are a state-certified manufacturer of herbal dietary supplements and CBD products, with every remedy crafted in-house, grounded in integrity, safety, and deep respect for the plants.

Meet Reiki Practicioner, Dorin McBride
My name is Dorin McBride and I am a level 3 Master Reiki Practitioner. I have been practicing Reiki since 2015 and I completed my Level 3 training here with Alyssa Mancini in November of 2023. I am very excited to offer Reiki services now at Herbs Love and Yoga! I use my intuition to help guide my hands and my focus during each session and I strive to make our time together as insightful, restful and rejuvenating as possible. I believe that Reiki can be beneficial for all (humans and animals) and I will start each session by discussing your comfort levels and goals.
