I’m excited to share about Vitalist Foundations of Health & Wholeness, a weekly workshop series I’m teaching this month on Mondays in Bigfork at Samaa Retreat Center, with a Zoom option for those who can’t join in person!

This is one I’ve been working on for a while now and it basically lays out the foundation of my whole approach to natural healing. You can think of it as the “How to Be a Naturally Healthy Human” course that we all should have taken in our early years (that definitely would’ve made my health journey easier)!

My passion lies in bridging the natural healing ways of ancient vitalist traditions like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Naturopathy, and Western Herbalism, with modern sciences like circadian/quantum biology, bioterrain medicine, and bioenergetics. This way of looking at health provides a much greater understanding of what it means to have true vitality and how vital energy is designed to flow when in sync with the signals and cycles of nature.

Modern approaches to health often focus on managing symptoms, correcting lab values, or fighting perceived enemies in the body—yet many people still feel depleted and disconnected. Vitalist Foundations of Health & Wholeness offers a radically different perspective: one that views health as an intelligent, self-organizing process rooted in our relationship with life itself.

This 4-part educational workshop series explores the vitalist view of health, drawing from traditional healing systems, terrain medicine, and ecological principles. You’ll learn why true healing doesn’t come from silencing the body or flooding it with supplements, but from restoring the conditions that allow vitality to flow. Each class invites you to move beyond reductionism and the complexities of today’s healthcare system, and reclaim health by focusing on the fundamental elements of lasting vitality.

Whether you’re dealing with hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, symptoms of aging, frequent illness, brain fog, chronic pain, or more, this series will teach you the foundational steps to start revitalizing your body, mind, and spirit.

Small-batch, wildcrafted, & seasonal Elderberry Elixir is back in stock! 🍂

As we welcome the crisp air of fall and snow on the mountains, and bid farewell to the warm days of summer, I’m excited to pop back on here to share this update. I’ve just crafted my largest seasonal batch of elderberry elixir yet—over 6 gallons of this incredible immune-boosting tonic!

Packed with the benefits of elderberries and elder flowers, echinacea, and other supportive herbs, this elixir is perfect for keeping your family healthy as we transition into the colder months.

With the help of my friend Brooke, and the generosity of my dear friend Sylvia, we harvested many pounds of berries from the trees along the Jocko River in Arlee, hanging heavy with abundance. This was such a fun way to spend a September afternoon, and something I’ve enjoyed doing for several years now. So much gratitude to Sylvia, the land, and the medicine shared there 💗

I choose to work with fresh plants as much as possible in my medicine-making process in order to preserve as much of the intelligent, healing life force and living water from within them, and this elixir is no exception. I only make it with fresh berries, which means it’s a special seasonal medicine that comes around when we need it most!

Last year, this elixir sold out within weeks! This is not one to hesitate on—it may be gone again before you know it, not to be restocked until next year’s elderberries ripen. Head to www.medicinehive.org to stock up on this magical medicine ✨

It's community gatherings like this that really light me up + keep me going. To share about Nature's wise ways + guide others through experiencing deeper connection for themselves is why I do what I do.

It's time to come together. Registration for this weekend's women's retreat closes Friday, June 27.

Join me for some herbal workshops this week! Both will be held at Mountain Brook Community Center, 2353 Foothill Rd near Creston. Sign up at medicinehive.org!

🌿 Workshop 1: Harvesting, Tincturing & Herb Storage

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to confidently harvest, tincture, and properly dry and store medicinal herbs to preserve their potency and vitality. We’ll discuss best practices for working with fresh vs. dried herbs, choosing the right menstruum, and the energetics of plant preparation. Each participant will make their own herbal tincture to take home. If there’s a specific herb you’d like to work with, feel free to bring your own freshly harvested plant material—otherwise, all materials will be provided. Bring a notebook and pen to capture what you learn!

🌸 Workshop 2: Oils, Salves & Topical Herbal Medicine

In this second session, we’ll dive into the art of making herbal-infused oils and salves, healing infused honey, and specialty topical remedies like magnesium oil and tallow balm. You’ll gain practical knowledge for crafting potent, nourishing herbal body care at home, and you’ll create your own herb-infused tallow balm to take with you. All supplies are included, and no prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and love for plant medicine!

Through rest and ritual, fire and flow, you’ll reconnect with the healing power of Nature and leave with practical tools to live in harmony with your cyclical design—through every season of womanhood.
