​Dr. Deb Harrell is a passionate wellness warrior and vessel of truth to a world in desperate need of healing.  Deb has over 25 years experience teaching people how to reclaim their health – body, soul & spirit.  Her inspirational workshops, retreats & coaching have equipped people to live lives of vitality, passion & purpose.

Deb is a Naturopathic Doctor and Professional Wellness & Lifestyle Coach.  She is also a Certified Health Minister with Hallelujah Acres’ Back to the Garden Health Ministry, a Competent Communicator with Toastmasters International, a Certified LifeThrive© Trainer & Coach and a certified instructor with Learning Strategies.  She was voted by her peers as Healthcare Professional of the Year in 2009.  Dr. Deb uses a uniquely holistic approach to wellness including whole-food plant-based nutrition, stress management, lifestyle counseling, and more.  

Deb spent 15 years in accounting management for large & mid-sized corporations while raising her family.  As a professional accountant struggling to keep all of life's balls in the air (being successful managing a department at work, staying healthy & being a good wife & mom), Deb found that she was putting self-care at the bottom of her long to-do list.  As a result she ended up with a duodenal ulcer.  The pain Deb experienced with the ulcer provided the catalyst to send her on a personal growth journey that helped her discover the solutions that not only brought physical healing, but emotional & spiritual healing as well.  Deb knows personally how overwhelmed professional women can feel with all that is on their plates & how readily women place everyone else's needs above their own.  Deb discovered that making self-care a priority led to a more happy, healthy life that benefited her family and her work.  Dr. Deb brings busy people tried and true simple solutions to live a healthy life!

​Dr. Deb founded WELL FARM where she hosts women's holistic retreats.  She has spoken internationally on topics of wellness and success including Nationwide Insurance and the Florida Dental Association's annual conference, as well as numerous organizations and churches. Deb has been plant-based since 1976 and her passion is to inspire and equip people to thrive -body, soul and spirit!  She is also passionate about helping create a world where all sentient beings live free lives. Dr. Deb has helped many patients heal holistically, including late-stage cancer.  Her philosophy is that food is your best medicine.  Deb and her husband Tim live in St. Augustine, FL. Together they have 5 grown children and 11 grandchildren.  Deb’s family is her WHY for making self-care a priority!  She wants to create a healthier world for future generations!
