This year was the first year in many that I did not teach in my own garden. A past student recently sent me photos of classes in the garden and they are making me feel nostalgic. Thank you to all of the students who visited over the years. It feels a little vulnerable to allow strangers into your personal space, but for the most part, it has been a wonderful experience.

When I teach about holistic menopause support, I start with lifestyle. Why? Because lifestyle interventions work!

"Lifestyle medicine interventions were associated with reductions in vasomotor symptoms, improved sleep quality, enhanced mental well-being, healthier weight regulation, and reduced cardiometabolic and osteoporosis risk. Multidisciplinary, person-centered approaches improved adherence and patient-reported outcomes. Strategies were cost-effective, adaptable and beneficial for long-term disease prevention across diverse populations."

Medicine drop!
Update: only 3 syrups left.
(send me your order directly is you prefer to pick up and save on shipping)

I currently have 6 bottles of Shazamberry Syrup (4oz bottles) and a small batch of 7Healers Salve (2 2oz jars and 4 1oz jars). I can't list the 7healers on Etsy (I have no idea why, but they won't let me).

Anyway, let me know who wants what.
(Other formulas in the Etsy shop as well).

Take a peek into my personal herbal practice!

I started An Herbalist's Journal because my students wanted to continue to work with me and learn about herbal medicine after our time together was done. In this space, I share posts, photos, stories, musings, and sometimes classes related to my own herbal practice.

You'll see what I'm harvesting, how I'm working with the plants, my medicine-making strategies, and more.

There are 3 tiers for subscribing, based on your ability, and even a free option.

Plus, once you join, you get instant access to 3+ years of previous posts. Search the plant or topic you are interested in to see if I have already shared about it in the library.

Come join me and let's make some good medicine!

Harvesting lemon balm to round out a tea formula for a client. I am keenly aware that this is likely my last lemon balm harvest of the season. Lemon balm is uplifting, helping us to brighten our mood and feel a little lighter, even when life is heavy.

Herbs offer us so much support. I am grateful every day for this work connecting the healing plants with people who need the medicine.

Still time to join our free class!
Join me this Thursday for a free online class about how stress affects the menopause transition, and how we can transform our stress at this time.
Then, join Cathy on Friday as she calls in the Wild Woman Archetype.

We are changing the narrative around menopause. This time is a rite of passage for women and a time of empowerment. It is time we reclaimed it as such.

See you there.
