Flora ex Machina

Flora ex Machina INTEGRATIVE REIKI + HOLISTIC NUTRITION COUNSELING, SKINCARE Nutrition for the Holistically Minded. Art, Health + Beauty, Uncompromised. We’re going back to that.

Our back to Nature approach stems from an ancient Greek phrase, deus ex machina meaning, "god from the machine". It is a calque that is used to describe a plot device in story telling in which a supposedly unsolvable problem is resolved by the intervention of a new event, character, or ability. This is intended to move the story forward when the writer has no other apparent options or sees no othe

r way out.
​
Flora Ex Machina is a version of this concept, except we’ve substituted the Latin term flora, meaning plant life. Flora also happens to be the name of the Roman goddess of flowers, plants, and fertility. The name embodies our core values regarding our philosophy on food, health, and happiness. Plants are the magical solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem. At some point in human history we’ve managed to veer far off course in our innate understanding of how to take care of our bodies, live harmoniously with Nature, and use the inherent qualities of plants to heal and sustain ourselves. Plants are the solution to the seemingly insurmountable problem:
how can I be the healthiest version of myself? In reaction to the many questionable and often times harmful practices and beliefs when it comes to all things, diet, medicine, and beauty, we’ve taken a ‘back to the earth’ approach. We believe that there is no 100 percent failsafe or correct approach on how to eat and live well. Diet dogma comes in all shapes and sizes and we’ve chosen not to subscribe to any of them fully. Our philosophy is one of learning to benefit from many philosophies by broadening our knowledge of many traditional healing modalities. We’re looking back to the earth for the tools of healing, using ancient practices in a modern world. Humans discovered very early on that everything they need to maintain their health is available to them in Nature. In the end, we are all unique, complex creatures. We aren't perfect, we often want it all. In a modern society with so many often toxic options, we have to retrain our minds and bodies, find what works for ourselves, ignoring the nonsense. But I firmly believe we can do this without sacrificing health, or taste. Live Beautifully.

This season I’ve been reflecting on what Winter means for the body, mind and spirit. While this Winter has not felt like a hibernation or slowing down, the idea of death, pause, regeneration and rebirth seem fitting in so many ways.
This past Autumn I went back to school to pursue further training to and receive my Esthetician Licensing and come Spring will be introducing Holistic Facials into my services!

The face, like the feet, is a reflection of the body’s imbalances and way to access all the meridians of the body. It has been a longterm goal of mine to provide holistic support to the body in the most nourishing and pampering ways and I am so excited to bring these services to my FEM community with the soon-to-be-coming Spring energy.

Until then, stay tuned for more updates and please reach out with any questions - I’d love to connect!  I look forward to serving the Blue Hill community and will be opening my books for appointments soon!

Winter skincare that’s truly aligned with the season, is more than skin deep.

The lack of humidity and constant change in temperature, from indoors to outdoors, dehydrates our skin and can cause dryness – which in turn causes the pores to overproduce sebum, leading to skin irritation, dry scaly patches and clogged pores.

As tempting as it is to try every product on the market to dry out those areas of inflammation, what our skin is actually craving is the opposite! Soothe and calm the skin with lubricating and hydrating herbal oils to restore the lipid barrier and keep skin supple and smooth. And hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – outside and in!

While I’m a huge advocate of ‘beauty starts within’, what we put on our skin is just as important for our health (more on this in a moment). Keep your skincare regimen clean and green.
