Let’s Begin 👇🏼🌸
I am here to activate, inspire, repair, and help create a new path forward for mothers, birth workers, wild women and the next generation.
15 years ago I began my journey into motherhood where I deep dived into all things surrounding the childbearing year, herbal medicine, food therapy, and regenerative & holistic health. I became utterly fascinated with the human body, what makes it tick, the gr

I have got lilacs on my brain I tell ya! Everything in my yard is just bursting forth with life and beauty! It has rained the past few days which is such a blessing in any year, but after years of droughts and forest fires every drop feels like gold falling from the sky.
What I really truly love about this time of year is how being outside is such a treat for all the senses, and taking time to appreciate the beauty and unapologetic expression of nature and life.
The AUDACITY! 🙌🏽
It’s spending time like this immersed in nature and beauty that makes me ponder the question:
How do we create the conditions for a woman to stop merely surviving, and to really truly fill her well, plug her into a source that doesn’t extract from her, and watch her bloom and express and attract all the things that are meant for her.
This is what’s happening inside The Living Year. It’s not BS wellness (which is actually allopathy dressed up in herbs and supplements)
It’s tapping into something so much deeper and sustainable. 💓☀️⚡️

Are you at the point in life where the identities that once anchored you in your life feel less true? Where the ways you’ve been needed, seen, desired, and recognized all have shifted?
Me too.
Does your life feel f’n beige when you know there to be a deep, colourful version of it somewhere but you don’t know where it went?
I feel that. Mine did too.
Are you sick of every other post on this platform pushing some form of artificial alternative to “fix” you? I know, I’m over it too.
This midlife space is the Wild West! 🐎 I’m in it myself, and while I don’t have every single answer, I am a determined woman leading myself through this new landscape and I’ve picked up a few tools along the way. I would love to share what has helped me reorient, rewild, and rewire my life and upgrade the s**t that just wasn’t working anymore.
Come hang with me on May 28th at 12:00pm cst and we’ll chat. All the details are in the B 1 0 to register.
See ya there!

Body oiling is a non negotiable for me as we move into the dark season more every day. 🕯️There is something about connecting with myself and all the beautiful plants via the oils that make it such a better experience. This is part of what preventative, self-reliant health care looks like for me. The massage and lymphatic drainage I feel is especially important in the slower months when I’m less active.
So… How to Practice Body Oiling?
🌿Choose Your Oil: Select a natural oil like sesame, coconut, almond, or one of my herb infused high vibe oils! Try to choose an oil that would grow in the environment you live in.
🤲🏽Warm the Oil: Rub the oil in your hands to generate heat before applying it to your body. You could warm it in a pot on the stove but I personally feel for my daily practice it’s an unnecessary step.
💆🏽♀️Massage: Apply the oil in circular motions over the joints and long strokes along the limbs, working towards the heart. I start behind my ears and on my neck and work my way to my feet. 🦶 There are so many nerve endings on your ears, hands and feet so make sure you get those!
🪷Let It Absorb: Leave the oil on for at least 15-30 minutes to allow oil to deeply absorb. This is why I love doing this when my pores are open because my skin absorbs it so quickly. I have a robe I throw on afterwards so I don’t get oil everywhere, but it really does absorb quick!
That’s it! This creates a barrier that locks in moisture but also feels SUPER grounding to my nervous system. It really helps me unwind at the end of the day and set myself up for a good sleep. It helps stimulate blood circulation, reduces stress and muscle tension, encourages lymphatic drainage, and delivers nutrients to the skin!
I have a variety of herbal infused oils made from herbs I’ve grown in my garden or wild crafted available for you to experience! Comment NATURE below and I’ll send you over to my shop. You can use code NATURE at checkout for 15% off your order!
Cheers to your vibrant health! 🌿
