🌿 PSST… HEY FRIENDS 👋 JUST A LITTLE REMINDER - THAT EVEN THOUGH I’M OUT ON MATERNITY LEAVE - HERB OF THE MONTH CLUB WILL GO ON 📚 and i’m happy to share that the club be led by my wonderful, amazing, assistant from the herbal path, julia ✨ julia was my student in the first HP cohort and came back this year to assist. now she is taking over the herb of the month club reigns to help guide you all through all the sweet content i’ve prepared 📚
JULIA 💕 is a gem and i am so grateful to her for holding this space so i can step away this summer with ease 🥹 she has so much awesomeness to offer, and i’m excited to watch her do her thing in the club! 🌿 learn more about julia below, and jump on over to the herb club to welcome her properly and check out all she has in store 💫
MEET JULIA AKPAN 🌿 YOUR HERB OF THE MONTH CLUB SUMMER GUIDE ☀️
HI 👋 I’M JULIA 🌿 a community herbalist working with and in my community to provide guidance and support geared towards giving people the tools to understand how to use herbs, with intention, in their day-to-day lives.
my focus is increasing awareness around, and bringing balance to, our natural cycles with a focus on identifying and finding balance in the anxiety response ✨

working with plants and herbs from a young age i’ve created a regular practice and study of herbs, from books, people, and the plants themselves. in addition to ongoing personal study I’ve also completed the in-person Herbal Path apprenticeship program, numerous intensives including tea formulating, stress support, and wholistic support in grief. while the field of herbal medicine making is vast, and I love exploring new formulations and preparations, i find myself drawn back to teas, tinctures, and salves; nettle, calendula, and tulsi. i’m super excited to be your herb-of-the-month guide over these next few months 🤙
MANY THANKS, JULIA! 🫶 now everyone hop on over to the club and welcome her there too ✨
☀️ P.S. A NEW MONTH BEGINS MONDAY, and as a special summer treat use code SUMMERFUN for one month free ☀️

ENERGY SHIFTS ✨ wowza! it has definitely been a wild couple of weeks, with big energy shifts in society and in people’s hearts ✨ as we move out of these shifts and into our daily lives it’s important to remember the plants that are here to support us 🌿
I SPOKE AT A WOMEN’S CIRCLE 🌕 last week on the full moon, and our conversation was all about how to support ourselves in the midst of change and transformation 🌙 our conversation centered around adaptogens, who’s energy is always there for us whenever we seek support for life’s big transitions ✨
PICTURED HERE WE HAVE LEMON BALM 🌿 and while it’s not an adaptogen, it is one of my favorites for softening the edges of the nervous system, and helping us to relax into our bodies and minds. a cooling herb by nature, throw some ginger in for balance during the cool weather and you’ve got yourself a real nervous system soother, right in your cup 🌿
THESe BIG CHANGES ARE ALSO REFLECTED IN THE COSMOS 🪐 so remw to be gentle with yourself and your loved ones as we all make our way onto new paths of transformation and growth ✨
