Houston, Texas – Kayla Ussery, the founder of Forge and Flourish Wellness, has been named the Best Holistic Wellness Practitioner in Houston of 2025. This prestigious recognition highlights Ussery’s commitment to empowering individuals and families through a blend of ancestral nutrition, modern science, and holistic living practices. Ussery’s approach to wellness combines both deep knowledge and practical experience, making her a trusted guide in the wellness community.
Ussery’s journey began with a passion for holistic health that grew as she balanced her roles as a certified herbalist, naturopathic cellular response practitioner, and mother of four. She founded Forge and Flourish Wellness with the mission of helping families reclaim their health by embracing a holistic approach grounded in science, tradition, and real-life motherhood wisdom.
“I believe that optimal health is not achieved through quick fixes or fleeting trends, but through a commitment to nourishing the body deeply, aligning with nature’s cycles, and living with intention,” Ussery explains. This philosophy has been the foundation of her successful business and transformative programs, which include “The Sugar Shift,” a guidebook focused on restoring balance in the body, and “The Root Cause,” a wellness reset course that teaches participants to adopt ancestral nutrition and seasonal wellness practices. Additionally, her “Flourish Collective” offers specialized mineral deficiency and facial mapping support, while “The Forge” delves into a comprehensive approach to ancestral nutrition.
Ussery’s approach is also distinguished by her expertise in facial mineral analysis, a technique that enables her to detect imbalances in the body before they become evident through conventional medical testing. Through facial analysis, she teaches clients to identify early signs of nutrient depletion and addresses them through holistic remedies and lifestyle changes. “Aging is not inevitable decline,” Ussery says. “It’s often the result of mineral depletion, light deficiency, and a lack of foundational nourishment. I show people how to respond to the signals their bodies are sending.”
Her methods have earned her widespread trust within the wellness community. Ussery’s work, which bridges ancient wisdom with modern scientific insights, empowers families to live vibrant, healthy lives. Her ability to apply these teachings in her own life—homeschooling her children, growing her own food, and embracing natural remedies—has only deepened her credibility.
“The center of the home is the mother, and the first healers in every generation are mothers,” Ussery asserts. “That’s why I’m dedicated to helping women embrace their innate ability to nurture and heal their families naturally. The work we do as mothers sets the foundation for future generations.” She extends this wisdom to fathers as well, emphasizing their crucial role in maintaining the health of the family unit. “Men, too, must focus on their nutrition and holistic practices to ensure vitality, fertility, and the well-being of their families,” she notes.
This holistic philosophy has proven to be effective, as demonstrated by the success of Ussery’s various courses and offerings. Her expertise in cellular health, particularly through facial analysis and mineral deficiency correction, has provided countless families with a deeper understanding of their wellness and how to address imbalances before they become chronic issues.
What truly sets Ussery apart is her ability to blend scientific precision with a deep respect for historical health practices. She integrates the latest findings in nutritional science with time-tested ancestral wisdom to provide her clients with a comprehensive, sustainable approach to wellness. This combination of knowledge and practical experience has earned her a loyal following, both in Houston and beyond.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the holistic wellness field, Kayla Ussery has been named the Best Holistic Wellness Practitioner in Houston of 2025. The award celebrates her dedication to personalized care, her expertise in cellular health and ancestral practices, and her ability to empower families to embrace a holistic approach to wellness.
