About Joyful Roots
Herbalism – Wellness – Self Care – Empowerment
Hello! I’m Kimberly
Herbalist + Owner
Kimberly Kling is a clinical herbalist and the guiding force behind Joyful Roots in Southern Arizona, where she helps her community (locally and beyond) cultivate inner wellness through earth-centered herbal care and education. Kimberly also occasionally offers small batch, 100% natural herbal products that nourish our bodies, respect the Earth, and empower us into greater well-being.
Rooted in a deep reverence for the healing power of plants, Kimberly’s journey began in childhood, crafting ‘magical plant stews’ and forging connections with Michigan’s native flora. Her background in Landscape Architecture and engineering provided a foundation for understanding the intricate relationships between plants, people, and the land. However, it was motherhood and a personal health crisis that led her to clinical herbalism—deepening her passion for holistic wellness. Now, Kimberly integrates traditional wisdom with modern herbal practices, empowering others to reconnect with plant wisdom for vibrant health and well-being.
