Meet Ummie
My name is Cherriese Bufis Scott, and I am the founder of Simply Ummie, a holistic healing practice rooted in love, lived experience, and the belief that every person carries the power to restore themselves from the inside out.
My journey into wellness began at 24, when I suddenly became bedridden with illness. For a moment, I believed I might not survive. With two small children depending on me, I made a commitment: to learn how to love my body back to life. Through herbs, somatic healing, essential oils, and deep study of the mind–body connection, I healed myself completely. That transformation became the foundation of my purpose. Today, as a mother of five miracles, I honor that journey by helping others reclaim their own healing.
I am a certified wellness specialist, trained in herbal healing, somatic practices, and trauma-informed coaching. I am also certified in dōTERRA’s Raindrop Massage Technique, a unique method that blends essential oils with gentle, feathering touch to release tension and support emotional and nervous system balance. My practice is guided by the understanding that our bodies hold stories and with the right tools, we can release what no longer serves us.
In addition to individual healing work, I am trained in The World Café Method, allowing me to facilitate meaningful dialogue and collective wisdom-building in group spaces. I also completed Emotional Emancipation Circles (EEC) a culturally grounded healing framework developed by the Community Healing Network and the Association of Black Psychologists—where I support Black people in releasing racial stress and reconnecting with their innate worth and identity.
With a foundation in psychology, holistic traditions, and my own lived experience, I created Simply Ummie as a sanctuary for healing, grounding, and self-reconnection. My mission is to help people find balance, deepen self-love, and rediscover their power, one breath, one moment, and one healing practice at a time.
Welcome to Simply Ummie.
I’m so glad you’re here.
