Body, Root & Soul

12/26/2025

Thank you all for reaching out and sharing some of your memories of Mike, especially those who knew him in his first half of life. Hearing how you remember him and how he touched you feels like a balm to my grieving heart. I don’t have many pictures of my brother in these past few years of his life, he didn’t allow people to take his photo, and I saw him less and less in these past few years. I will continue to remember him in his earlier years as he was so full of life and light, and I know that that’s who he really was. I know Mike’s essence, his core being, and that’s how I will remember him.

This is a more recent picture of my brother, from a few years back. I feel grateful that I got to see him this year when I went back to Michigan to help out my mom after her heart attack. It was actually quite painful to see my brother and who he had become, but I feel grateful that I got to be with his living body one last time. 💔 He will always be my big brother who could make me laugh so easily and told me that we were like super heros, brother and sister who were seperated in childhood that would one day reunite to save the world. We are once again separated but I know his love and protection lives within me. ❤️

will always remember my brother how he was in some of these first few images. My brother Mike struggled with mental illness for 30 plus years of his life, so in many ways I feel like I lost him a long time ago. Having a sibling/family member living with mental illness has been one of the biggest griefs in my life, finding the balance between hope and acceptance. Not hoping that he would return into the person he was before, but hope in the stretches when he was stable that they would elongate even more.

He was my light as a kid, he loved protecting and looking out for me. He was bright, funny, intelligent, creative, and sensitive. I always thought he was one of those that was too sensitive for this world. He had a huge heart, was caring, loved the ocean, played guitar, loved nature and so much more.

I am grateful to have called you my brother in this life, and ever since grateful that my kids got to experience some of your light and laughter, even after your diagnosis. You will forever be in my heart, in the waves of the ocean, in the strings of the guitar and a part of who I am.

Rest in Peace my dearest Mike ❤️

🌿Nervous System Nourishment 🌿

I have two nervous system tinctures available, Nervous System Nourishment, is a blend of Blue Vervain, Milky Oat Tops, Rose Tincture, with Rose Infused Honey 🌹 🍯
Blue Vervain is a nervine which can help one move out of thier heads and back into the body, that also helps to uplift the spirits. It can help relax the nervous and musculoskeletal system, without being sedating. In Flower Essences, Blue Vervain is recommended for those who are highly driven, and/or are burnt out. Great for caregivers and those who can get stuck in their heads, allowing them to slow down, become more embodied, and unwinding and releasing tension they may hold, so that they can access their own energy in a more regulated and rhythmic way.

Rose supports overall emotional wellbeing, strengthening and soothing the emotional and physical heart. Rose can help with stress and anxiety, grief support, and uplift mood. Rose is a gentle and protective heart medicine that is a relaxant nervine , blood mover and cardiovascular tonic. Rose also offers immune system support, digestive support and is an anti-inflammatory. Rose helps us to slow down, and be present and gentle with ourselves, and remember that gentleness is not weakness.

The second tincture is Rose Tincture with Rose infused Honey.

I will be at the Albany Craft Fair this Sunday 11-3

The Albany Craft Fair is happening early this year! This Sunday from 11-3, at the Albany Middle School. There are always lots of great local vendors and artists there. I will be there with some nervous system nourishment, herbal infused body oils, heart and nervous system tonics and tinctures, and my famous Shea butter balm.

Herbal infused oils are highly potent and medicinal infused organic olive oil, with herbs steeped for at least one full moon cycle. Each year I make medicine, as I truly love creating formulas while feeling into what is most needed at this time… this year my focus is on nervous system and heart medicine and nourishment. Herbal body oils are a great way to add somatic self care and ritual into our daily routines. You can liberally massage onto whole body, or areas that may feel hold tension throughout the day, before bed, before and after work.

This year I have Deep Relief Body Oil, which is St. John’s Wort Oil, which is made from fresh plant material, which turns into a vibrant red color. The oil is often used to help reduce anxiety and stress, while helping to relieve and release tension, also used for wound healing and to reduce inflammation. It is often used for pain relief, from pain associated with muscle aches, arthritis and nerve pain.

I slso have a blend called Heart and Grief Ally Body Oil, whis is infused organic olive oil with Motherwort, Rose and Violet. Which all help to soothe and strengthen the heart through grief, heartache, and just living in the world we live in today.

Hooe to see you there ❤️💜💚
