I study herbal medicine. My journey into herbalism began during one of the hardest health chapters of my life. I started spending time in the garden and walking through the forrest with my baby, and quietly noticing the plants around me.
In these moments something shifted, I felt a deep sense of belonging and a quiet knowing that I was where I was supposed to be. I had to follow that pull, which lead me to study herbalism.
Prunella vulgaris- aka commonly know as "self heal", was the first plant I had experienced.

What sets me apart
I don't cut corners or chase trends.
Every product is made slowly, honouring traditional herbal wisdom and the natural rhythms of the plants.
I work in small hand crafted batches, using whole plant matter, recognising the plants full gift that nothing is wasted, and that every part is valued.
Never rushed and always made with healing intentions.

Products
At Self Heal Apothecary every product begins with the plant.
I grow the majority of the organic herbs in the Peregian Beach community gardens, tending each plant by hand and harvesting in rhythm with the seasons.
When I can't grow the herbs myself, I source them from small scale, generational Australian herb farmers who share the commitment to quality and sustainability.

Respects and Acknowledgement
Self Heal Apothecary deeply honours the wisdom and sacred traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Straight islander communities, their Elders, and ancestral custodians of this land, past, present, and emerging.
In the spirit of reverence and connection, Self Heal Apothecary humbly seeks guidance and permission from the plant spirit and ancestral guardians when wildcrafting, attuning to the living rhythms of creation.
Plants are apart of the Dreaming, they have their own song cycle, they are not apart of Country, they ARE Country.
