“The dreams woven into our waking life are the ones typically thought of as the “intuitive dreams”. What I’m gathering now, is that any dream can be intuitive whether or not it’s experienced in the same iteration in our waking life. The duality of this existence is rooted in having varying experiences on multiple planes and learning to integrate them and receive wisdom from both.”

Read More“We tuck ourselves away a little bit more and warm our bellies. We catch glimmers of golden birch leaves flickering in the glow of crisp sunset. We are drawn to be with fire. We feel. We may grieve. We shed. We pray.”
Read More“There’s meaning to the colors and foods that choose to be available at this wheel of the year. We know eating more seasonally can be an easy and accessible way to connect your body to the land you’re on- but consider it’s also a way that you yourself can connect with your inner, emotional world too.”
Read More“We all experience a symphony of exquisite mountain peaks & deep, sometimes dark, echoing canyons; sometimes floating the in-between as our experiences etch upon our bodies. What I’ve learned is to give the canyons their purpose & praise, with as much belief as I do the peaks. To feel & say our stories aloud creates enough warmth & friction to be moved by them.”
Read More“Gardening is making art, learning science, uncovering history, looking at mathematics and fractals, learning about fungi webs and communication and tending to our mental health. There is an entire school system found in a garden with every subject studied through tangible experience… it is whole and ever changing as we are, feeding us from the ground up in return for our care and attention.”
Read More“Us humans are in the position most often of being either the decision makers or the followers with the other humans before us. In nature, as means to not disturb, we don’t veer, and instead follow where we’re supposed to (often for good reason to protect more wild lands). I do wonder, do we also allow ourselves to be pulled by the terrain within us and outside of us— the plant and the animal way? What about the animal within us?”
Read More“To be comfortable with the harvest (death) of plants, to the transformation and emergence from the the still (life), is to be curious by our own shedding. When we choose to invest in the things that make us resonant, that vibration creates the energy that transforms our life and those we share it with.”
Read More“Splashing cold water on our skin activates the vagus nerve to regulate and slow down. This gentle trigger allows the abdominal organs to then reset to a resting state, so for people that tense their bellies with nervous tension for all the various reasons, this is especially helpful. The sensation of a simple cold splash diverts the brain’s energy and attention away from a thinking state, leaving you more embodied into a feeling state, as it signals to the body to relax.”
Read More“Welcome Wildcare distillation house! It's through collecting fresh spring water, growing plants in our family garden, & working with our copper stills, that I feel whole, nourished & free with the blessing of my ancestors behind me and a life of joy ahead of me. For me, distilling feels like home.”
Read More“…the success of a body in joyous motion is greater than the success of a business in grand growth. This is a magical unfolding; a slow burning distillation of self. Wildcare/myself have been alchemized in the best way by this break thus far & I’m eager to share with you upon my return what’s on the horizon. I promise in all I do, it will always be heart-led, and this surely feels like an epic homecoming.”
Read More“I was recently asked to partake in an interview by a woman I absolutely love, ( more on that below ! ), in which the question prompted, "What has been your proudest moment in your career or personal life to date?" Here’s what I replied…”
Read More“Nobel prize winning physicist, Carlos Rubbia discovered that for every 1 part of matter, there are 1,000,000,000 parts of energy that created it. So why is the majority of skin health solely fixed on tending to the tangible matter rather than the unseen energy? If energy is an information superhighway, then starting there BEFORE touch is the biggest way to influence our own tangible matter, our skin. Here are a few ways I’m energetically practicing good flow; nurturing myself 1st, & letting my skin reflect that 2nd.”
Read More“I am committed to becoming undone in order to express myself out of love, through love, with grace in a way that is nourishing for myself and my children. How I become undone will be in a way that harmonizes with my body and being, season to season. I will continue to plant seeds and honor the mess of crackling shells and dirt and mud in order to create a healthy terrain for growth.”
Read More“With every ‘tap tap tap’ of the soil being moved by seeds, sap being circulated within a tree and cool dew drops trickling down a leaf, biomimicry is quite an effective way to tap into or re-engage with our skin too. During this seasonal transition, we tend to see more skin fluctuations due to an increase in physical movement, energy shifting in the liver, and emotions being stirred. Honey tapping is one of my favorite ways to integrate and awaken; creating rhythm and flow through our lymph pathways and invigorating the skin as we strengthen it. Read on to learn more about Honey Tapping!”
Read More“Consider when these dials need adjusting. Love + will can transform anything. Be bold, be vulnerable, be brave enough to call in resources if you feel stuck. Let your people in. Let your feelings out. Indulge in pleasure without guilt. Indulge in rest without judgement. Move your lymph by moving your body. Feed your body well and pay attention to feeding your mind well too. When you start to pay attention to YOU- the you that’s housed in your skin, your skin begins to transform with you.”
