Meet Brit Lowe, Owner of Camellia
Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Brit began her career journey in social services following the completion of a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services at Vancouver Island University. After several years in the field, primarily working on behalf of women impacted by relationship trauma, Brit began training as a Medical Herbalist at Pacific Rim College and graduated with academic distinction from their Diploma of Phytotherapy (i.e., Western Herbal Medicine) program in 2021. In September 2024, Brit transitioned out of her role as Executive Director of an employment service agency delivering specialized services to clients with diverse-abilities to focus full-time on her business, Camellia Herbal Consultations & Care, an herbal-medicine based consulting service in Ladysmith, BC.
As a long-standing Certified Career Development Practitioner (BCCDA) & Certified Medical Herbalist with over 500 clinical training hours, Brit is passionate about supporting clients with actualizing their vocational and health & wellness goals. As a devoted professional, Brit’s approach is thorough, trauma-informed, client-centred, strength-based, and creative. Though Brit excels in working with a range of unique or complex client issues, her special focus areas include: women’s health, skin health (eczema, acne, rosacea, psoriasis), hormonal health (PCOS, hair loss, endometriosis, PMS, blood sugar management, fibroids, fertility, thyroid), and gut health (IBS, food intolerances, GERD/ acid reflux).
When she is not crafting, meeting with clients or emersed in traditional or evidence-based research, she is connecting with Mother Earth through hiking, foraging, and camping along BC’s West Coast.

Testimonials
Brit is a phenomenal and knowledgeable herbal practitioner. I’ve never felt so heard by a health practitioner in any setting as I have felt from Brit. She cares so much about her patients and this is so evident from her extremely in-depth sessions, as well as outside research she does in order to better provide for her patients. She truly takes the time to listen to her patients and find out the best possible ways to offer her care and support.
Brit does such an excellent job of getting information out of me that I didn’t know could pertain to anything, and yet she knows exactly how to decipher these clues and come out with a concise way to offer support. Through my time with Brit, she has helped me so much through digestive issues, hormonal balancing and just general health improvements. She’s extremely well-versed in herbal medicine and I feel confident going to her for any questions and ailments that arise. Herbal medicine is such a powerful way of healing and I’ve had momentous positive changes as a result of Brit’s guidance.
I think anyone going to Brit would benefit greatly from her wisdom and essence since she is a truly wonderful human being and practitioner!
