Making a steam blend for my hubby. Whenever he gets sick, it goes right into his lungs and gets stuck. Teas and tinctures are great but sometimes you need to go direct. Steams are like a topical application of the volatile herbal properties. This one has a combination of herbs in boiling water and a drop or two of a couple essential oils. This amount of herb will make 3 to 4 steams. I’ve included measurements here, but usually I just make piles in a proportion that looks right based on which herbs should be dominant in the blend and which should be supporting.
¼ cup each of marshmallow tops, rosemary, mullein and chamomile
⅛ cup each of yarrow tops, peppermint, thyme.
Blend well and use about 3/4 cup in 2 quarts of boiling water.
Essential oils: add these directly to the steam 1 drop each eucalyptus & tea tree; up to 5 drops lavender or lavender as an herb to your blend. If you’re using essential oils, you want to make sure to keep your eyes closed while steaming!

How much do you know about estrogen? Decreased estrogen levels are the primary trigger for menopause and there are lots of ways herbs can help us make that transition smoother. So many women don’t really understand what’s happening during this change of life. This is the type of information I love to share in my workshops so that you can be empowered to make decisions about your own body.

I’ve got a workshop coming up Sunday the 29th at in Eliot. Check my bio for details!

It’s FINALLY Spring Equinox and the beginning of longer days! This time of year is when we can reach for supportive herbs to help us clear out the last of the winter “gunk” and prepare our bodies for summer.

Nettles, dandelion, cleavers and more are wild plants that are so helpful for liver clearing and moving lymph stagnation. I love to wild harvest - but you don’t have to be a botanist to bring these plants into your kitchen.

If you want to learn more, join me and Molly Branch for a workshop in Sunday March 22 at

Step out of the rush of daily life and into an afternoon designed to nourish your nervous system, soften the body, and create space for deep restoration. This half-day retreat weaves together guided breathwork, movement, herbal spa rituals, and meditation to support both physical relaxation and inner clarity.
Throughout the afternoon, participants are invited to move gently between group experiences and quiet, self-paced time in the herbal spa. For those who wish, private bodywork sessions are available as a limited add-on, offering an additional layer of individualized care.

Step out of the pace of daily life and into an afternoon designed to support both body and spirit. This half-day retreat offers a carefully held container for slowing down, softening the nervous system, and reconnecting with yourself through breath, movement, shared presence and well-deserved pampering.
Through guided relaxation, time in the herbal spa, Reiki healing, gentle yoga, and spacious moments of integration, participants are invited to let go of the outer world and be cared for within a circle of support. Rather than doing more, this retreat emphasizes rest, receiving, and allowing the body to reset at its own pace.
Guided by practitioners from , the afternoon is exactly what you need to renew and reset, away from the world and all the pressures it can put on us. Go to fourbodiescommunitywellness.com for details!

Much fun was had creating these holiday cards. Sometimes it’s just better to channel potential “must-do” stress into creating something. Thanks to .nelson.art for the inspiration. When I decided to make these, I realized I already had a bunch of pre-painted paper sitting around from various nature kids craft projects over the years. All I had to do was add some sparkle. I hope you are enjoying beautiful creations this season!
