Chrystle Fielder has always had a deep interest in and passion for natural remedies. Growing up, she learned about natural cures for various ailments from her mother, such as using chamomile tea for calming effects, arnica for sprains and bruises, and chicken soup with garlic for colds and flu. This early education in natural remedies sparked a lifelong interest in the topic for Fielder.
Fielder has a degree in communications from Boston University and has worked in advertising and television production. She later moved to Los Angeles where she worked as a screenwriter and in TV production. In 1998, Fielder became a full-time journalist and author and joined the American Society of Journalists and Authors.

In 2009, Fielder began writing non-fiction books for Quarto, one of the largest illustrated book publishers in the world. She has written several books on natural remedies and green living, including "The Country Almanac of Home Remedies" and "The Home Reference to Holistic Health and Healing."
