💚🌿Happy New Year ✨
As we step into this new cycle, my heart feels so full of gratitude.

Thank you to everyone who follows my work, reads my posts, shows up to my classes, trusts me with your learning, and chooses to purchase my offerings. Your support, whether it’s a like, a share, a kind message, or showing up in person it truly means more than I can put into words.

Thank you to my Montana friends who have welcomed me so deeply into this land and community, and to my Oregon friends who still hold such a special place in my heart. Distance doesn’t change the roots we share 🌲

Herbalism isn’t just what I do it’s my life, my calling, and my devotion. It is an honor and a privilege to walk alongside others in learning, healing, remembering, and reconnecting with the plants and with ourselves.

Thank you for trusting me, for learning with me, and for sharing this work with others. I’m so grateful for each of you, and I can’t wait to see what this next year brings for all of us 🌿✨

Happy New Year 💚

Meet uva ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), also known as bearberry, a low-growing evergreen with glossy leaves and bright red berries 🍒 that thrives in forests and mountain landscapes. Tough, resilient, and quietly powerful....just like its medicine.
Uva ursi has a long history of use as a urinary tract ally, thanks to its astringent nature and plant compounds that support urinary health. Herbalists have traditionally turned to the leaves, not the berries, when working with this plant often as a short-term, focused herb rather than a daily tonic.
Various Native American tribes knew uva ursi well and used it in multiple ways. The berries, while mild and mealy, were sometimes eaten fresh, dried, or added to foods like pemmican alongside other fruits, fat, and meat. Think nature’s power bar! The leaves were also valued culturally and medicinally, and in some traditions used in smoking blends.
Legend (and observation!) says bears love the berries hence the name. And honestly, if bears approve, that’s a pretty good endorsement 😉 The common name “bearberry” comes from observations that bears do eat the berries, particularly in northern and alpine regions where food sources can be limited. The Latin name uva-ursi literally translates to “grape of the bear.”
Have you ever spotted uva ursi in the wild or worked with it before? 🌿 Drop a 🌲 if this plant is new to you, or a 🍒 if you’ve met bearberry before!

The "Winter Solstice" is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the real understanding that this is truly a period of descent and rest, of going within our own homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this last year which is now coming to a close... like Nature itself and the animal kingdom all around us, this is a time of hibernation and so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds. Our modern culture teaches avoidance to the max at this time with alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumerism. And yet the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is so hard, because for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas in actual fact winter is kind, she points us in her quiet soft way towards our inner self, towards this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting and loving embracing, goodbye to the past year. "Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth"... and then, just around the corner the New Year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep into the Earth, we will all rise up with renewed Energy once again to dance with the Sunlight. Life is surely a gift!

Ever notice how your yard is trying to offer you free healthcare? Those “weeds” you’re pulling out are basically tiny pharmacists in disguise! Before you go all out with the weeding, introduce yourself. One of those little plants could be destined for your teacup. 🌱☕

🌿 St. John’s Shield... for the days when your inner light needs tending 🌿

This is one of those remedies I reach for when life feels heavy, winter creeps into the bones, or the nervous system is stretched thin. St. John’s Shield is an oil made from fresh summer St. John’s Wort blossoms gathered at their peak and slow-infused in sunlight until the oil turns this gorgeous ruby red. You can literally see the plant’s light captured in it. 🌞 St. John’s Wort is the keeper of inner light.It arrives when shadows grow long, offering courage, warmth, and hope. It tends the nerves, the heart, and the spirit.It reminds us that even the tiniest spark can dispel darkness. As John prepared the way for Christ, the Light, this plant prepares the way for inner light, guidance, and courage in dark times.

That’s why it became known as St. John’s Wort his herb, his protection, his midsummer blessing.

I love it for

Over the heart when emotions feel heavy.
On the feet or spine before sleep.
Across the solar plexus when anxiety flutters.
Warm compresses over kidneys or bladder for grounding.

🍃 Its alchemy:
• Fresh St. John’s Wort tops gathered at summer’s peak and kissed by the sun until the oil turns ruby red.The red oil inside the crushed flowers was thought to represent the blood of John the Baptist, spilled after his beheading.
• Essential oils of Angelica, Rose Geranium, and St. John’s Wort ifting mood, harmonizing spirit, and encouraging internal light
• Flower essences of Borage, St. John’s Wort, and Love-Lies-Bleeding to anchor resilience, courage, and spiritual brightness

Think of it as a balm for shadow seasons:
supportive, uplifting, protective ...inviting warmth into the places that feel weary, numb, or dimmed by circumstance.
