Our Herbal Awakening Soap begins with an in‑house olive oil infusion of calendula, yarrow, comfrey, and plantain leaf, all grown with organic practices and harvested by hand. This infusion becomes the heart of the bar, lending a soft, grounding, herb kissed character.
The scent rises in layers: lavender’s gentle calm, peppermint’s cool lift, rosemary’s clarity, eucalyptus’ bright, airy freshness. Together they create an aroma that feels like stepping into a green morning — crisp, awakening, and full deep breath.
Alfalfa powder swirls through the bar in mineral rich green ribbons, echoing the color of living plants. The lather is smooth and creamy, and the top is crowned with dried calendula, yarrow, and lavender — a small altar of the herbs that shaped it.
Crafted by hand using the traditional cold process method and cured for four weeks.

Traditional plant allies for itch relief and irritated skin.
This salve is crafted from three powerful wild and garden-grown herbs — jewelweed, plantain, and chickweed — harvested with intention and infused slowly in olive oil to extract their full therapeutic qualities. Blended with pure beeswax, it creates a protective, cooling balm designed to support irritated, itchy, or inflamed skin.
Jewelweed is traditionally known as nature’s antidote to poison ivy and other plant-related irritations, offering relief through its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties. Plantain adds its well-loved ability to calm itching, draw out irritation, and support skin repair. Chickweed contributes gentle cooling and moisture, making it especially helpful for hot, itchy, or reactive skin conditions.
Together, these three herbs create a salve that is both effective and comforting — ideal for bug bites, minor rashes, poison ivy exposure, and any skin that needs quick, natural relief.
Ingredients: Olive oil infused with jewelweed, plantain & chickweed, Beeswax
Made in small batches with wildcrafted and homegrown plants, crafted with intention, and rooted in the belief that the earth provides exactly what we need — especially when life gets a little itchy.
A refillable, plastic‑free dishwashing system that actually cuts through grease.
This zero‑waste dish scrub set is designed to make everyday cleaning feel simple, effective, and aligned with your values. Each set includes a 6 oz hot‑process dish soap puck nestled in a reusable ceramic ramekin, paired with a sturdy bamboo scrub brush — a combination that replaces plastic bottles and harsh detergents with something gentler, cleaner, and far more sustainable.
Our dish soap is made from coconut oil, distilled water, lye, castor oil, and an essential oil blend of lavender, sweet orange, and lemon. Coconut‑oil‑based soap is naturally excellent at cutting through grease, making this solid dish bar unexpectedly powerful for scrubbing pots, pans, and everyday dishes. Castor oil adds a creamy lather, while the citrus‑lavender blend leaves your kitchen smelling fresh and bright.
This system is fully refillable: our dish soap refill pucks are molded to fit perfectly into the ceramic ramekins, so you can keep using the same dish set again and again. No plastic bottles, no waste — just a long‑lasting, effective, earth‑friendly way to wash dishes.
Ingredients: Coconut oil Distilled water Lye Castor oil Essential oil blend (lavender, sweet orange, lemon)
Made in small batches with intention, crafted for homes that want effective cleaning without the plastic — and rooted in the belief that sustainability should feel simple, beautiful, and practical.

🌿 Mission Statement
Rooted in land, shaped by resilience, devoted to family and community.
My mission is to help people reconnect with the earth, their bodies, and their own inner steadiness through hands-on herbal medicine, organic gardening education, and land stewardship consulting.
I grow and wildcraft plants with intention, craft small-batch remedies that honor traditional plant wisdom and teach workshops that empower families and communities to cultivate healing in their own homes.
I learned early that resilience is something you grow — season by season, choice by choice. My work carries that lineage forward, blending practical plant knowledge with grounded spirituality, folklore, and the rhythms of the natural world.
Everything I create is meant to be accessible, nourishing, and deeply human. My mission is to cultivate community, empower families, and remind people that tending plants is a way of tending ourselves — and that healing is both personal and generational.
🌿 Vision Statement
A world where healing is slow, honest, and rooted in the earth — and where families grow resilience together.
I envision a community where people feel connected to the land beneath their feet, confident in their ability to grow and forage their own food and medicine, supported by offerings that honor both tradition and lived experience.
I see homes filled with simple, effective herbal remedies; gardens tended with intention; children learning plant wisdom through stories; and families discovering that nature is not separate from them.
My vision is to expand herbal education, deepen community connection, and create spaces — both in-person and online — where people can learn, heal, and remember their own strength.
I am building a future where earth-based healing is normal, where creativity and stewardship walk hand in hand, and where every person feels empowered to cultivate beauty, resilience, and belonging — no matter where they started.
