Fleur and Forage Free Clinic

Atlanta-based floral designer and clinical herbalist Marie Lies established The Fleur and Forage Free Clinic, a mobile wellness initiative providing herbal medicine consultations to underserved communities. The clinic operates through a network of volunteer practitioners who offer services at rotating pop-up locations throughout the metro area. Lies integrates her dual expertise in floral therapy and clinical herbalism to develop treatment protocols that draw from both traditional healing practices and contemporary botanical medicine. The Fleur and Forage Free Clinic delivers three core services: herbal medicine consultations, wellness education workshops, and holistic care assessments. Local herbalists and wellness practitioners volunteer their time to staff the mobile clinic events, which travel to different neighborhoods on a monthly rotation. The organization maintains partnerships with community centers and mutual aid networks to coordinate service delivery and identify areas of highest need. The clinic's operational model centers on removing barriers to complementary healthcare through a donation-based payment structure and mobile service format. Practitioners document treatment outcomes and maintain clinical records following professional herbalism standards. The initiative serves as a training site for student herbalists while building a replicable framework for community-based herbal healthcare delivery.
