Meet Bethany Crank | Certified Herbalist/Birthing Doula/Beekeeper

We had the good fortune of connecting with Bethany Crank and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bethany, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
As an herbalist, birthing doula and healer, I believe in the power of plants to support the body’s natural healing process and address/treats underlying imbalances contributing to conditions like cancer, diabetes and more. I work holistically, addressing not just symptoms but also underlying causes, aiming to restore balance and vitality. Each client’s journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to their specific needs and circumstances.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My work is deeply influenced by the herbal healing traditions of my ancestors. They used plants for healing, and I’m honored to continue this legacy. My passion comes from personal experiences, witnessing loved ones suffer and pass away from medication side effects. This drove me to explore natural healing methods.

I believe I’m walking in my purpose, using my gifts to empower others to take control of their health naturally. I blend ancestral wisdom with modern understanding to create personalized healing plans. My journey is fueled by a deep commitment to making a difference and offering an alternative to conventional medicine.

My biggest achievement thus far would have to be; me assisting a stage 4 lung cancer patient to FULL recovery! He is now CANCER FREE & he was only took my products a whole year! I make all of my products myself and by hand. So this was BEYOND an achievement- this was for my ancestors and anyone else who’s lost a loved one to cancer. When I win- WE ALL WIN! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH for blessing me with such an amazing gift.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
That would have to be my brother and my sister! They have been there every step of the way- from giving me the info on how to get my LLC’s, furnishing my office space, mentally keeping me in a healthy space, LOVING ME and helping me through it all.
