Tired of hearing“everything looks normal”?
You're not crazy. You're not making it up. You just need someone who looks deeper — past the “normal” lab ranges, past the quick prescription, past the shrug.
You need someone who listens.
- Fatigue that won’t quit.
- Weight that won’t budge.
- Sleep that won’t come.
- Brain fog that won’t clear.
- Hormones that feel off.
Does any of this sound like you?
Check what fits. It takes thirty seconds, nothing is stored, and you will get a plain-language read on what to do next.
Prefer to read first? Five signs your hormones deserve a closer look.
The Willow Sage difference
We don't hand you a prescription and send you home.
The traditional medical model treats symptoms — one pill for each ailment — without asking why the ailment showed up in the first place. After 25 years inside that system, Sybilla knew there had to be a better way.
At Willow Sage, we sit down with you. We listen to the whole story — not just the symptoms, but the lifestyle, the stress, the diet, the sleep, the history. Then we look for what's actually causing the problem.
Natural herbs, vitamins, minerals, and the body's own ability to heal — paired with real functional testing that shows what's really going on.
What if healthcare actually listened?
The old way
- —15 minutes, then a prescription
- —“Your labs are normal” — end of conversation
- —One symptom, one pill, no deeper questions
- —Come back if it gets worse
- —You leave feeling like a number
The Willow Sage way
- +A real conversation about your whole story
- +Functional labs that find what standard ranges miss
- +Root-cause healing — herbs, minerals, nutrition, bodywork
- +A plan that adapts as your body changes
- +You leave feeling like someone actually cares
Same symptoms. Same person. Completely different experience. That's the difference between treating a chart and treating a human.

You leave with a plan
Which testing, if any, makes sense next. You decide the pace.
“I was exhausted for months. My doctor said my labs were fine. Then I found Willow Sage.”
A composite of what we hear from new clients. Individual results vary.
You walk in with fatigue, weight gain, months of poor sleep. You've been told nothing's wrong. You feel dismissed.
We run real labs — panel bloodwork, a DUTCH hormone test, HTMA mineral analysis. The tests most providers never order.
Results show what was missed: hormone imbalance, inflammation, mineral depletion. Now we have answers.
We build your plan: targeted supplements, diet shifts, exercise that fits your life, infrared sauna, lymphatic massage.
Sleep comes back. Energy returns. The fog lifts. You feel like yourself again — maybe for the first time in years.
That's what living life again looks like.

Words from real clients, quoted as written.
“Great experience. SoftWave treatments have really helped my upper back.”
H.H. Pest Ridenhour — SoftWave Therapy
“Sybilla always makes sure the therapy is applied to its fullest benefit. You can tell she cares about getting the best results for her clients.”
Randy Phillips — Ongoing Wellness Care
Standard hormone panel said “normal.” A DUTCH test found progesterone nearly undetectable. Six weeks later, she felt like herself again.

Sybilla Howell
Certified Nurse-Midwife
25 years in women's health. A career spent inside the traditional medical model — watching patients get handed prescriptions without anyone asking why. Willow Sage is the practice she dreamed of: a place where people are heard, root causes are found, and healing happens naturally.
Raquel Phillips
Registered Nurse
Retired firefighter-paramedic turned RN. A career spent responding to emergencies — now focused on preventing them. Raquel brings a proactive, hands-on approach to wellness, with a passion for hydration therapy and helping clients take charge of their health before crisis hits.
Book today, and one of us calls you back to find a time that fits.
Bring your recent labs if you have them, and a list of what has been bothering you. Nothing else to prepare. Your $150 consultation is just a conversation, with no package to sign.
We will tell you when you belong somewhere else.
If your symptoms need an emergency room, a specialist, or your primary care doctor, we say so on the first visit and help you get there.
If a service is not a fit for your goals, we will not sell it to you. The $150 consultation is the only thing you commit to.
Our plans work alongside your doctor, not against them. Bring your labs and your questions.
Not sure yet? Good. Start with the worries.
Most people show up with a few worries. Here are the honest answers, and a real person at the other end of the phone if you want more.

Prefer a person? Call (828) 229-2027 or see what the first visit looks like.
What happens at the first consultation?
You sit down with one of our clinicians and tell the whole story: symptoms, sleep, stress, diet, history. We decide together which testing makes sense, then build a plan around what we find. The first consultation is $150 with no long-term commitment.
My doctor said my labs were normal. Can you still help?
That is exactly who we see. Standard ranges can miss patterns that functional testing, like DUTCH hormone panels and HTMA mineral analysis, is designed to look at more closely.
Are you replacing my doctor?
No. We are pro-root-cause, not anti-medicine. We are open about our scope of practice and will tell you when something belongs with another provider.
What does it cost to get started?
The first consultation is $150. That is the whole price of walking in the door: a full conversation with a nurse, a review of any labs you bring, and a plain-language plan. Any testing or treatment is discussed and priced with you before you decide, so there are no surprises. Questions about payment? Call (828) 229-2027 and we will answer plainly.
Do I have to sign up for a package?
No. Start with a consultation and decide what, if anything, comes next. Our services are priced to be accessible, not reserved for big-city budgets.
Where are you, and how do I book?
We are at 119 NC Highway 16 N, Suite C in Taylorsville, serving Alexander, Catawba, Iredell, and Lincoln counties. Call (828) 229-2027 or use the booking form and we will find a time that works for you.
I'm nervous about starting. Is that okay?
Completely. Many people arrive unsure and a little worn down from not being heard. There is no shame here and no pressure. You can ask every question you have before deciding on anything.
I'm not sure which service I need. Where do I start?
Start with the consultation. You do not need to arrive knowing whether you need testing, IV therapy, or something else. If you would like a head start, the short symptom check on this page helps you put words to what you are feeling before we talk.
Can I call with questions before booking?
Yes. Call (828) 229-2027 or email [email protected] and a member of our team will answer plainly, including what we can and cannot help with. No pressure to book.
Do you see men too?
Yes. Our focus is women's health and hormone balance, but we welcome men looking for root-cause answers on energy, metabolism, and recovery.
Got a question that isn't on the list?
Maybe you have a lab result you don't understand. Maybe you're wondering whether a DUTCH test is right for you. Maybe you just want to know if we're a fit before you commit to anything.
Send a few lines. Sybilla or Raquel will answer personally within one business day. No pressure, no sales pitch.
1. You send a few lines
