Arisma Holistic Herbal

07/09/2025

Hi. My name is Lynn-Marie Mattie. I’m a community Herbalist, Yoga teacher, Astrologer, and Mother. I have been interested in Holistic Health and Spirituality for most of my life and have explored and trained in many different modalities, including Life Coaching, Shamanism and Reiki.

Around 20 years ago, I met an Herbalist and studied with her for a year-long personal health journey. It profoundly impacted my life. A few years ago, I took the opportunity to study herbs more in depth, through a 3-year Herbal Practitioner Program. From this, Arisma Holistic Herbal was created, where I offer one-on-one consultations, herbal blends, and workshops.

It has been a dream to one day create and offer my own year-long health journey to clients and students. I want to share with you the benefits and empowerment that comes from learning and experiencing this focused exploration into your individual health.

This is the second year that I will be offering an in-depth, year-long, 100-hour course, called Journey through the Seasons of Your Health. Topics include Introduction to Holistic Herbalism, Plant Identification, Foraging, & Medicine Making, First-aid Gardens, Anatomy & Physiology, Western Energetics, Herbal Actions, Materia Medica, Breathing & Meditation, Solar, Lunar, & Medical Astrology.

If you are interested in joining me for this journey, please email lynnmarie@arisma.ca for an information package, which includes application, curriculum, schedule and pricing.

Sunday was a teaching day for the Journey course. We did a tour around Truro/Bible Hill to 3 locations to meet lots of local medicinal plants in full bloom.
These photos are from my backyard garden. I was so into the plants, I forgot to look at the camera lol

If you're looking for that perfect Mother's Day gift, wouldn't it be nice to shop local at Truro Farmers Market Cooperative

This Saturday, I'll have pottery mugs available (made by me ). A great gift idea, with a bag of your favorite Herbal (tea) Blend, or Mushroom Hot Chocolate

I also have gift certificates available, which can be used for herbal products or services, yoga classes, astrology readings, or pottery.

Hi Everyone,
I'll be offering the 4 week Astrology as a Language course in person, Tuesday evenings in May, at Studio 280 in Truro. (For the last few years, I've been teaching this course online over Zoom)

Contact me if you need more information lynnmarie@arisma.ca

My trusty travel companion is starting to fade. I've been looking on market place and Steps on Authur (New2U). This one is 32 cups, but I could use a larger one.

If anyone knows of a coffee or tea urn in good shape that is ready for a new home, it will be well loved 💕🌿🫖☕️

I've served thousands of cups of herbal 'tea' over the past 2 years as I've taken this pot to many markets, retreats, and speaking engagements. It's helped me to share the gentle medicine made from plants and water.

Green blessings 🌿🌼🌱🪻🍃

We made a beautiful Elderberry syrup, using frozen local elderberries, dried orange peel, fennel seed, and fresh thyme from my garden. We simmered, strained, and added fresh, local honey 🍯. Delicious 🌱 😋 🌿

Our 'Journey through the Seasons of Your Health' group met on 4 weekends this fall. I will do another post with more details. I planned to take more pictures, but we're so in the moment... you had to be there, lol.

I'm putting together more Elderberry Syrup Kits. They'll be available this Saturday at Truro Farmers Market Cooperative and also available at Harvest Market.

There is a recipe on the back to make your own Elderberry syrup at home. Simmer, strain and add honey. Store in the fridge and take a shot daily. It's always great to have on hand.

Extra tip... After I strain the berries, I make a second infusion with it and drink it up over the next 24 hours.

Delicious and nutritious! 🌿💜🌱
