Interesting and maybe fun? 😆

In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry Counselling, this is often where healing begins—when the body finally has space to speak, and we learn to listen to what has been held beneath the surface.

Give the gift of rest, healing and ceremony.
Thank you for sharing and supporting local. 🌲

🌿 Handcrafted Bath Salts , Smudge Kits and the Gift of holistic therapy sessions with me 🌿

It is a blessing to make these nourishing bath salts for you. What a gift to receive rest, ceremony, and healing under the Christmas tree. 🌲✨

All of my bath salts are hand-harvested and hand-blended in small batches using plant medicines that I grow in my garden and gather from the land. Each blend comes with ceremonial bath instructions, a healing meditation, and a list of all ingredients used to create the blend.

After blending, every batch rests in my studio and is sound bathed with high-frequency vibrations from my gong—a powerful infusion many of you love. 💛

These are some of the most popular returning blends:
🌿 Innermost Wisdom
🌿 Old Love — My grandmothers’ prayers still surround me
🌿 Stillness — A sacred solstice blend
🌿 Generational Healing — Embracing rituals that serve my highest health and releasing those that do not
🌿 Held — Transforming anxiety into presence
🌿 Connected — A potent cancer support, anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting blend
🌿 Radiant Peace — Anti-inflammatory support for joints, aches, and pains
🌿 A Nourishing Blend for Mamas

I also create custom blends for specific needs—arthritis, inflammation, cancer support, grief, anxiety, and more. Each custom blend includes its own personalized write-up with instructions, meditation, and full ingredients.

🌿HAND HARVESTED SMUDGE KITS🌿
Alongside the bath salts, I’m offering smudge kits and individually harvested smudges—buffalo sage, sweetgrass, cedar, juniper, rose, pansy, lavender, and more.

If plant medicine is new to you, I also offer teachings on every plant I work with, sharing the knowledge and practices passed to me by Elders in my community. I love offering this guidance, whether you’re beginning a new ritual or deepening one you already have.

🌿GIFT CERTIFICATES🌿
If you’re looking to nourish someone special, I also offer gift certificates for Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and holistic therapeutic sessions. These sessions gently support the nervous system and bring healing to the whole body–mind–spirit. You can pair a session with a ceremonial bath or a smudge kit for a truly meaningful, restorative gift.

I only craft what the land and my garden offer each year, so quantities are limited. Many of you order these as Christmas gifts — thank you for supporting my little local business and these medicine-making traditions. 🤍

Feel free to message me with questions, custom requests, or orders.

✨ LOVE ON A MAMA BURSARY — Still Here, Still Helping (established 2016) ✨

Back in 2016, I started the Love on a Mama Bursary because I saw a real need in our community. So many mamas, partners, and their babes needed access to wellness care that wasn’t covered by benefits or the healthcare system — things like (not limited to) prenatal classes, prenatal yoga, lactation consulting, counselling, doula support, infant care, or Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

I wanted families in Fort St. John to have support when they needed it, without worrying about how to afford it.

Since then, Wild Tree Wellness has contributed — and continues to contribute — to this bursary, and over the years we are now approaching $26,000 given directly back to local families for anything wellness-related.
Everything is handled privately and anonymously: you simply tell me what support you need, I check the availability of funds, and the cost is covered directly with the practitioner.

How the Bursary Has Been Funded Over the Years:
• Wild Tree Wellness contributes regularly
• Some clients choose to pay on a sliding scale and donate the extra directly to the bursary
• Past community fundraisers and silent auctions
• Donations from people as far away as Costa Rica, Alberta, and southern BC
• Families who used the bursary in a tough season and later chose (not required!) to give back when life became easier

This bursary has always been rooted in the belief that well-being should never be out of reach — especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and early family life. We truly do better when we are cared for, supported, and seen.

So this is just a gentle reminder that the Love on a Mama Bursary is still available — both for families who need support and for anyone who feels called to contribute. As long as funds are available, support is available. No long application. No barriers.

Just community loving on community.
Just people helping people.
Just the understanding that sometimes we all need a little extra support — and that it’s okay to receive it.

If you’d like to access funding or if you’d like to contribute, please message me directly.
And thank you, truly, to everyone who has supported and continues to support this beautiful circle of care.

Love on a mama. Love on a family. Love on each other.
💛

LiveWell. LiveWise. LiveWild. Live.

“Give the way”

One of my favourite things about Bali was the daily rituals of prayer…

I captured this moment with a woman who shared that every day she goes out and offers prayers and gratitude for safety at this intersection. She lives and owns a shop on the corner and prays that those passing through slow down enough to truly see one another… that softening, generosity, and presence might prevent harm and suffering.

I pray this with her now — praying peace over the intersections of our world.

All the places where we meet and cross paths:
in person,
in messages,
in passing,
in conflict,
in misunderstanding,
in community,
in the moments when we’re seen and those where we are not.

May we take a moment to truly see one another.
May we soften.
May we choose care. May we give the way.
May our presence prevent suffering — in ourselves, and in others

May we greet eachother and ourselves well.

Over twenty years ago, when I was teaching in Yellowknife, one of my students handed me this quote. They said it reminded them of how I care for people-

It has lived on my door ever since. A daily reminder that healing happens one nervous system at a time. Not through grand gestures or institutions, but through steady, relational, human care.

It matters to me how your baby comes into the world, and how supported a mother feels as she steps into mamahood.

It matters to me how you recover post-surgery, how you navigate challenging diagnosis- how you integrate a changed body, and how your nervous system finds safety again.

It matters to me when you’re navigating complex relationships, noticing patterns, and choosing something different for yourself.

It matters to me when you’re carrying old hurts, chronic pain, or emotions that feel undigestible and too heavy to hold alone.

Individual by individual, session by session, it is an honor to walk alongside you as you come into what thriving health and well-being look like in your life.

I see the ripples of healing—into your families, workplaces, communities, and even strangers you meet…

“I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible loving human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets…”

As promised!!! MORE on how BCST supports BABIES ♥️🌱

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)for Parents & Infants.

Infants rely on their caregivers for nervous system regulation. This process, known as co-regulation, means that when parents receive support for stress, fatigue, and emotional load, their children often show measurable improvements in settling, feeding, and sleep. BCST offers a gentle, non-invasive approach that helps both systems shift toward stability.

🌿Clinical Benefits for Parents

BCST can support:
• Autonomic nervous system regulation
• Postpartum stress and overwhelm
• Musculoskeletal tension from labor and birth
And physical healing from vaginal or belly birth
• Emotional integration and bonding
• Sleep dysregulation and exhaustion
And more

Improved parental regulation often leads to improved infant regulation.

🌿Clinical Benefits for Infants

BCST may be helpful in addressing:
• Birth strain (including rapid, prolonged, instrumental, or surgical deliveries)
• Tongue-tie–related tension and post-release integration
• Torticollis and head positioning preference
• Plagiocephaly (mild cranial asymmetry)
• Reflux and digestive discomfort
• Colic-type crying and irritability
• Feeding challenges (breast or bottle)
• Sensory overstimulation and nervous system agitation

These presentations are commonly associated with cranial nerve compression, dural strain, or autonomic imbalance, and often respond well to subtle, biodynamic work.

🌿Additional Infant Presentations Commonly Supported

• Difficulty latching or shallow latch
• Post oral-tie revision recovery
• Feeding aversion or fussing during feeds
• Frequent spit-ups and gas discomfort
• Constipation or straining
• Restless sleep and frequent waking
• Overarching of the spine (extension patterning)
• Preference to turn the head to one side
• TMJ strain from birth positioning
• Cranial molding after prolonged labor
• Recovery from forceps or vacuum assistance
• Adaptation patterns following cesarean birth
• Persistent startle responses
• Frequent hiccups or bearing-down behaviors
• Congestion from cranial fluid pressures
• Stress patterns following a NICU stay and/or any birth separation between baby and parent(s)

🌿Why BCST Works for Infants

BCST supports:
• Reduced sympathetic (fight/flight) activation
• Improved vagal tone (rest/digest)
• Cranial nerve function involved in feeding and digestion
• Integration of birth-related compressive forces

Because infants’ tissues and nervous systems are still highly adaptable, shifts are often observed within 2–3 sessions.

🌿Treatment Approach

Sessions are conducted with:
• Gentle, non-manipulative touch
• Respect for the infant’s pace
• Support for bonding and co-regulation with the parent
• Attention to craniosacral, fascial, and autonomic patterns
* The earlier the treatments the better (There is much value in working with families prenatally, at birth and throughout 4th trimester and beyond

Parental participation is strongly encouraged, as caregiver regulation supports lasting change.

If you have questions about whether BCST may be appropriate for your infant or your own postpartum recovery, you’re welcome to reach out.
(And I do work with all ages and stages of life so please feel free to connect if you’re looking for BCST and/or a holistic approach to health.)

Yours in health,

🌿Erin

Samhain and Hallowed eve blessings.

The time we have with one another is sacred.
If our ancestors could share one thing… it might be that we love ourselves and one another well.

We are here in this moment~the result of thousands of love stories. May we all be as John Roedel says, “haunted by love” 🖤
