There is so much magic in mushrooms - not just in how they look, but in how they live. 🍄
Some fruit overnight, appearing suddenly after rain, while below the surface their mycelium forms vast, intelligent networks.

Mycelium doesn’t just break down organic matter; it connects plants and trees, passes nutrients and water between them, and supports the health of entire ecosystems. This is why it’s often called the “Wood Wide Web.”

Medicinal mushrooms have been used for centuries - Reishi for immunity and resilience, Lion’s Mane for cognition and nerve health, Chaga for antioxidant support, Turkey Tail for the microbiome. They are powerful allies in food and medicine.

I love harvesting and cooking mushrooms, using them therapeutically, and studying their actions…
but watching them grow freely and capturing their beauty through my lens remains one of my favourite things to do. 🍄📷
They remind me that the forest is alive, intelligent, and full of hidden relationships.

🔥 The fire pits are back - and so is my Cold Swimmer Tea! ☕️
Autumn is in full swing, the temperatures are dropping, and this is exactly when we crazy cold-water swimmers start to get excited - the real fun begins now! ❄️💦💙

My special tea blend was created to warm you up from the inside out after those chilly dips.
So grab yourself a pack and get ready for the freezing season ahead - your post-swim body will thank you 😉🌿

It’s been a whole week since I sat my Final Clinical Exam! Although it’s such a massive relief, I’ve still got a 2-week wait for the results 😭

Escaping for the weekend was exactly what I needed — time to clear my head, reconnect with my beloved plants and nature, walk the paths I first wandered 8 years ago in beautiful Seahouses, and let the sea waves calm my mind. 🌊🌿

Now I’m back home, ready to turn my attention to decluttering the house and digging deep into my allotment and garden — both of which have been a little neglected this past year while I was buried in revision. Here’s to fresh starts, inside and out 🌱💚

🌿✨ Bespoke Herbal Tea Blends ✨🌿

One of my favourite parts of herbalism is creating personalised tea blends tailored to someone's unique needs and preferences. Recently, I crafted two special blends, each with its own character and purpose.

The first was a beautifully harmonising infusion designed to support balance and well-being. This thoughtful blend features Rose, Yarrow, Dandelion Root and Flowers, Nettle, Mugwort, Chamomile, Motherwort, St. John's Wort, Calendula, Lavender, and Evening Primrose—bringing together a mix of grounding, uplifting, and nurturing herbs.

The second blend was created with deep restoration and resilience in mind. Featuring Mugwort, Lemon Balm, Horsetail, Holy Basil, Skullcap, Schisandra, Black Walnut Leaf, Californian Poppy, Elderberries, and Nettle, this tea is a soothing and fortifying brew, embracing both vitality and tranquility.

Every blend is made with care and intention, ensuring that each sip brings warmth, wellness, and a touch of herbal magic. 💚
