Mothers...
Of human children from their own womb
Of human children they call their own
Of furry four-leggeds
Of green and growing
Of their business and gifting
Of their creative practice

Mothers are not only those who have personally given birth to a human babe. Someone who may be considered a mother is much more broad.

Mothers are those with a fierce, adamant love and care.
They bring into the world something that comes from deep within them, something that seems as if it could not originate from the human spirit alone.

Mothers are nourishment, tender love, and fierce protection.

Happy Mother's Day 🌷

Motherwort is a plant I like to say is for all who are Mothers and all who have Mothers (everyone!)...

For those times when the heart is anxious, scared, or needing some fierce motherly love and care. And when there is grief or tension of any kind in the mother-child relationship.

(Motherwort tincture is available for purchase on my website if this resonates with you 💜.)

The energy of Spring has peaked.
Summer is emerging.

In this community gathering, we take time to pause and reflect upon the season past, Spring, and learn into the season ahead, Summer.

After we've tuned into our own experiences, we'll then explore the Summer ahead of us in regard to how we can tend to ourselves - through lifestyle, diet, herbs, and more - with Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Western Herbalism, and Nature, herself as inspiration.

I managed a quick photo just after wrapping up last night's plant walk- the first plant walk of the 2026 season 🥰

It was such a fun walk with a super fun group of people.
Folks came with curiosity and a deep desire to learn, their energy contagious.

We talked all things spring edibles.
We laughed along the way.
We nibbled as we were comfortable.

With smiles upon all of our faces, we parted ways, garlic mustard in our hands.

If you're curious about the plants that grow all around you - in your yard, at the local parks and green spaces, and beyond - plant walks are for you!

Even though I call these plant *walks*, we spend more time crouching and standing as we are stopped looking at and discussing various plants than we are actually walking.

During our time together, you will quickly learn that each plant has it's own story, its own personality, its own medicine, and, sometimes, offers itself as food.

Each and every walk is unique and you are welcome to join for one or join for them all!

I'll see you among the plants 😉

I have been loving all the Nettles this Spring!

This past weekend, I was able to harvest a bag-full of tender Nettle tops from my parents land. Some was for eating/adding to my morning eggs and some were for making some Stinging Nettle Pesto 🙌

I couldn't resist sharing the recipe in my newsletter this past week. You can find it for yourself via the link below 💜

Let me know if you try it!!

🌷May is right around the corner 🌷

I have sessions available in Eagle Lake as well as in Zumbrota!

-:-:-

These sessions are for you...

To be truly heard in your concerns and experiences.

To be offered care that is specifically for you and not just a cookie-cutter plan.

To support your mind, emotions, and physical body in a gentle way which has long term well-being in mind.

-:-:-

Time after time, clients express gratitude and relief after sessions with me. They feel supported; they feel more grounded; they feel aligned.

💜 It is an honor to carry out the work of being in relationship with both the plants and the people.

❔️What is a Plant Walk?

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ A plant walk is a slow meandering walk where we stop often to look at, identify, and discuss the edibility and/or medicine of the plants we come across.

It is a time of curiosity, learning, sharing, and asking questions. And don't be surprised if you finish a plant walk feeling inspired by nature and the plants, curiosity and interest piqued.

Plant walks have a way of transforming the "green landscape" into plants with names - plants that provide us with food and medicine. This transforms your relationship with every plant and green space you encounter - over time and in the most beautiful way.

I hope to see you there (at one or all, as each walk is unique) 💚
