Hello Dear Friends!
I pray that you are all happy, healthy, and well! It has been a very interesting past 2 years and life continues to reveal new layers to move through. As we move into the cooler, more introverted months, and into a time where we must take even more care of our bodies. It is important not only to strengthen the immune system with vitamin C, D, Quercitin, and Zinc (to name a few..) , it is also so important to be supporting the nervous system as well. When our bodies are stressed, it makes it more difficut for our bodies to fight off infection, heal injuries, or other imbalances in the body.
There are many tools one could use to address potential stresses that arise in daily life. It is up to us to tune in and explore what tools work best for us. One of my very favorite ways to de stress and heal from a meriad of things, is to prepare myself an intentional herbal soak. The easiest, most gentle, and powerful way I have learned to relieve layers of stress or imbalance is to soak my feet! Recieving medicine from the central energy centers of the body is a potent and soothing modality to recieve medicine.
This is why I have created a 2 Part Online Class on Healing Herbal Foot Soaks for Stress Relief!

Daily life has its own natural stresses and the last 2 years has added extra layers of potential stress.  As we move through the cooler months ahead, it is important to be prepared and to have tools in your personal tool belt ready to respond as needed.  Healing with water and herbs has been aroun...

Super excited to teach the first herbal yoga class in a special yoga series I’ve created based around mind, body, spirit and Earth...

What a beautiful way to start a day of learning herbal medicine! Today I had the honor of teaching a yoga class next to the big spring fed pool at Eden hot springs. The birds were chirping , a cool gentle breeze was dancing and the sun was shining it’s warm , loving glow onto our bodies. After practice we enjoyed a tea of hawthorn leaves and berries , tulsi , motherwort , rose and linden to move throughout our day with a harmonious heart as we tune into the plant kingdom. Now for a day of sharing the wisdom of plants. ❤️🌱🌵🌻

I am SO EXCITED about all these native heirloom seeds that arrived today! I might.... have gone overboard for the garden this year , but.... Naw!!!! 😁I have already began to prep 3 separate garden beds and a greenhouse! Not to mention the flower gardens and plots I have picked out for carpets of wildflowers ! 😁😁😁😁 My tail is wagging! 🐕🐶❤️ Did I mention that as the garden grows throughout the seasons,the plants will go to seed! Which means....... MORE SEEDS!!!! What a beautiful cycle of life, abundance and blessings !

Words cannot describe the excitement and joy I feel to witness the growth of these plant babies! I started them from seeds I collected and enjoyed eating. I have nurtured and cared for these little ones from seed and absolutely love the process of patiently watching them grow. Looking forward to planting the pomegranates in my garden in time and building a greenhouse for the rest of the plant babes I am caring for! ❤️❤️❤️ Next time you are eating your favorite fruits or veggies or while on a walk in nature , consider saving the seeds and starting your own little garden ! You can do this no matter where you live. You can research what your little seeds need to flourish and create the proper environment for them to thrive! :) Enjoy the process and don’t give up! Practice makes perfect in growing not only plants but in life! ❤️🌱🌻Shine on and enjoy the journey !

Very excited to see this baby taro root doing so well! It’s growing fast and strong! The other two I planted aren’t growing as fast but taking their time. Slow and steady they are :) !

I am very much enjoying the process of planting , propagating and witnessing the growth of all the plant babies I am caring for. This care taking journey takes consistency, lots of love and patience. What a rewarding experience it is and one of my favorite meditations. ❤️ If you feel inspired to grow plants in your own home or in your yard I encourage you to take the leap and give it a try! You can grow just about anything no matter where you live, as long as you know what type of environment your little plant babies need. I promise you won’t be disappointed, no matter what the outcome. It’s the journey and the wisdom within it , that is a golden nugget to carry with you within as you continue on your precious path!

Happy planting lovely lights! ❤️🌱🌈🙏🏼
