Spiraea Herbs with Correne Omland

My two cents, for what it’s worth:

When we use whole foods—complex, synergistic, alive—to justify the safety of isolated synthetic compounds, we’re walking a very slippery slope.

Just because eggs contain one or two of the same chemical constituents as aspartame does not automatically mean aspartame is safe. In nature, compounds exist within a full ecosystem—hundreds of constituents working together, often buffering or balancing each other. Many even exist to protect us from the others.

So when we isolate and synthesise a single compound and remove it from that natural context, can we truly claim it behaves the same—or is inherently safe?

Curious to hear your thoughts. Share below.

Grief is heavy in my heart and mind these past few days. None of us are immune to it and when we are reminded just how short life can be, it can bring up a lot.

It weaves stories and fear into our minds. It shows us the very antithesis of happiness and joy. It asks us to slow down and feel even when we don't want to.

I rely on the support of my herbal friends to guide me and those I love through. May they do the same for you.

🌿 You don’t need to come from a long line of herbalists to start your herbal journey.
You don’t need a perfect garden, a stocked apothecary, or years of experience.

You just need curiosity — and a willingness to remember what your body already knows.

I created Roots to Wellness for exactly that reason — to help you reconnect with the plants, your body, and the rhythms that keep you well.

✨ Join me for a free week of herbal teachings, community, and grounded wisdom.
Classes start soon — drop a 🌱 below or check the link in my bio to sign up.

Thirteen years ago today, I became a mother. 💫

While that moment changed everything (in all the expected and unexpected ways), one of the biggest shifts was how my own wellness journey transformed—almost overnight.

For those first few years, I was in pure survival mode. I had no clue what I was doing (pretty sure most new parents can relate 😅), and my own health quietly slid onto the back burner. As my son grew, that back burner became its permanent home as I slipped further into the role I thought a mother “should” be—

Someone who puts everyone else’s needs first.

If you’ve ever been a caregiver, you know exactly what I mean. You can recite all the “you can’t pour from an empty cup” quotes you want, but the truth is… most of us are deeply conditioned to sacrifice our own wellbeing for those we love.

And for many, it takes getting sick—or just feeling off—to finally realise something has to change.

Now, thirteen years into this journey, I’m shifting that story. From wearing self-sacrifice as a badge of honour… to wearing self-care as one instead. 🌸

It’s not just about reclaiming my health—it’s about reclaiming me. Who I am. Who I came here to be.

I’m curious—how many of you feel this too?
Are you, like me, rediscovering yourself beyond the role of caregiver? Or is that role still your main focus right now?

Neither is wrong. Neither is better. They simply are.

💬 Drop a comment below if this resonates—I’d love to hear where you’re at on your own journey.

✨Lately I’ve been diving deep into my Human Design studies (hello, rabbit hole 🐇) — and as part of this journey I’m actually working towards certification. So consider this a little sneak peek into the direction and evolution of my work.

Your friendly neighbourhood herbalist coming at you with some nervous system PSA.

Please remember friends, our nervous systems were never designed to absorb, take on and process the amount of information that comes at us in this modern age. It was not that long ago where messages from neighbouring cities and towns would take days to reach us. Nevermind information from around the world!

So please take care. Recognize when you are falling to nervous system programming and traps designed to keep you addicted, anxious and in despair.

Yes, we are here to witness the dark so that we can transmute it into something beautiful. But it does not mean it needs to take up permanent residence in your nervous system.

And no, you are not a bad person if you need to put your phone down, walk away and take care of yourself.

Sending you lots of love. 💙💙

✨ Herbs for Your Eclipse Season ✨

We’re in eclipse season again — those cosmic hinge points that shake things loose and ask us to realign.

Back in March, Virgo’s eclipse pushed us to release control and perfectionism. Now in September, Pisces invites us to surrender into trust, flow, and imagination.

What does that mean for your body?
👉 Fatigue, brain fog, gut flare-ups, emotional waves, or even routines collapsing. These aren’t failures. They’re signals to soften.

And here’s the good news — the plants are right here with us. Nervines to soothe the nervous system, bitters to ease Virgo’s digestive tension, Piscean herbs like Mugwort and Blue Vervain to help us surrender and dream. 🌿

✨ My reminder to you: Eclipse season isn’t about doing more. It’s about creating space for what wants to shift. Trust the reset.

🔮 Journal with this:
“What ways of trying to ‘get it right’ am I being asked to release? What invitation is waiting when I allow trust to replace control?”

📌 Save this guide for the last September eclipse, and share it with a friend who could use some gentle lunar support.
