We had a fabulous time at Juniper Station in Napa yesterday! 💫

CLEAN SWAP WORKSHOP was a hit! I had some super rich conversations about the foundations of hormonal wellness, how hormones depict numerous aspects of our health (man, woman, and child), and simple swaps that can be made when it comes to household cleaning and personal care products to protect our families' collective hormonal harmony!

The fall inspired zero proof cocktails were a flowin'! 🌿🥂💫

The beautiful produce and flowers from was abundant! 💐

The indulgent treats from looked amazing! 🍪

And Jess & Kristina of were the hostesses with the mostesses are usual! Thank you for bringing us all together! ⭐️

Thanks to the Napa community for showing up! 🙌🏽

Until next time! 💜

Is Sober October your line in the sand? Maybe its your birthday... What about a random Thursday?

When inspiration hits and you decide its time for a break from alcohol (or another self-soothing go-to that's really not serving you) the first step is to ground in your "WHY".

The most common reasons folks have shared with us are

1. Improved sleep / more energy
2. Better brain function
3. A focus on fitness or body recomposition
4. Resolving chronic health conditions
5. Preparing for pregnancy (men and women)
6. Gaining perspective / re-evaluating priorities
7. Creating a healthier relationship with alcohol or another self-soother

Do any of these resonate with you?

Are you taking a break from alcohol or another tension relieving "ally" this month?

What's motivating you?

Whatever your impetus, we're here to make the journey easier! The carefully selected botanicals in Free Spirit Elixir help to ease tension and anxiety, soothe the nervous system, and relax muscles right away while supporting liver health, brain function, hormonal balance, immune system response, and reducing the negative impacts of stress when enjoyed consistently over time.

A little help can make all the difference!

CHEERS! 🌿🥂💫

There are many uncontrollable things in this world that put undue burden on our family’s bodies, and specifically our hormonal systems no matter our s*x or age. The good news? We have the power to protect our health through the choices we make each day and it starts by making simple swaps for conventional household and personal-care products.

I first met many of you in the aisles of Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, The Nugget, or—if you’re an OG —The Nutrition Shoppe back in the early 2000s, where I first cut my wellness triage teeth. Having been in private practice for the last 16 years I’ve missed those pivotal, impromptu conversations about the surprisingly simple steps that can rebuild the foundations of health, which is why I’m partnering with some amazing women to keep spreading the good word!

Juniper Station, a heart-led refillery and mercantile in Napa, is such an important community resource! They're a one stop shop for everything from household basics, clean body and skincare products, natural medicine options, and thoughtful gifts alike.

Join me on October 5th so we can workshop one-on-one for some clarity, confidence, and guidance about the realistic swaps you can make for the health of your family. My client waitlist is growing so this is a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss!

And oh yeah, there will be FABULOUS botanical mocktails to boot! 🥂

Hope to see you there! 🌿

🍂 HAPPY AUTUMN EQUINOX! 🍂

We celebrate the harvest and the nourishment it brings us!

We honor the light that summer gifted us with (the levity, the playfulness, the healing gifts of the sun) and welcome the increasing darkness (a time of contemplation, reflection, and energetic slowing).

Carve out a moment to be in nature today, ground yourself in the innate balance of light and dark hours, reflect on the joys of summer, and set intention for the season to come 🙏🏼

☆ FABULOUS FRIDAY MÉLANGE ☆

Sometimes, by the time Friday rolls around, we just need to keep it simple.

Enter the FREE SPIRITED FIZZ 👏🏼

1-2 tsp Free Spirit Elixir
2-3 oz of your favorite sparkling mineral water, tonic, or club soda
Fresh citrus or herb garnish

Fill a rocks glass with ice, add Free Spirit Elixir (Has it been a 2 tsp week? 😅), and top with whichever bubbly bevy your heart desires. Gently stir to combine. Serve with a fresh herb sprig or citrus wedge. Take a deep, cleansing breath and sip slowly to welcome the weekend.

This easy goin' combo allows the subtle flavors of the chamomile and ginger in the FSE to come through while the light, non-glycemic, sweetness of the coconut palm glycerine adds just the right touch.

The seven carefully selected botanicals weave their synergistic web of support, nourishing your nervous system, diffusing built up tension, and helping your precious systems regain their footing. Satisfies all the wants after a hard workweek! 🙌🏽

SIMPLY FABULOUS!

Cheers! 🌿🥂💫

As the clinical herbalist behind Free Spirit Elixir I absolutely LOVE getting out into the cafés, bottle shops, boutique gift shops, health food stores, and apothecaries to connect with the public!

When it comes down to it herbalism is a part of all our ancestral roots. All our families used plants to address common symptoms at home at some point in our history. Though many have gotten pretty far from this model (looking to their doctors for the answers to the smallest of health concerns and turning to over the counter medications at the slightest sign of a symptom) I find most people have a curiosity about herbs and a desire to learn more.

Free Spirit Elixir is the perfect "gateway" into welcoming herbs into your life and getting to know their diverse benefits!

While the skullcap, kava, and chamomile deliver an immediate palpable benefit the other herbs in the formula offer benefits that build over time the more consistent you are with it. This allows you to experience the true spectrum of gifts that herbs provide!

I've also been referring to Free Spirit Elixir as somewhat of an herbal "multivitamin" lately. We consciously curated a collection of herbs that supports all your major body systems, limiting the need to buy multiple products to optimize your health! 🙌🏽

All this in a delicious format that you can use to create sophisticated, FUNCTIONAL, zero proof cocktails! Doesn't get much better than that!👏🏼

I'll be at Ocean Beach Cafe in San Francisco until 2:30 today.

Stop by for a taste and a chat! 🌿🥂💫
