I’m back at the cabin for the season, and my books are open again.

There’s something about working here in the fall that feels especially good. The cooler air, the trees changing, the quieter pace of the property…it all makes the cabin feel like a place where you can come in, shut the rest of the world out for a little while, and settle.

I’m currently scheduling bodywork, restorative touch therapy, Reiki and energy work, and herbal consultations.

I’m also offering longer, curated sessions for anyone who wants more than a standard appointment.

Those can include tea, journaling, Reiki, hands-on bodywork, restorative touch, and other supportive practices depending on what you’re needing. The full experience can last up to four hours and includes time for a light snack while you journal and take a little space between the different parts of the session.

It’s meant to feel unhurried.

Not squeezing several things into an hour, but actually having time to let the experience unfold.

If you’ve been wanting some dedicated time for yourself this fall, send me a message and we can talk about what kind of session would feel right for you.

Today I got to talk about something I care a lot about: why herbalism isn’t one-size-fits-all.

For my presentation at Shining a Light on Holistic Wellness at Land of Light, I used a few familiar herbs to show how much more there is to choosing an herb than simply matching it to a symptom.

Turmeric, ginnger, marshmallow root, and lemon balm can all be wonderful herbs, but who they’re appropriate for—and why—depends on the person, the pattern, and what is actually going on in the body.

Twenty minutes goes fast when you’re talking about something you're passionate about.

I enjoyed getting to share a little of the way I approach herbalism and meeting people who were curious enough to ask questions afterward.

Deep Earth smells like stepping into the woods after the air has cooled and the ground is still holding the day.

Cedarwood and black spruce come through first. Frankincense adds a deeper resinous note, clove brings warmth, and lavender softens the edges.

It’s earthy, woody, resinous, a little smoky, and warm.

The bar itself is made with a blend of oils and butters, along with colloidal oats and chaga powder. The chaga gives it some of that beautiful earthy character visually too, so the finished bar looks like it belongs with the scent.

Soap is also one of those things I can only make in truly small batches right now.

Once it’s poured and cut, it needs weeks of space to cure—and space is something I have to be very mindful of while living and working from a camper. I simply don’t have room for racks and racks of soap curing at once while still making everything else for Of Urth.

So when I make a batch, it really is a limited batch.

That makes soap feel a little extra special to me. I choose what I want to make, give it the space it needs, and then when those bars are gone, it may be a while before that particular soap comes around again.

Deep Earth is curing now.

$16 each or 2 for $30

If cedar, spruce, resin, spice, and the smell of the woods sound like your kind of soap, send me a message and I’ll reserve a bar for you.

If you tell me you’re constipated, I still don’t know what herb I would suggest.

That’s because 'constipation' tells me what is happening, but not much about -why- it may be happening.

Are the stools dry, hard, and difficult to pass?

Is digestion slow and heavy, with bloating and very little urge to go?

Do you feel like you need to go, but everything tightens up and nothing moves?

Did it start after travel, stress, a change in diet, medication, dehydration, or something else?

Those details matter.

Someone who is very dry may need a completely different approach than someone whose digestion feels cold and sluggish. And someone whose gut seems to clamp down when they’re stressed may need something different again.

This is one of the reasons I don’t love the internet version of herbalism that says:

Constipation? Take this herb.

Herbs have their own actions and energetics, and people have their own patterns. A plant can be a great choice for one person and make absolutely no sense for another person with the exact same complaint.

That’s a big part of what happens during an herbal consultation. I’m not just asking what symptom you have. I’m trying to understand how it shows up in your body.

One of the hardest things about explaining what I do is that I don’t fit neatly into one box.

I work with the body through massage, touch therapy, somatic practices, and energy work.

I work with plants through herbal consultations, herbal medicine, and formulation.

I work with the senses through aromatherapy.

And I spend a lot of time looking at the everyday pieces that shape how someone feels—food, digestion, sleep, stress, movement, and the patterns that keep showing up in the body.

None of those things feel separate to me.

Someone may come in because their shoulders are constantly tight, but that tension may also be connected to how they’re breathing, how much stress they’re carrying, how well they’re sleeping, or how supported they feel in their day-to-day life.

Someone may come in for an herbal consultation because of digestion or low energy, and the conversation may also lead us into food, nervous-system patterns, or the way stress is showing up physically.

That’s the kind of work I’m interested in.

Not treating one isolated complaint and ignoring the rest of the person, but looking at what may be influencing it from several directions and deciding what kind of support actually makes sense.

Sometimes that’s hands-on work.

Sometimes it’s herbs.

Sometimes it’s food or a daily practice.

Sometimes it’s a combination.

That’s really what Of Urth has grown into for me: a place where all the things I’ve spent years studying can finally work together.

8/8 gets talked about as the Lion’s Gate—a time associated with intention, change, and stepping into something new.

I’m less interested in the idea that one particular day magically changes everything and more interested in what dates like this can invite us to notice.

What are you still carrying simply because you’ve gotten used to carrying it?

A habit. A responsibility. An expectation. A way of speaking to yourself. Something you keep saying yes to when a part of you has been saying no for a long time.

We tend to think making a change means we need to know exactly what comes next.

Sometimes it starts much smaller than that.

We notice.

We get curious about why something doesn’t feel right anymore.

And maybe we give ourselves enough room to find out what would feel different.

That’s a question I’m sitting with today:

What am I ready to make a little more room for?

I’ve been quietly planning a series of gatherings at Land of Light in Paw Paw for this fall and winter, and the dates are now on the calendar.

Herbal Tea Circle

These will be small, relaxed gatherings centered around tasting and learning about herbs. We’ll talk about their traditional uses, energetics, preparation, folklore, and how they may fit into everyday life.

September 5 | 1–3 pm
October 3 | 1–3 pm
November 7 | 1–3 pm
December 6 | 4–6 pm

I’ll also be offering a second series called:

Beneath the Surface

These gatherings will be less about learning information and more about experiencing what comes up when we slow down long enough to notice ourselves. Each one will be built around a different theme and may include breathwork, guided reflection, journaling, body awareness, and practices inspired by books or ideas I’ve found meaningful.

September 26 | 1–3 pm
October 23 | 6–8 pm
November 1 | 2–4 pm
December 19 | 1–3 pm

More details about the individual themes and registration will be shared soon.

Both series will be held at Land of Light in Paw Paw.

Someone recently reached out to ask if I could make one of my ritual sprays again.

I don't actively keep these in my shop anymore, but if I still have the ingredients on hand, I'm always happy to accommodate requests like this.

Making this bottle again reminded me of the collection I used to offer:
• Lavender + White Sage
• Lavender + Rosemary + White Sage
• Palo Santo + White Sage
• Sweetgrass + White Sage

Sometimes products have a season. Sometimes they quietly find their way back.

If you've ever purchased something from Of Urth that you don't see anymore, feel free to ask. If I have the ingredients available, there's a good chance I can still make it for you.
