Jes Armitage, founder of Fleur Rasa, is a Master Clinical Ayurvedic Herbalist with a passion for restoring health through holistic, root-cause care. Her studies in medicinal plants began at Cornell University and continued through advanced Ayurvedic herbalism training at the Joyful Belly College of Ayurveda, where she is currently completing a specialty in Ayurvedic diet and digestion. Born in coastal Carolina, she traded the Atlantic ocean for bayous nearly 20 years ago. New Orleans began her journey in the culinary arts where she studied under chocolatier Cheryl Scripter and famed Chef Susan Spicer.

Understanding that food is medicine and nutrition security builds healthy communities, she expanded her knowledge through an Urban Gardener certification from Southern University and actively contributes to local garden projects. In addition to her clinical herbal work, she is certified in sound healing and pranayama therapy, integrating breath, vibration, and plant medicine into a deeply supportive approach to wellness.

“I am passionate about building networks of like-minded individuals and helping bridge the gap between complementary therapies and traditionally allopathic healthcare systems. I offer spiritual coaching among other alternative healing modalities, ensuring body, mind, and spirit alignment. I believe that self-care is community care; when individuals thrive, entire communities become stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

Healthcare should be accessible and free from unnecessary barriers. To support this vision, we offer sliding-scale services for those who qualify, helping ensure that quality care remains within reach, contributing to a healthier future for all.”
