Being a business owner, especially in healing, means people reach out day and night It's 24 hours a day 7 days a week.(Literally ) And I care deeply. And when I say I’m closed for family or rest, I’m not asking for distance—I’m simply asking for understanding. I’m human, balancing a large family, homeschooling, my own health journey & so much more.
When I do respond, (even in my off hours), many times I’m suddenly met with silence after your told, I'm not able to drop what I'm doing & help you or the answer you got isn't what you want. Many times business owners don't even pay themselves for the hours they work, let alone everything that's done behind the scenes.
Let’s not treat each other as mere convenience. Behind every business is a real person. And when we honor each other’s time, we build a circle of respect, love, and support—where we all grow stronger, together. Have a blessed Sunday

Your body gives you quiet hints long before it raises its voice. When you feel that whisper of exhaustion or strain, it’s your cue to pause. No matter the whirlwind around you, make space for yourself—because tending to your well-being today is what stops tomorrow’s storm.

A message from Stephenie, owner & founder.
Thank you to all who came to celebrate with us this past Saturday!
Please watch this video for an update and a candid talk.
I have been going through severe health issues and mental dysfunction. I've have been having to hide my symptoms and act as if I'm ok in order to get through our moving and expanding locations, our grand reopening , contracting practioners, our new farmers market and everything in between small business homeschooling homesteading and a large family
I'm still trying to get to the root of the problems of my health issues. I am navigating specialists appointments , blood tests, X-rays, multiple appointments a week, & lots of research.
I have not been able to breathe and not been able to move right, or walk, not getting in or out of vehicles well, sitting & laying down are extremely painful. I'm not sleeping and have extreme neuropathy something's going on inside of my internal organs. I'm 47 having new hormonal issues and imbalances I've never experienced before. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. There's a healing breakthrough coming, I can feel it
