Good morning from the garden! This Cardoon in flower with the Coreopsis is just *chef's kiss* y'all.

This week has my mornings full but there's still some afternoon openings on the schedule if you're in need of a session. 👣

Heading to the post office tomorrow to mail out Angie's reflexology certificate. 🥳

Angel dropped off some reishi and oyster mushroom blocks for the community this afternoon. I immediately plopped one in a raised garden bed to make mycelium friends. 🥰

In two other beds I have a Lion's Mane block, and a chestnut block.

Reflexology school is calling! Join a small group of peers in our next Foundations in Reflexology course starting Tuesday, January 20th.

Join a profession that works with whole-person wellness, makes people feel nurtured and cared for, is a suuuper low stress occupation, and has you jumping out of bed in the morning wanting to help folks feel their best! 😃

It's my great honor to be accepting registrations for my eighteenth cohort this year. Y'all come study reflexology with me! 👣

What's on your self-care list this month, friends? Are you getting pockets of rest? Creating some connections in your community?

I made a peach pie with last year's bounty that we froze and am soooo grateful for past me thinking of future me's comforts. 🥰

"Your feet walk upon the earth and through this your spirit is connected to the universe. Our feet are our contact with the earth and the energies that flow through it." - Jenny Wallace, Cherokee Moon Maiden and practicing reflexologist, in a 1989 interview

Look who made a fresh batch of Firey Oxymel!

This batch is wildflower honey, organic apple cider vinegar, onion, horseradish, turmeric and ginger roots, garlic, and serrano pepper.

A nice little tonic for the immune, digestive, and circulatory systems. Pickup a bottle at your next session, or ping me to set aside a bottle for porch pickup.

Mushroom blocks just dropped off this morning from the mushroom farm! Lots of blue oysters here, which have shown to be helpful for the immune system, balancing blood sugars, and helping to keep cholesterol in check.

Mushroom fajitas are my current favorite way to prepare oyster mushrooms. They're also amazing dried and powdered into an umami seasoning powder that goes with everything. 😋

I have a few blocks in the indoor grow tent but if you've got room on your countertop you should grab a block today or tomorrow before the heat gets to them. 🥵

Y'all stay safe out there!

Happy 9th Anniversary to the home studio! 🙏🥳

Welcome to the new studio! Setting up for sessions today and maybe a hydrosol distillation if there's time later.

This is what helping keep 10,000 mushroom blocks out of the landfill every week looks like. ♻️🍄🤯

Thanks for letting us support the community, 🥰

Y'all need some mushrooms for fajita night or to help your garden thrive in this heat? Come grab a couple blocks and send a donation over to the fungi crew to help them fund educational projects and the lab studying how to use mushrooms for soil remediation projects (🍄 can literally eat plastic!).
