I create sanctuaries
for healing.
I'm Cicely Everson - Clinical Herbalist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, Intuitive Healer, Educator, and architect of healing spaces where Eastern wisdom meets Western precision. What began as my own desperate search for answers has become four distinct sanctuaries, each serving a different dimension of wellness.

The Four Sanctuaries of Tao
"What began as a deep study of personal healing and spiritual exploration has evolved into four specialized sanctuaries - each designed for a different aspect of your wellness journey.”
TAO + SALOMA | Fine Botanical Medicines
Your daily ritual. Professional-grade herbal formulations that bring ancient plant wisdom into modern life. Where healing becomes tangible - adaptable medicines you can integrate into your daily rhythm.
01Iyasu | Advanced Holistic Medicine Clinic
Your transformation. When you're ready for deep clinical work - functional, herbal & energetic medicine. This is the temple where we identify root patterns and create your personalized healing protocol.
02Int’l Academy of Mind-body Medicine | Professional Study
Your mastery. For practitioners (or those who want to be) ready to deepen their herbalism knowledge. This is where I teach others the art of pattern recognition, sophisticated botanical prescribing & more.
03The Atelier | Wellness Conversations
Your inspiration. Intimate dialogues exploring the philosophy, artistry, and intelligence behind holistic medicine. This is where healing becomes a conversation worth having.
04Origin // Birth of Tao
It started with my own body refusing to cooperate.
Symptoms without answers. Stressful days - mentally, emotionally and physically. A job I had to leave in order to tend to my own wellbeing… until a holistic practitioner helped me see what conventional medicine had missed - severe gluten intolerance, adrenal exhaustion, hormonal chaos, oxidative stress stealing my vitality. Within days, bioidentical hormones relieved my sadness, and within months I was even better than before.
In that moment of clarity, I knew: this would be my life's work. To teach others how to find their highest state of wellbeing.
The skincare line I'd been building temporarily took its rightful place in service of something deeper. Healing from the inside out became the foundation. Everything else would follow.
What has since emerged wasn't one practice, one product line, one approach. It was four specialized sanctuaries - each honoring a different aspect of the healing journey I'd walked myself.
