Growing garlic in the winter

is surprisingly easy!

You don't need much space and it's low maintenance

#garlic is edible from the root to flower, so try planting some next time you find your store-bought garlic sprouting

You are not broken and you don't need saving Th

You are not broken
and you don't need saving

This is the foundational mindset of health

Your body is brilliant and is working for you day & night so you can feel, experience life, heal, get stronger and learn more

We are often told, whether directly or indirectly, that our mental and physical health problems are simply genetic, or normal (meaning common) and all we can do is attempt to suppress our symptoms and get on with life

But the story we are being sold is an advertisement for a solution, a "fix" that we can attain externally, from experts and isolated elements

When we go back to basics, our bodies simply need nutrients, sunlight, rest and affectionate touch - and when looking at the bigger picture, the body does the rest

Our capacity for healing is remarkable, it's millions of years in the making and unwellness is often a fertile, transformative space before another leap forward or deeper within

Your body is designed to keep you in balance and expresses symptoms AS SIGNALS to tell you to pay attention, to avoid harmful things (and people & ideas) and add missing needs

It will keep talking to you for decades, never losing hope that you will head it's advice

It's our job to shift blame from our amazing body to becoming detectives, learning how to listen to the clues it's giving us, how we can change and give it what it needs

Trust in our body is a tough journey but realizing that you are not broken is immensely liberating

We don't need to be saved from our bodies, in fact it's the opposite- we need to ally once again with this temporary gift, to go back home into our body

Replace shame & confusion with relearning intuition & trust

And you can have teachers, mentors and friends (starting with your own body) on your healing journey

Holistic healers can help you learn to listen to and communicate with your body again (remember a time before you doubted your body?), but they can not fix or save you, because you are not broken.

To last summer picking #blueberries

I bought some bloobs from the store today and was struck by how fancy that is, to buy fresh fruit in the middle of winter....perspective shift

While I don't want to import plastic packaged & out of season goods often, I'm grateful today for this treat of antioxidant rich #superfood bloobs

Exciting new all

I'm opening up 1 on 1 herbal consultations beyond my local area

If you don't know me, I've been on the holistic health path for over a decade, and one of the favorite parts of my calling is seeing others walk their own healing journey

Due to the transformational time of the last two years, which has been hard on many, I'm adding 50% off our initial consultation meetings until March. I remember struggling to find the right holistic practitioner years ago when I started my own healing journey, and I want to offer a chance to others who are looking to try something new with an accessible option

If you are ready to reinvent in yourself and your wellness goals, this is your sign

And tag someone who you think might benefit from meeting 1:1 with an #Herbalist

The leaves may be gone but medicine and plant identification markers remain

Here am squeezing a #cottonwood bud and mmm that resin smells amazing; like honey & the woods

Notice on the forth photo the difference between the tall tree bark and the young shoots and smaller branches bark

The decrepit leaf in the second photo shows the shape of the deciduous leaves; a round bottomed triangle

I only took one bud because I only take what I need and right now I still have a bit from last year and haven't needed this particular #herbalmedicine for myself or my clients in the last year

Many branches were knocked down by a storm, so harvesting those would be an ethical way to go about #gathering these #buds

It's also early in the season so I know where they are if I do need them (here they are near a stream SE of Portland, OR)

Question:
Have you ever smelled Cottonwood buds?

Sweat Pea (the one in back) is not thrilled with the snow, but they'll be just fine (they're a Plymouth rock variety which is cold hardy to 10 degrees)

We have made sure to seal gaps in their coop, apply a non-water based moisturizer on their combs and have added cayenne powder to their feed to support circulation
