Beautiful snowdrop medicine. We are sharing a limited number of flower essences to honour this Imbolc-Eclipse gateway…a beautifully supportive remedy for slowly welcoming a new beginning, clearing stagnation from the winter months, and helping you step into the light with steadiness and clarity. Snowdrop is a beautiful ally for anyone sensing that something new is ready to be born 🌀

In the quiet heart of winter, we stand at the threshold of Imbolc, the sacred midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. The land still appears dormant, yet beneath the surface something has already begun to move. Water softens the soil. Roots awaken. Life gathers itself in the unseen.

Making herbal medicine brings me so much joy!

Working with the plants in all their forms, blending a tincture, mixing a tea, filling capsules, stirring a cream or salve. Each process feels uniquely different, but all of them carry the same magic of working directly with living medicine.

It is such a gift to work so intimately with the plants. To feel when something is balanced. To know when a formula is complete.

This is the part of herbalism I love most. The beauty of making medicine, and the love and care that goes into each one.

Plants are living beings that communicate through complex chemical languages with the ecosystems around them and with the human body.

When we work with herbs, we enter into relationship. Plant medicines support the body by participating in its natural communication networks, including the nervous system, immune system, digestion, hormones, and tissues under stress. Symptoms often reflect places where these systems are asking for support, clarity, or restoration.

This is why individualized herbal work matters.

Living systems function through networks and relationships. A thoughtfully crafted herbal formula reflects this reality. Multiple plants working together provide buffering, adaptability, and resilience, supporting the body as a whole rather than isolating a single function.

People with similar concerns may require very different support. What matters is how the body is responding in this moment, where resilience is compromised, and which plants can best support restoration and balance.

When herbs are chosen with care and combined skillfully, they influence nervous system tone, emotional steadiness, energy reserves, and overall vitality. Over time, this kind of support can help the body reorganize toward greater coherence and strength.

This approach works with the intelligence of the body and the living systems it belongs to.

As we step into 2026, we find ourselves in a time of completion. Not just in the turning of the calendar year, but within the greater cosmology of Life. For many, this past year has been significant both personally and collectively, asking for deep reflection and honest change.

The Year of the Snake, has been a year of shedding, karmic completions, inner alchemy, and truths coming into view…and it continues until mid-February.

In my work supporting clients, I have witnessed many be deeply humbled by this process, brought closer to the Earth, like the snake moving with its belly along the ground.

This kind of transformation moves through the body, shaping health, relationships, and the structures that hold our lives.

The snake carries the medicine of alchemy. Across cultures, the serpent is an ancient symbol of the divine feminine. The snake showed up strongly through the ouroboros as a core expression of the medicine for 2025, the serpent eating its own tail.

This speaks to cycles completing themselves, to endings that nourish beginnings, and to the wisdom that comes from fully digesting what has been lived rather than carrying it forward unresolved.

As we cross the threshold into the year ahead, there is a clear shift in energy. We transition from completion into initiation, from a nine year into a one year. This marks a return to beginnings, new opportunities, and fresh starts, built on what has been honestly integrated. What has broken down to fertilize the soil over this past cycle is now preparing the ground for movement and expression.

This moment invites care and discernment. Tending the body, the nervous system, and our foundations now helps create stability for what is emerging.

To support the final shedding of the Snake Year and set you up for crossing the threshold into the Year of the Horse aligned in body, mind and spirit, our Team of Medical Herbalists are offering a limited number of spaces for Herbal Health Optimization Consultations.

These 30-minute one-on-one herbal consultations are designed to support your health, vitality, and resilience through personalized herbal care.

As we deepen into Winter, and the land draws its energy inward, we are asked to do the same: slowing down enough to take in what has been lived, gathered, endured, and learned, before the next cycle begins.

At this threshold, we want to pause and share a deep heartfelt thank you to all of you 💗

At the end of 2024, our family experienced the sudden passing of our beloved father. Grief has been a constant companion since then. It has reshaped us, slowed us, and asked us to meet life in a different way.

At the end of 2025, Jenna birthed new life into the world, welcoming her second daughter into our family. Grief and new life have moved side by side, asking us to hold both at once.

There has been profound death & rebirth underway, for both of us personally, as well as Ancient Origins. We have been learning how to keep showing up while honouring grief and new life. Learning how to tend the foundations and expansion of our work while tending our hearts.

Through all of this, our business and offerings have continued to grow, as we have grown through care, commitment, and deep love for all the people we serve. This year we did ALL this and MORE! With many new milestones that we are still in reflection, progression and integration with💫

We are deeply grateful to our clients, students, practitioners, and community for walking with us through this chapter. For your trust. For your patience & for your presence.

Our love for the plants, our devotion to this medicine path, and witnessing how deeply these remedies support people in their healing keeps us here.

As we look toward 2026, we feel both grounded and hopeful. Your willingness to walk with us reminds us why this work matters 🌿🤍
