Apothecary ~ Naturopathy ~ Yoga Medicine

Channelling the ancient & modern arts of wellbeing into life-enhancing offerings.

2026 is the new 2016 💫

I’m here for this trend 😍

2016 feels like a lifetime ago & also like yesterday. Final months of my 20s, early 30s energy, Bones in Europe, me immersed in naturopathy, yoga, movement & becoming. A year of freedom, growth & big inner shifts. It’s wild to look back & realise how much of that version of me still lives on ~ just softer, wiser & with a whole lot more love.

Such special places & people in this smallcollection of snaps.

This month, I've been focusing on herbal support for calm evenings, gentle digestion & nervous system ease & this loose-leaf trio is the most beautiful after-dinner companion.

🌿 Spearmint (Mentha spicata) ~ soothing for digesrion & gently refreshing. A carminative & antispasmodic herb that supports digestive function, reduces post-meal bloating & gently relaxes smooth muscle of the GI tract.

🌼 Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) ~ calming for the nervous system & a busy mind. A nervine & mild anxiolytic, traditionally used to calm nervous system hyperarousal, reduce mental restlessness & support parasympathetic activation.

🌱 Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis) ~ grounding & supportive for deep rest + relaxation. A sedative nervine that supports GABA activity, helping reduce nervous tension & promote deeper, more restorative rest.

Together, they create a calming after-dinner blend to support digestion, down-regulate the nervous system & gently prepare the body for rest ~ ideal for winding down after long, light-filled summer days.

The beautiful thing about natropathically blended herbal tea, is that they are non-invasive & gentle on your system ~ so they work with you, rather than override you. Giving yourself the space to breathe again ♡

I’ve only blended a small batch this month & have a handful left to sell. If you’d like to sip slowly & support your system gently & mindfully, send me a DM & I’ll set a bag aside for you.

*Available for pick-up or postage within NZ.

Some days it’s just a few mindful movements or a moment of stillness, but it all counts. This is your reminder that your practice can meet you exactly where you are, in whatever season you’re in ♡

December 2025 ~ wrapped in softness 💗🫶

06/01/2026

My intention for 2026 has been inspired by a book brought me, 'The Art of Joy' by . Something I already know is that finding joy doesn’t always look like big moments or picture-perfect days. Sometimes, most of the time, it’s quiet. Subtle. Almost easy to miss.

It’s the first sip of a warm drink ~
Bare feet on the earth ~
Sunlight dancing on the wall ~
Clean sheets ~
A deep breath that lands a little softer than the last ~

Joy is not these rushed milestones that social pressures lead us to think it is, but in the quiet in-between. These small moments don’t ask for more effort - just presence.

And when we begin to notice them, they slowly weave a sense of steadiness, gratitude & calm through our days.

Joy doesn’t have to be chased.
Often, it’s already here - waiting to be felt in the simplest of places.

Cheers to a year of small joys for us all X

Eight years of marriage & my heart still finds its home with you. Through every season, we’ve grown, loved deeper & created the most beautiful life together. Loving you, building with you & parenting alongside you is my greatest joy. Happy 8 years, my love ❤️‍🔥

There are so many moments in the last 365 days that I've missed her ~ in the magnificent & the mundane, in the celebrations & the chaos, in the moments I want to share something funny or something I'm proud of. I've missed her amongst it all.

I've come to learn I'm never just grieving the moment Terri died, but every moments I wish she was here for. One year on & the milestones hit hard. But if I'm honest, the ache lives in everyday. When I share a hard or heavy moment people ask me if I'm ok. And I appreciate that deeply, but what I invite you to do is ask me about her. Let me talk about her. Remembering who she was is one of my favorite things - even when it hurts, because the ache is just another shape of love.

I think there is so much to learn about life from loss & we do that by being vulnerable & brave. Lately, I've been reminding myself that love came first.

In the magnificent & the mundane, in the celebrations & the chaos, love came first.

"You do not move on after loss, but you move with.
You must shake hands with grief,
Welcome her in, for she lives with you now.
Pull the chair at the table & offer her comfort.
She is not the monster you first thought her to be.
She is love.
And she will with you now, stay with you now, peacefully.
If you let her.
And on the days when your anger is high,
Remember why she came,
Remember who she represents.
Remember.
Grief came to you my friend, because love came first.
Love came first."

🤍🕊

Christmas 2025 ~ these are the moments that become the ones we look back on forever. Wishing you a gentle, beautiful Christmas ✨️🎄❤️

As the year begins to soften & draw to a close, I’ll be placing my final orders for supplements & custom herbal blends for the year. If you’re needing a refill, ongoing support, or would love to feel resourced through the festive period & into summer, please reach out soon so I can include you in this final round.

This year has been a tender & meaningful one for me. It’s been a season of recalibration, listening closely to my own body & nervous system, and slowly finding my way back into work in a way that feels sustainable & aligned. Returning softly - with fewer hours, more intention & deeper presence - has been such a gift, & one I don’t take lightly.

I want to extend my deepest thanks to every client & student who has supported me during this time. Your patience, trust & willingness to meet me where I am has meant more than I can express. Whether you’ve worked with me one-on-one, practised on the mat, ordered herbs, or simply stayed connected - thank you.

As I look ahead to next year, I feel quietly excited. With the opening of my own boutique studio, there is space opening for deeper work together, continued care for the nervous system & offerings that feel grounded, nourishing & sustainable for all of us. I’m really looking forward to what’s to come.

Thank you for being part of this community & for walking alongside me this year.

With so much gratitude,
Nik 🌸

November has been a beautiful blur of grounding & energy ~ salty beach swims, long nourishing yoga practices, steady progress on the studio build & soul-filling moments with friends ✨

Each photo in this carousel holds a little piece of what this month has been teaching me: to keep showing up for myself, to anchor into the things that bring joy & to stay connected to the people & practices that make life feel rich + balanced.

Here’s to carrying the energy of November forward ~ more presence, more purpose, more moments that feel like a deep exhale & more strawberries, please 🍓😍
