Understanding the elements can help you to understand what you need to balance your body

⚖️The basic principle is that you are bringing in the opposite element to balance whatever element is out of balance for you.

The combination of the elements in Ayurveda creates your unique dosha, your energetic body type.

I have seen understanding this create a tremendous amount of leverage for my clients over the past 20 years. Whether someone is dealing with chronic conditions or working to create optimal physical well-being, understanding the daily, monthly, and seasonal rhythms of the elements helps to create better balance in the body.

If you want to learn more about this elemental medicine & what it can do for you
👯‍♀️Join my community where we work on this with herbs, essential oils, and lifestyle habits
🌿Apply for apprenticeship to learn how to work with this in your own healing practice or home
📆Or if you need specific help, book a 1:1 Wellness Consultation with me.

⚛️Ayurveda & Traditional Chinese medicine offer so much wisdom that is now being proven correct by quantum biology.

One of these is where disease comes from.

Issues or excess or undernourishment tend to be where we put our focus when it comes to our health.

👀The hidden leverage points? How to make appropriate lifestyle adjustments for the time of day and the season of the year. Lack of doing so is also cited as areas where disease can emerge.

Understanding what the elements mean helps us to grasp these seasonal & circadian concepts more easily.

✅And understanding our own energetic body type—our dosha—can help us to narrow our focus even further, making preventative health more effective & easier.

In our community gathering we will be enjoying first
🥣A sound bath to balance the nervous system
🌿Then conversation about when is the optimal time to take our herbs/supplements
🔥And we will spend the bulk of our time together understanding the elements and exploring the doshas

First 30 days are free and no contracts to join. Hope to see you there!

Community gathering Thursday!
https://www.herbsoilsandsound.com/rewild-untame

There’s so much focus in the biohacking & wellness spaces about WHAT to take, and very little focus on WHEN to take it.

💲And, we are often investing a fair amount of money in a supplement stack or spending time exploring different herbs, not entirely sure of how they work.

🔥We are missing the energetics—when the body is most open to receiving the gifts of these tools—and when it is not.

🕰️Thursday in my community we are going to be talking about the optimal times of day (and times of month and year) to be taking your supplements & herbs.

We are also going to be exploring elemental balance in the body, what the elements mean, and how understanding them can help us to create even more leverage with our supplemental nutrition.

🧘🏻‍♀️And, we are going to start it all out with a relaxing sound bath to quiet our nervous system and help provide focus & community.

🚨Circadian Reset Mentorship doors close TONIGHT—reach out in the DM’s if you want more support taking a root cause approach.

I love when people get excited about approaching their health from a natural standpoint.

But largely because of the influence of social media, I believe we end up in the same mental trap that allopathic medicine so often takes—trying to treat our symptoms rather than looking for root cause.

Because this is such a pitfall (I have fallen into it myself at times), I want to share with you what I believe is a better way, as an herbalist, aromatherapist, and holistic health coach with over 20 years of experience.

🌎Taking a root cause approach means reconnecting your body back to the rhythms it’s become disconnected from in our modern world. Reorienting yourself to natural light. Eliminating confusing light signals for the body (or learning how to hack them). Grounding ourselves to the energy of the earth, leaning into seasonal changes in our nutrition & movement—all of these things will help the body to begin to function more efficiently, especially over time.

It’s been so exciting to see how this shift in emphasis has helped myself and my clients & apprentices begin to resolve long term concerns and also optimize our well-being, workouts, and potential.

And, by reconnecting our body back to these natural cycles, research is now showing we may also be helping to prevent a lot of our big modern diseases & conditions. This is the ultimate in biohacking AND the ultimate in preventative health.

👉🏻If you yearn for a root cause approach and want to get off the hamster wheel of trying a million supplements and not getting where you want, I would be honored to support you in my 7 week Circadian Reset Mentorship. Doors close TONIGHT—reach out in the DM’s for details & to chat.

‼️Circadian Reset Mentorship doors close TOMORROW NIGHT. Reach out in the DM’s if you are ready to explore joining us.

👀When people begin their natural health journey, it is usually because we have symptoms we are trying to address or because we have become disillusioned with allopathic medicine.

The problem is, without a foundational mindset shift, we will continue to operate under the same approach as allopathic medicine, where we are trying to get rid of symptoms.

🎱And in the natural health world, that usually means we are throwing whatever we come across that sounds good—usually what we are finding on social media. What herb might fix it. What supplement might help.

🌞We need to change the game completely and get to the root cause. And that comes from letting the body return to the way its processes are supposed to be queued and supported by nature—through syncing our circadian rhythm back up to natural light signaling from the sun.

📲And this also means divesting ourselves of some of the modern interference causing issues in our bodies, or learning better ways to live with it—devices, blue light, artificial lighting, non-native EMF’s, wireless, even electrical currents.

This process is actually pretty simple, but I find that because we are so out of sync with nature, a lot of questions come up.

‼️This is why I created my 7 week Circadian Reset Mentorship packed with both learning & coaching to help you walk through this process step-by-step and reclaim a true root-cause approach to your well-being.

Door close TOMORROW—reach out in the DM’s to join us.

I have gotten a bit disillusioned in recent years as I have seen the functional medicine and even herbal communities shift towards symptom management and away from taking the time to figure out how a client’s body has gotten out of balance in the first place.

In other words, I feel like we have stopped looking for root cause in many cases.

And obviously, there’s many reasons why this is.

But I think what we have been missing is how deeply disrupted clients’ circadian health, as and a result, their mitochondrial health is.

And if we want them to not have to be dependent on supplements forever, and we want to serve them at the highest level, I believe it is incumbent upon us to begin to teach people again how to get back in sync with nature & how their body is intended to run.

In my Circadian Reset Mentorship, I am taking folks through a 7 week process of transformation to help reorient the body back to circadian alignment. We will be covering all major areas—light, dark, hydration & nutrition, non-native EMFS & artificial lighting, and yes, I will be weaving some herbalism & aromatherapy into this—as support—not the whole enchilada.

Curious about joining us? Have clients you would like to refer? It would be an honor:

Our relationship with light may impact our cancer risk. If you want to learn how to reduce that, join me in my Circadian Reset Mentorship (doors close Sunday).

🎀A 2023 study showed that 734nm NIR-light of 20 minutes over six days was able to stop the growth of breast cancer cells.

📲Conversely, several studies have implicated blue light exposure from artificial lighting and devices in cancer, including skin cancer, including melanoma. Light at night as well as exposure to fluorescent light during the day both cause increased risk.

💡Artificial lighting at night is also being implicated in studies for its disruption to circadian rhythm, leading to diseases such as obesity & cancer.

Conversely, exposure to UV light (from sunlight) has been linked to lower all-cause mortality, including cancer mortality.

⚛️Circadian rhythm disruption as well as exposure to artificial types of light impact the health of our mitochondria which manage over 500 metabolic functions in the body, many of which have to do with DNA & cellular clean up.

‼️Luckily, we can take back our power with our health by realigning our bodies with the rhythm of the sun and by embracing darkness. And yes, there are ways to hack this so you can still lead life in the modern world. I am teaching all about it in my Circadian Reset Mentorship, but hurry as door close Sunday.

Comment “light” below for details or hit me up in the DM’s to see if this would be the right experience for you.

Sis, you don’t have to just “give in” to feeling inflamed, hormonally-imbalanced, and stressed beyond measure as you age.

The truth is that a lot of the reason we are experiencing what we think are signs of aging or perimenopause is partially because we are out of sync with the proper light signaling our mitochondria & endocrine system need in order to keep things running smoothing in the body.

This lack of alignment is coming from artificial lighting (especially at night), blue light & nnEMF from devices, lack of safety signaling to the CNS (which can largely be delivered by reconnecting to the cycles of Nature), sleep procrastination, lack of morning sunlight and more.

In short, our modern lifestyle, especially our habits of numbing through TV and scrolling, are creating even greater disruptions that are leaving our bodies MORE stressed, and the vicious cycle continues…

UNLESS we take ownership of this situation like grown women and realize that we are in charge and we can change course.

The truth is, this process of circadian restoration is quite simple and takes little time—but you do need to know how to hack it in order to make it work for you in your busy lifestyle where you are wearing all the hats.

I designed my 7 week Circadian Reset Mentorship exactly with YOU in mind. It truly is possible to feel your vitality start to flow again (and to have something else to talk about besides how awful everyone in your friend group is feeling).

Ready to shift? This week is the last chance to book a call as doors close this Sunday.

🎯Might I suggest to you that it is not the fault of the herb or therapy or essential oil or nutritional change that you have made, but instead the SOIL you are putting those tools into?
Without circadian alignment as the foundation of your well-being, you will only be skimming the surface of what is possible for you physically.
This is about way more than waking up early so you can "feel better" in vague terms.

As my circadian alignment has continued to take deeper root, I am finding more and more of my natural energy not just returning, but surging.

⚛️ Circadian alignment is quantum level biohacking: this is about plumbing the depths of every cell and every mitochondria in your body with the correct signaling that they have been missing and without which they have been confused, unable to function properly, and doing everything out of order.

The 7 Week Circadian Reset Mentorship starts in just over a week.

In this exclusive & intensive small group mentorship, I will be teaching you the step-by-step process to lay the foundation of better circadian health. You are going to come away from this process with the right soil in which to put all of your other holistic tools--that is--if you still need them. Learn more & book a call:

Mentorship starts October 21st. Nothing will shift your health the way that realigning your circadian rhythm will .

🌞The circadian rhythm is set up by the rising morning light into your naked eyes (outside). 👀

🕰️But there are also secondary timers to the circadian that can help to reinforce this.

This includes when you eat (and what), when you socialize (or don’t), when you are work, and temperature.

There’s a lot of modern conditioning to unravel when you start to work on this, and it leads to a lot of questions.

That’s exactly why I have created a new 7 week mentorship to teach you the step-by-step process to realign your circadian rhythm—the true foundation of your health and the way the body actually works (that probably no one told you).

New mentorship starts October 21st.

⚛️ We ebb and flow in energy, biodynamics, microbiome, hormonally, and even metabolically with the seasons and time of day.

Seasonal living + circadian alignment will profoundly impact your well-being for the better.

This is the ultimate in biohacking: combining ancient wisdom with modern quantum biology (guess what, they say basically the same thing).

🌚The dark season we are starting to sink into right now is meant for rest, replenishment, introspection, a deepening of prayer & spiritual practice, dreaming, journaling—in short, the inner work while our body also does the inner work of repair.

When we plug in circadian alignment to this—waking & sleeping times, aligning with natural light and dark, nutritional shifts, this is when the magic really starts to happen when it comes to creating more leverage in your well-being, future-proofing your health, and overcoming current physical challenges.

‼️My 7 week Circadian Reset Mentorship starts October 21st. If you are looking for support with this process, you want to biohack your well-being in a quantum AND grounded, ancient way, and if you need specifics about what this process looks like, I am giving you all the steps AND I will be mentoring you through those steps together in our group.

Grab your today or book a call 👇🏻as spots are filling already and space is capped at 10.

Circadian Reset Mentorship starts October 21st.

I do not believe we have to just give in to diseases of aging and the modern world.

If you struggle with metabolic syndrome, blood sugar issues, low metabolism, and/or inflammation, PCOS, or weight loss resistance, you may want to reconsider your relationship with light, particularly sunlight. 🌞

Returning to Nature and aligning our bodies back to the rhythms they have been adapted to for all of human history will go a long way to restoring the body’s own natural healing ability.

This process is simple but can profoundly shift the body’s natural functioning—it involves learning how to embrace both the light and the darkness, even in the modern world, by leveraging time & tools to our advantage.

📣Because I have found this so powerful for my own health and that of my clients, I am offering a new 7 Week Circadian Reset Mentorship to take you through the process of realignment step-by-step, with support, so you can ask all your questions and get solid answers.

Whether you are struggling with chronic conditions, want to prevent diseases of aging, or are looking to biohack your well-being into a whole new level, this process is for you.

Book a Call or save your spot here TODAY as space is intentionally limited for this container.

Our Story

Prairie Soap House started in 2006 as I began my journey toward more natural means of existence. Having become tired of all of the synthetic components of cosmetic, body care, cleaning, and household products, I began researching more natural, intuitive, and ancient ways of body and skin care. I began making soaps and lotions, using mostly organic, often wild-crafted ingredients. Over the course of many years, I have continued to hone my skills and educate myself more deeply about natural living, incorporating this knowledge into the products I create for my family and yours. Recently I have expanded the business through the acquisition of an alembic still that I use to distill hydrosols and essential oils from plant material gathered from my farm. My products never contain synthetic ingredients, chemicals, preservatives, or unnatural colorants. They always include a bit of alchemy--taking the best of the land and my own intentions--and hopefully crafting a product whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts and which will enhance your life and your health. Thus, I have now added "Apothecary" to the business name as I continue to explore and incorporate elements of herbalism and aromatherapy as well as aspects of wildness and the land into all I am producing, including educational videos and materials. The apothecary continues to expand its reach, as I now have nutritional solutions for weight loss, energy, healthy aging, and athletic performance available along with a wide range of supplementation options. In addition, I now offer various types of in-person and online training. Learn more at www.intuitiveseason.com and www.prairiearomatherapy.com
