I truly believe in the importance of listening to Earth's subtle teachings through plants and natural rhythms. I have been using and studying herbs for many years. My business is a reflection of the gratitude I have for healing plants. I make herbal products that can be used daily to balance, nourish and destress our bodies. My creations are always infused with healing herbs. Formulas vary with the season depending on which plants are available and which ones I am intuitively called to use. I believe that the plants that grow around us are here as a gift and we should learn from them and incorporate them in our lives everyday. I use the highest quality/organically grown plants (either grown myself or from local, sustainable suppliers) in all of my products and everything is handcrafted by me in small batches. Anything I wild harvest is done with great intention and only if there is an abundance.
One of my main goals is to inspire people to make their own medicine because I believe that we all have the ability to take good care and to heal and nurture ourselves. I also think that every time someone handcrafts something with positive intention it is a beautiful reflection of themselves and the great universe we all live in. The plants I use are generally safe for most people but listen to your body and discontinue use if any irritation may occur because everyone of us is a little different! I'm a folk herbalist, I am not a medical doctor. I have spent much of my time working with these plants and I always like to let people know how important it is to use common sense and to first do some research of your own. Especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, using on children or if you are on prescription drugs or have other underlying medical conditions. Some fun facts about me: I love the woods. I love weeds. I love farming and growing plants. I love all people, plants, flowers and trees. My favorite color is purple and my middle name is Rose, which is one of my all time favorite flowers. See below for some of my other favorite plants. Be well and feel free to drop a line, I'd love to hear from you.

Calendula..• Calendula officinalis - from the plant family Asteraceae. One of my all time favorites because of its beauty and I love all aster flowers. Calendula is known for its sticky resin and it has been used in skincare to relieve irritation. It can also be taken internally and helps benefit the lymphatic system amongst other things.

Plantain..•Plantago major - better known as broadleaf plantain is a common weed that is known to soothe the skin and can be used as a poultice on bug bites. It can also be used in pesto and it has a thinner relative known as narrowleaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata).

Chickweed..•Stellaria media - better known as common chickweed is known to soothe the skin using its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is also delicious to eat and has an earthy flavor. Chickens usually love to eat it as well, hence the name.
