About Cerina (Cindy) Hebbard

Meet Cerina

Hi, my name is Cerina! I am a Master Herbalist, Nutritional Coach, and Mental Health/Emotional Wellness Specialist.

My passion for guiding parents to help their teens and young people, especially those struggling emotionally, has grown out of my own health journey.

I’m now blessed to help parents whose teens and young people are struggling with severe anxiety, ADHD, autism (any level), ODD, bipolar, and other challenges - so that, very soon, they begin to feel better, processing emotions more easily, and they can self-regulate - becoming more self-confident, independent, joyful and empowered young people with bright futures.

My Journey to Holistic Healing

My expertise, like so many other wellness practitioners, developed from my own health struggles in my teens when medical doctors couldn’t diagnose or treat my chronic pain and other debilitating health challenges.

I made a powerful commitment to live my best life possible and set out to find answers that worked, that helped my unique body and mind.

I’ve always believed that we can all recover to some great degree - no matter the condition - as long as we’re committed to, seek, find, and follow an approach that feels balanced, and meets one’s needs, along with effective support structures in place.

Overcoming Autoimmune Conditions with Natural Remedies

As a teen, I embarked on a personal journey to achieve optimal health and vitality. Facing conditions like fibromyalgia, JRA, and various inflammatory skin issues—later recognized as autoimmune disorders—I sought more holistic ways to relieve my pain. Through extensive study and practice, I explored massage therapy, shiatsu, restrictive diets, nutritional therapies, and herbalism, among other healing modalities.

Raising Healthy Families: My Motivation for Learning

Raising two extraordinary daughters, each with their unique health concerns, motivated me to find real answers. I dedicated myself to unlocking the symptoms that limited our freedom to live fulfilling lives. My mission expanded as I saw more families in my community struggling with similar physical and emotional pain and wellness needs.

The Birth of My First Autism Wellness Program

As I gathered more knowledge and understanding, I’ve gotten to help my own health, my daughters’ health, and countless others, too. My journey led to the creation of an herbal and nutritional wellness consulting business, where I’ve worked with families facing a variety of conditions, from asthma, allergies, autism and ADHD to chronic pain, cancer, digestive, respiratory and endocrine concerns. And what truly cause me the greatest joy is helping young people with autism and other behavioral and/or communication struggles.

I began working with the first 35 children, in addition to my daughter, who were on or near the autism spectrum. The results were extraordinary, with each and every child experiencing significant improvements. Since 2018, our previous Autism Wellness Program has been available online, offering customized wellness plans that address each child's specific needs. We provide parents with the guidance, understanding and support they need to empower their teens, preteens and young adults to overcome their struggles, develop emotional maturity and resilience, and truly thrive.

About Wellness and Freedom Now, LLC

With our fast-acting, all-natural wellness programs, we guide stressed out, highly-committed parents whose teens, preteens, and young adults are struggling with mental health crises and/or chronic upsets; things like:

  • meltdowns, anger, aggression, self-harm, dysregulation, defiance,

  • anxiety, panic attacks, emotional upsets,

  • lack of attention, focus, learning, or safety awareness,

  • behaviors, obsessions, eloping, etc,

We design a customized ‘Holistic Wellness Toolkit’ so that teens, young people and their parents quickly gain a deeper sense of internal calm, with more ease, focus, and self-management, no matter how complex, unconventional, or potentially dangerous things are right now. 

This soon leads parents of these formerly struggling kids to witness them being more joyful, and experiencing closer personal connections, kind, effective conversational communication, greater empowerment, more self-regulation, and social ease while providing them with a lifetime of greater emotional maturity, independence, productivity and fulfillment!

Case Study

"Just two months into working with one extraordinary family, their 13-year-old son shared something remarkable with me. He expressed his gratitude for the things I had taught his parents, saying that now, he no longer wanted to hurt his family, some school kids and teachers or anyone—not even fish. He told me he dreams of getting his master’s in social work so he can help children who are struggling, just like he was only a few months ago." ~ Cerina
