Creating herbal products to support postpartum bodies has been a deeply personal journey for me. My love for herbs began in childhood, collecting chamomile with my grandmother and making tea with her. It grew when my mom put me in charge of growing our family herb garden. I have always felt comfort surrounded by plants, inside and outside my home. Even in my college apartment (where I didn’t have a yard or garden), fresh and drying herbs hung in the doorway to my kitchen and were frequently used in teas, meals and baths.

Following multiple pregnancy losses and live births, I experienced firsthand the physical and emotional challenges of postpartum recovery. I was so vulnerable and needed gentle, nurturing care. Something Western Medicine fell short of for me. Through wise women and a deep remembering, I turned to the plants I had always trusted and learned so much more about them, blending and using nourishing herbs to support my physical and emotional health and well-being. And through that, I discovered I was also nurturing my spiritual health. I leaned more into their medicine to nurture my body, mind and spirit , the benefits of which have been passed on to my family. 

Seeing how these remedies helped me, I felt called to share them with other mothers. Every product I create is rooted in tradition, personal experience, and a passion for holistic- empowered wellness. My offering is to share gentle, effective support nurturing postpartum bodies & families.
