I just scheduled a bunch of amazing workshops for this Spring! I can’t wait! Here’s what’s coming up:

(3) “Little Roots” workshops, targeted specifically at using herbs with babies and kids. There are 3 sessions for this, each focusing on a different health/wellness aspect. Sign up for 1 or all 3!

Build Your Home Apothecary, 6 session series. The focus of this series is herbal basics - learning how to use herbs safely, which herbs are the best fit for your family, and you’ll also create an herbal product at each session to stock your herbal medicine cabinet!

Open Apothecary. This is FREE but sign-ups are required for space purposes. A 2 hour window of time where you can drop by The Apothecary, shop pre-made products, and even create & purchase a custom blend with a little guidance!

I have a couple more in the works if I can find time to get them on the schedule: medicinal herb gardening & women’s hormone balance! Sign up for my newsletter (on my website or DM me) to keep updated on future workshops.

Comment WORKSHOP if you’d like me to DM you the link for more details on these fun upcoming events!

My social media break went a little longer than anticipated 🫣 but it was much needed! It’s easy for me to get bogged down with things that really don’t matter like Instagram 😬 and I lose focus on things that I should be focusing on!

So, for my “return” to Instagram - on a reduced basis so it doesn’t take over my life - I thought I’d share what herbs I restocked for my household today.

We were running low on tea so I mixed up a couple varieties today. One is my own personal hormone balance blend, along with a sleepy tea that DOES THE TRICK, and a vitamin & mineral rich blend. For tinctures, I restocked my mom’s custom tincture since she’s traveling soon and needed some smaller bottles, and I restocked our Super Shroom. I always keep digestive bitters, sleepy & calm, and elderberry concentrate ready to go but thankfully we didn’t need a restock of those! 🙌

And now I’m currently brewing a cup of tea ready to take a little break!

Break time! I’m taking a little break from social media for the month of December. I may pop in here and there, but won’t be posting regularly.

I’ll still be offering herbal consultations on a limited basis, and my online store will remain open for local pickup. If you need to reach me, email is the best way, although I will check in here occasionally. You can find my contact info on my website if you don’t have it!

This month I’m focusing on spending time with my family (pic from summer when we were last together!) while my oldest is home from college, and supporting my youngest as he recovers from his upcoming knee surgery. I’ll also be working on class content for my Build Your Home Apothecary series - coming early Spring! If you are interested in this class, please email or message me since it will be open to those on “the list” first!

Hope you all enjoy the holiday season with your families! 🎄

You don’t have to wait until you’re sick to boost your immune system!
Daily tonics like reishi, astragalus, and turkey tail gently strengthen long-term resilience.

Herb Spotlight: Catnip
Gentle, calming, and family-friendly, catnip supports both digestion and the nervous system.
You’ll find this one in a lot of my family friendly formulas! It’s amazing for restless kids, anxious minds, or tummy upsets after meals.

Did you know your liver plays a huge role in hormone balance?
Supporting it with herbs like dandelion root, burdock, and schisandra can make a big difference in PMS, perimenopause, and skin health.

11/17/2025

Herb Spotlight: Calendula

Calendula is sunshine in flower form! ☀️
It soothes inflammation, supports lymph flow, and promotes healthy skin and digestion.
I love it both internally (as tea or tincture) and topically in oils and salves.

11/14/2025

As the seasons shift, it’s the perfect time to check in with your body. What needs more attention…rest, nourishment, connection, or boundaries?
Herbs like tulsi, lemon balm, and ashwagandha can help transition through change, keeping both body and mind balanced.

Digestion is at the root of so much. Energy, mood, hormones, and skin all tie back to gut health.
When I work with clients, I often start here: supporting the gut lining, addressing inflammation, and encouraging regular elimination.
Herbs like calendula, chamomile, and ginger are gentle but powerful. Bitter herbs like Oregon grape, Yellow dock, and Gentian help increase bile flow to improve digestion.

Just feeling a little embarrassed that it’s been close to 2 years since I’ve updated the “about me” pinned post so going to go ahead and fix that right now! 🫣

Hi! I’m Melissa, and I help women use herbs to find balance and feel their best.

I have about 25 years of experience using herbs personally and with clients, and I hold an M.S. in Clinical Herbal Medicine. I specialize in supporting women with hormone balance, digestive health, stress management, and sleep support. Together, we’ll create an herbal plan that is simple to use in your everyday life (no more digging through a whole cupboard full of bottles!) and will help you feel supported and more in tune with your body.

Besides offering consultations, I have an Apothecary in Hayden that is open by appointment (just message me!) where I hold workshops and offer a full spectrum of herbs.

I am also mom of 3 teenage boys (can’t say that for much longer since I have one almost out of the teenage years!), a handful of chickens, a senior “puppy,” 2 crazy cats, and more plants than I can count.

I’m so glad you’re here! I have found herbs and natural healing to be such an amazing source of community, and I’d love to connect with you!

Herb Spotlight: Shatavari
Shatavari is one of my favorite herbs for women’s health. It nourishes the reproductive system, supports hormone balance, and helps the body adapt to stress, especially during perimenopause and menopause. It’s also an amazing restorative herb postpartum!
