Though reluctant at first, time spent on her grandparents’ farm in Oroville, CA became a powerful source of healing — grounding Brandi in the wisdom of the natural environment and planting the seeds for her future work in land-based healing and food justice. At 16, Brandi gave birth to the first of her three daughters — a life-changing experience that ignited her dedication to holistic medicine and intergenerational healing. Leadership & Community Work In 1999, Brandi relocated to Stockton, CA, where she founded both the Holistic Health Center — a community-based facility bringing “holistic health to the hood” — and The Ella Bee Project. Through these efforts, she provided alternative wellness services and education to underserved communities, including the publication of her community newsletter, “Holistic Pathways.” Following the closure of the Holistic Health Center, Brandi designed and taught the “Coping with Stress” program for Wellness Works, a special project in partnership with Stanislaus State University, which she led for eight years. Current Work & Vision Today, Brandi works on initiatives that use land-based education, foodways, and art to help Black and Indigenous communities reconnect to land, culture, and collective well-being. She also serves as the founder and principal of B Healthy B Holistic (BHBH) — a regenerative systems design firm that facilitates collaborative processes, designs living systems, and engages communities through consulting, healing arts, and land-based projects.
