A snapshot of my last few weeks in Costa Rica 🇨🇷
We went back to the Osa Peninsula (my favorite place!) And explored Uvita and outside of Dominical along the way. So much gratitude for the ability to travel and build fun memories with family. Pura Vida!

Wild Medicine is an in-person, community-based learning journey to connect with the natural world and learn about how to incorporate medicinal herbs, wild plants and mushrooms into our daily lives.

Laura's approach to learning and teaching about the natural world is kin-centered and based on building relationship with the natural world over viewing them as "resources". Her hope is to create a learning environment that encourages participants to feel welcome sharing from their own personal and cultural backgrounds and feel safe being who they are, regardless of background and identity. Is 2026 finally the year you start your journey to learn foraging and herbal medicine?

Registration opens soon. Comment below for advance registration info.

Wrap up wellness this holiday season! Instead of bringing a bottle of wine to the holiday event, consider bringing a bottle of elderberry or other health promoting gift like Fire Cider, Kombucha, Ginger Shots, etc. Let's start new traditions that promote care and inclusivity.

This past weekends Christkindl Market in the was an absolutely amazing end to a great holiday market season. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported me at markets across Southern Ontario this past month. With snow blanketing the forest and -25C last night winter feels like it's really here and I'm looking forward to moving at a different pace. We'll continue to ship online orders and our local retailers like the .healthstore.muskoka and spots like will be loaded up by the end of the week for your in person shopping needs. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much!

A moment of peace for your feed. Winter has arrived in Muskoka. Though the next few weeks are still filled with the "holiday rush" this peaceful landscape reminds me the time of deep rest and reflection is just about here.

It's Wild Fire season! Fire Cider is a traditional herbal tonic created (and popularized) by Rosemary Gladstar, a well-known herbalist, in the late 1970s. It’s a spicy, tangy, immune-boosting vinegar infusion made from common kitchen ingredients and herbs.

Support the immune system. Warm the body and stimulate circulation. Help fight colds, flu, and sinus congestion. Aid digestion and metabolism. Great added to salad dressings, marinades, soups, or drinks. The perfect example of a kitchen pantry staple being used for all that ails you!

Have you ever made Fire Cider?
