The Hands Behind
the Hollow

Born from a deep love of the Ozark hills and a lifelong study of plant medicine, Mechel founded Riverbend Hollow to bring ancient healing traditions into a modern, welcoming space. After years of herbalism practice, nutritional counseling, and farming in the Ozarks, the vision became clear: a place where the body can remember how to heal itself.
