I have wellness industry fatigue.

The constantly changing goal posts about what is considered ‘healthy’ and ‘ethical’ and ‘moral’.

You think you’re doing something right only to find out a year later that the product you invested in isn’t what they said.

So now you scramble and save your hard-earned money once again so you can pivot and why?

All in the hopes that it won’t change again?

It’s exhausting.

And deep down it shows me that the wellness industry is no better than any of the other industries I was trying to escape or avoid.

So curious… Is anyone else exhausted by the wellness industry?

I’ve pulled back.

Back from my work. From social media. Cocooning myself while I try to ‘figure things out’.

But then I realized I was doing the very thing that bothers me most about social media.

Waiting until I knew where I was going ~ until I was ‘put together’ to show up. Forgetting how important it is for people to see the uncertain. The messy. The in-between.

So here I am. In between and still figuring things out. 💙💙

Root to Remedy: A Hands-on Tincture Workshop

Saturday, October 3rd | 1:00–4:00 pm
In-Person workshop | $87 CAD including tax

Let's get our hands dirty. 🌿
I'm hosting a small, hands-on afternoon all about making tinctures from roots—and this one is going to be much more doing than sitting and listening.

We'll spend the afternoon working with roots, learning how to prepare them for tincturing, choosing our menstruum, processing the plant material, and actually making medicine together.

And yes—you'll be taking some of that medicine home with you.

Every participant will leave with at least 250 mL of their own Inula tincture.

We'll also have other roots on hand, and depending on what we're working with that day, we'll likely make additional tinctures or prepare roots for you to take home with you.

This isn't a lecture-heavy workshop. There won't be a pile of handouts or hours of theory.

Instead, we'll learn by doing.

We'll talk about things like:
Why roots require different preparation than leaves and flowers
How to prepare fresh and dried roots for tincturing
Choosing alcohol and working with different menstruums
Cutting, chopping and processing roots
Ratios and practical tincture-making considerations
What makes a good root tincture—and what can go sideways
Labelling, storing and using your finished preparations
And then we'll get to work.
All materials are included.

No lunch this time—we're keeping this one short, focused and hands-on.
The details
Saturday, October 3rd
1:00–4:00 pm
$87 CAD, including tax

Space will be limited so that everyone actually gets to participate in the making.

Come spend an afternoon with roots, alcohol, jars, knives and a whole lot of plant medicine. 🌿

Something very strange happened with my garden sage this summer.

After more than a decade of growing it, it suddenly flowered.

I noticed.

Then I ignored it because I had a plan for my summer.

Until a hummingbird showed up at my kitchen window, flew directly to the sage, drank from the flowers… and then came back to the window.

😂

Message received.

So I made the flower essence.

And what came through was all about that strange space between who you were and who you’re becoming.

That uncomfortable place where the old no longer fits, but the new hasn’t quite arrived yet.

And honestly? I think a lot of us spend more time in that space than we realize.

I wrote the whole story over on Substack, including what Sage had to say about deconditioning, joy and preparing ourselves for the next layer of our journey.

On Sunday we visited Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden.

I still can't quite believe that a place like this has been sitting in my own backyard for years while people travel from all over the world to experience it... and I had no idea.

The moment I stepped into the shrine, it felt like walking through a portal in time. The scent of incense instantly carried me back to Thailand and Korea—to another chapter of my life that I hadn't visited in years.

Lately, I've been exploring the energy of our Godhead (or Goddess School, as Karen Curry Parker calls it) through Human Design.

Mine is Kuan Yin.

So standing before a shrine dedicated to Kuan Yin... only 30 minutes from home... felt like more than coincidence. It felt like an invitation.

Something shifted.

It reminded me that transformation doesn't always ask us to board a plane, book an expensive retreat, or travel to the other side of the world.

Sometimes the place that's meant to change you has been waiting quietly, just down the road.

✨ Have you ever discovered something extraordinary close to home that changed the way you saw yourself—or your own backyard?

I think deconditioning is like gardening.

Sure, I can put new plants in my garden. Spend hundreds (cough) of dollars adding in more yarrows, coneflowers and monardas.

But if I don’t dig out the quack grass and thistles (ie conditioning), what are the chances that the new frequencies those plants can bring in will actually be able to take root?

And even if they can ~ they are just going to be bullied out of my garden if I neglect the other things trying to take over.

Stepping into your authenticity is just like gardening.

Dig out the invasives and give your garden a chance to freaking bloom!

One of the biggest buzzwords in Human Design is “deconditioning.”

And honestly?

I think it scares a lot of people off.

Because it sounds like:
✨ fixing yourself
✨ healing every wound
✨ becoming someone completely different
✨ spending 7 years locked in a spiritual escape room trying to become “aligned”

No thank you.

But the more I’ve worked with Human Design, plants, flower essences and nervous system patterns… the more I’ve come to realize that deconditioning isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about peeling back the layers that were never yours to begin with.

The pressure.
The urgency.
The people pleasing.
The burnout.
The “shoulds.”
The feeling that everyone else knows what’s right for your life more than you do.

THAT’S the work.

So I’m starting a brand new series exploring deconditioning through the lens of:
🌿 Human Design
🌿 herbs
🌿 flower essences
🌿 embodiment
🌿 nervous system patterns
🌿 and practical grounded support

And honestly? I’m really excited about where this is headed.

The intro post just dropped over on Substack.

There aspects of herbalism that are expected and well understood. Studying, harvesting, medicine making and practical application into your life.

When we welcome plants into our lives, these are the things we expect.

A library of books. Baskets of herbs. Jars of concoctions. Experimenting with different combinations to find just the right remedy.

But it’s the unexpected aspects of herbalism that break you open. Cracking the hard exterior shell and asking you to show up in ways that you might not understand or expect. In ways that aren’t always easy.

Opening your mind to plants will enrich your life.

Opening your soul and heart to plants will align you with your mission.

I started studying herbal medicine because I didn’t want to be sad anymore. I wanted to heal my nervous system.

Little did I know the path they would lead me down.

A path to deep healing. True embodiment. And total surrender to my work and mission.

And it hasn’t been easy. Those pretty baskets of herbs and apothecary tables filled with jars of all shapes and sizes ~ those are just masks.

The real work is messy and hard.

The real work asks you to trust while not always having understanding.

I know now that healing bodies is only part of the story of humanity. A necessary part, yes, but not the whole puzzle.

Because if we want to shift the trajectory of this world, we need to heal our hearts and souls alongside our bodies.

I’ve been asked if I’m closing down my YouTube channel or stepping away from my work. I’ve hinted at change and of course, that makes people nervous. I understand.

But the plants are not leaving. Herbal medicine is not leaving. The work that shaped me and introduced thousands of people to this path is still deeply woven into everything I do.

What’s changing is the depth.

Because the path unfolding before me now asks for something bigger than information alone. Bigger than protocols and remedies.

It asks for remembrance. Embodiment. Trust. Devotion.

And I think… perhaps that was where the plants were leading me all along.
