Tayler Clemm, DAWA Founder
Peace! I amTayler...
...a Sun loving wellness enthusiast doing my best to find joy.
My wellness journey began while taking an African history class in 2015. That experience opened my eyes to the greatness of my ancestors and it sparked a flame that continues to grow the more I look back.
Learning the truth helped me to fall in love with nature, especially plants. I studied under multiple herbalist, urban farmers and transformed my home into a mini edible forest.
The journey elevated when I became a mother. My 3 children were all created, birthed, and cared for in sacred and ancestral ways. Naturally, I began helping other families have joyful childbirth experiences.
My greatest loves are my family, nature, learning new things, and dancing to liberation music.

Driven by my passion, I seek to reignite the DAWA MAMA (Medicine Woman) within every woman across the nation.
Who is a DAWA MAMA?
​A DAWA MAMA is a woman who uses nature to heal herself, her family, and her nation. DAWA’s vision is that every home has a DAWA MAMA that will pass on a healing legacy for many generations to come.

Faith is believing in yourself and your connection to something greater— your ancestors, Creator, purpose.
It grounds you, offers strength, and reminds you that you have the power to move forward with resilience.
Hi! I am Courtney ...
...and I am honored to serve as Creative Advisor at DAWA.
​
My wellness journey started long before I realized it. Growing up, I watched family members suffer from illnesses tied to the environment and the foods we consume, which left a lasting impression on me. I knew if I wanted a different outcome, I had to take charge of my health, time, and energy.
Through my relationship with DAWA, I found a path and purpose that have guided me ever since. I’m passionate about helping others reconnect with the products and timeless teachings of our ancestors to create a more balanced and purposeful life.
