Nice to meet you! I’m Carmine Frye, Founder of Endive Wellness.
Here’s the tea on me! For years I struggled to find real answers to my endocrine issues within the traditional medical system, often being told my symptoms were temporary and my labs were “normal,” even when I knew something deeper was going on.
My search for lasting healing eventually led me to Clinical Herbalism and Naturopathic Medicine, where, for the first time, I felt truly seen, supported, and aligned with a path that made sense for my body and spirit.
Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to the study and practice of holistic health, blending evidence-based herbal medicine with the cultural traditions and ancestral wisdom that have sustained our communities for generations. In that process, I found my purpose in supporting women of color, especially Black women in America, whose wellness needs are too often overlooked, misunderstood, or underserved.
I understand how overwhelming and confusing the world of natural healing can be, especially when you’re managing chronic stress, hormonal imbalances, or generational trauma. My role as a clinical herbalist is to help simplify the process, offer care that’s both culturally grounded and clinically informed, and create a safe space for real, sustainable healing.
This work is deeply personal to me. I believe that Black women deserve wellness that honors the fullness of who we are, our histories, our lineages, our brilliance, and our burdens. Whether you’re seeking support for mental wellness, reproductive balance, or simply a deeper connection to your body and your roots, I’m here to walk with you.
Together, we can build a healing path that feels clear, doable, and deeply nourishing.
More than an herbal practice — Endive Wellness is a safe space for Foundational Black American women to explore natural, culturally rooted healing. Specializing in creating personalized herbal plans that support vitality, balance, and long-term wellness. Melanin Medicinals is our herbal compounding dispensary, creating custom plant-based formulas for the unique wellness needs of Black women. I source quality herbs, craft personalized blends, and honor ancestral plant traditions in every product we make.
I can’t wait to work with you!
