A practice built on listening.
Willow Sage exists because one certified nurse-midwife spent 25 years inside a system that wouldn't let her do what she knew was right — sit down, listen, and find the root cause.

Sybilla Howell, MSN, CNM
Certified Nurse-Midwife
25 years of caring for women.
Hi, I'm Sybilla. I've been a certified nurse-midwife for over 25 years, with my primary focus on women's health across the lifespan.
I still work in the traditional medical model — the one that focuses on medicine for each ailment without finding the cause. It's a system that moves fast, prescribes fast, and rarely stops to ask why.
“I carried this dream for years — a place where people are heard, root causes are found, and healing happens naturally.”
Willow Sage is that dream. A space where women and men can talk about their health without shame or embarrassment. Where we take the time to really listen, find the root cause, and teach a healthier way to live — with natural herbs, vitamins, minerals, and the body's own ability to heal.
I believe high-quality, personalized wellness shouldn't be reserved for big cities or luxury price points. That's why Willow Sage is here, in Taylorsville, accessible in both price and spirit.
From the firehouse to the wellness room.
I'm Raquel — a retired firefighter-paramedic and a Registered Nurse since 2007. After years of responding to emergencies, I wanted to be on the other side: helping people take charge of their health before crisis hits.
“I spent years responding to emergencies. Now I help people prevent them — that's why I love this work.”
I love working with clients who are interested in hydration and taking a proactive approach to their wellness. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive experience where you feel cared for and confident in your journey.
North Carolina is home now, and I'm proud to be part of a practice that treats people like people — not appointments on a schedule.

What we believe.
01
Your body knows how to heal.
Our job is to give it what it needs — the right herbs, the right minerals, the right vitamins, the right lifestyle shifts — and then get out of the way.
02
Ancient wisdom meets modern testing.
DUTCH hormone testing and HTMA mineral analysis alongside naturopathic counseling and supplement education. SoftWave regenerative tissue repair alongside infrared sauna and lymphatic massage. Both worlds, one room.
03
Honesty over authority.
We don't diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medications unless under the supervision of a licensed provider. We encourage every client to maintain a relationship with their primary care provider. We are partners in your wellness — not replacements for your doctor.
A sanctuary, not a clinic.
When you walk through our doors, you're not entering a medical office. You're entering a warm, spa-like space designed to make you exhale.
Soft lighting. Natural textures. The calm that comes from being in a place built for healing — not for processing patients. Every detail is intentional, because how you feel here matters to how you heal.
Come meet us in person.
The consultation is a conversation. We listen, we ask questions, and we tell you honestly whether we can help.
