Preserve the wilderness inside you.
It is a sacred place.
You are your own sacred place.
That reserve is not lost.
It’s just a matter of effectively tapping in to “your nature.”

I am a writer, astrologer, and folk herbalist. I spent most of my life in the Appalachian region, a few solo years in the desert, and now split my time between Frederick and Pittsburgh (with some nomadic living sprinkled in). I create books, zines, short films, songs, herbal formulas, and other medicinal things.

Follow along with me on my travels, internal & external …

+ for herb shop updates, journaling prompts, and things noticed along the way :)

WORKSHOPS ON CREATIVITY, JOURNALING, PLANT MEDICINE,
AND CULTIVATING CREATIVE SPACES & SACRED PRACTICES

Herbal teas, tinctures, oils, salves, balms, botanical perfumes, plant burn bundles, bath salts, and other handcrafted items made from wildcrafted and/or organic plants that I source primarily from the desert southwest and the Appalachian region.

ORDERS ARE SHIPPED MONTHLY

Please bear with me :) I split my time between Frederick MD and Pittsburgh (and occasionally live on the road).
