From plant to potion
Every blend begins in the earth and is transformed through intention, process, & precision.
Meet my still
This is where the transformation happens. Through steam distillation, I capture and isolate the most active and aromatic components of the plant.
As the vapor from this process cools, it naturally separates into two forms:
Essential oils are the potent, concentrated oil-based compounds
Hydrosols are gentler water-based compounds
I use both to create balanced, intentional blends that capture the plant’s strength as well as its softness.
Whole plants
Not all remedies come in liquid form. Teas and capsules offer another way to experience the healing compounds from plants.
Some people prefer the ritual of tea. Others want something quick and consistent. Neither is better, it’s about what works for you.
Whether infused in water or taken whole, the intention remains the same.
Every formulation is created with the idea that every body is unique and your remedies should be too.
Extraction
Some plants prefer a slower release of their medicine. Extraction draws the plant compounds out slowly over time, which allows for a more complete chemistry.
First, I formulate a blend of herbs based on the intention behind my work.
Next, I make a menstruum, which is a balanced blend of solvents to pull water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds from my herbal mixture.
The result is a tincture, a concentrated liquid extract that can be taken in small, daily doses.
