A Personal Journey Toward Holistic Healing

Growing up with chronic health challenges, ACHS alumni Gabby Stout spent years searching for answers. It wasn’t until discovering holistic health that everything began to change. Natural approaches restored not just Gabby’s physical wellness but also a sense of vitality and connection to life itself. That experience sparked a deep appreciation for working in harmony with the earth and using the healing tools nature provides. Ultimately, it was this life experience that inspired Gabby to seek out formal education. 

Gabby Stout surrounded by sunflowersEnrolling in the Bachelor of Science in Integrative Health Sciences program at ACHS was a pivotal step in turning that passion into a profession. Being from a small town in Kansas, access to a comprehensive holistic health education once felt out of reach to Gabby. But she says that “ACHS made it possible.”

“By attending ACHS, I was able to make my dream of getting a holistic health degree come true, even while living in my small Kansas town,” Says Gabby. “My business, Soul of the Lotus, can now evolve and grow because of the education I received.”

Building Confidence, Knowledge, and a Holistic Business

Through her studies at ACHS, Gabby gained not only in-depth knowledge of herbal and holistic health practices but also the confidence to solidify a career and grow a business. The balance of accessibility and hands-on learning made the experience both practical and empowering.

In addition to crafting wellness products and working directly with clients, Gabby is excited to announce the addition of online wellness coaching, creating new ways to support others in finding natural solutions to their health concerns.

Gabby says that “owning a holistic wellness business has been both the most fulfilling and exciting career path, one rooted in lived experience, education, and a genuine desire to help others heal”.
