If you are local this looks like a great opportunity to slow down for some self care!

We’re so excited to finally share this… 🌿

Join us for Roots & Recharge. A calming, beginner-friendly experience right here at Botanica. We’ll start with a selection of hot teas and light breathwork, move into a gentle yoga flow, and end with a small plant for you to take home. 🪴

Created in collaboration with Jennifer Martin at Heart Center Healing, this is your invitation to slow down, reset, and spend some intentional time in a beautiful space.

✨ April 26 • 11AM-2PM
✨ $25 (includes your take-home plant)

Spots are limited—reserve yours through the link below 💚

Feeling especially thankful today - For my health;
For my family and my tribe;
For our incrediable staff that have supported me and made working through this challenging year possible;
For all of our patients who have encouraged me, prayed for me, and been patient with all the changes cancer brought to our office

God has truly given me everything I need even in the storms.

Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you!

In the spirit of the season our office has adopted a family to provide Christmas presents too. We would love to have our patients (or anyone!) help us with this goal. Check out our tree in the office if you are interested
