Did you know that every time you have a fearful thought, your self-healing mechanism turns off?

Stressful emotions like fear and even helplessness trigger our fight, flight, freeze, fawn response which suppresses our immune system. �

So how do we just shut it off when fear, anxiety or helplessness sets in?�

There’s no magic pill (that doesn't have side effects).. although Motherwort is fairly close ~ but there are plenty of techniques to use in the moment along with several herbs and strategies we can use to build the muscle of presence and stillness, tone our nervous system, or increase our capacity for stress.

Maybe I should I post on some of these..

There is a resistance building in me of late. A quiet rage that has been simmering beneath the surface, eased only by community; by in-person gathering, by sharing tea and stories, heartaches and laughter, debates and dreams and good food.

It's through this perimenopause-fuelled clarity (or madness, ha!), that an antidote to AI has bloomed into being.

A year-long herbal mentorship, a course, a community gathering.

MEDICINE OF THE MOTHER TREE is a year long journey of herbal wisdom and community building.

This course/mentorship includes:
☽ Monthly 2h in-person gatherings in Kimberley, On
☽ Herb walks & foraging on site
☽ All herbs required for learning
☽ All supplies for product making in class
☽ Take home materials for further reading, learning and making
☽ Online chat for sharing & questions

There's so much I can say about this, about how gathering monthly was something I did when first studying herbalism. About how a local herbalist took me under her wing and welcomed me into her community. About the smell of those cupboards filled with herbs and shelves spilling over with dark and mysterious tinctures.

I see the look of the faces of those who explore the cuppoards in my own apothecary, the deep sigh as they lean into baskets filled with fresh or drying herbs, the twinkle in their eyes as they watch me pour tinctures into bottles. It's such an honour to pass this along.

Applications are open. Course begins in September.

There is more to consider than your diagnosis,⁠
Or your history of symptoms,⁠
Your family medical history,⁠
Your sleep, ⁠
Your nutrition⁠
Your stress level.. ⁠
⁠
There are so many layers. ⁠
⁠
Which means, a herb or homeopathic remedy that worked really well for your friend or even your family member with the SAME symptoms might not work for you. ⁠
⁠
In fact, the wrong herb may even make things worse. ⁠
⁠
I know it's convenient to to copy + paste a protocol or ask AI what to do, ⁠
Booking a consult or doing a deep dive on your own is a commitment of both time and money... ⁠
⁠
But so is trying multiple different herbs, remedies and supplements over years in an attempt to find the right ones. ⁠
⁠
Let yourself be seen. Let a practitioner look into your eyes, notice the way you hold yourself, take in the patterns of your body and your story. And find the right supports for YOU. ⁠
⁠
Becuase you're not like anyone else. ⁠

Remedies I wish all over-drawn mother’s knew about. ⁠
⁠
Tincture:
I found her growing at my back door, just when I had begun studying her medicinal ways. I knew her instantly and couldn’t wait to gather some of her up and tincture her fresh.
Soon I found myself my shoulders relaxing. Her bitter taste sent a shutter from head to toes and my heart began to soften, my nerves finding their way to grounding. ⁠
Less irritable, less overwhelmed. 

⁠
⁠
Homeopathic Remedy:⁠
Slowly losing herself, this mother begins to shut down. She begins to lose steam; the sparkle of life fades a bit and while she loves her family so deeply, she’s also grown a little distant. ⁠
She’s over touched, over-drawn, over spent. She’s annoyed. ⁠
This remedy leads her back.. back to herself, back to the patience and love she has within, back to the capacity she thought she lost.⁠
⁠
Any guesses?⁠
Comment ‘mother’ to get the full scoop.

Happy birthday to the little me!! The one who was stubborn and curious, the one who loved frills and mud, the one who played endlessly in the woods and listened to stories read every night.

I think she’s pretty thrilled with how things turned out :)
