Hi, I’m Marcella, Founder of The Root Remedy. I created the brand during the pandemic after I got sick and turned to herbal medicine to cure my symptoms (my family is Jamaican-Panamanian & Native American, so natural remedies come easy to me).

And just like that, The Root Remedy was created.

I am Tifany Brown, a native Houstonion who returned home after graduating from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. Now 6 years later, I am a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a private practice, Versatile Therapeutics, LLC. I started Versatile Therapeutics as a virtual clinic offering telemedicine services for sick visits, medication refills, consultations, lab work, etc. I do not accept insurance which helps keep my prices affordable and easily accessible. I am not the type of provider who hands out medication for every symptom my patient mentions to me. I like to get down to the root of the problem and start treating you from there. In 2021, I will begin to grow my practice and offer a multitude of med-spa services as well. My goal is to make every patient feel good from the inside, then look just as good on the outside. We all know aging is inevitable, but how we age- now that, we have complete control of.
