Herbalism is Folk medicine, the people's medicine and is accessible to all,  by inviting the plants and the weeds that are in our gardens, the hedgerows and the wild places, into our kitchens and into our medicine cupboard we are taking the wild into our bodies and drinking in the Earth's abundance.

Birthkeeping is to Honour the most sacred time for women.

Holding space for those who are entering the portal of motherhood with physical, emotional and spiritual nourishment. 

Herbal Consultations

I am trained in the Wise Woman Tradition of Healing where we view illness and dis-ease as an invitation to return to wholeness in the body, through deep nourishment and an open heart. I support you with deep listening and observation, recognising you as the healer whilst I hold your hand and gently guide you through the door.

 

I work with women through all seasons of life from menstruation, pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum, birth, miscarriage, abortion, seasoned motherhood, menopause and beyond. If you wish to receive deeper support with something you are moving through then I welcome you to book an Herbal consultation with me.​

The Apothecary Shop

  • All plants are grown organically in my little medicine garden or responsibly wildcrafted in reciprocity. Everything I create is made in small-batches seasonally and dependent on what is growing abundantly around me. 

New Arrivals

‘A culture that has lost its folk medicine or its ability to heal and cure everyday problems with every day materials, has a lost a part of its soul. There is something deeply sick about western culture. It we are to restore it to health, we need to restore its lost folk medicine soil.’  
- Matthew Wood

"I was blown away when I opened my order from Louise. The attention to detail and thoughtful gift made me cry. I was so grateful and I still am for the wonderful package with high quality herbs to make healing infusions to help my body after a miscarriage. The infusions are delightful and taste very nice. The amount was great and I was really pleased with how many infusions I would be able to make. Great attention to detail, great personal customer service and a very thoughtful and kind gift with the package. Thank you so much Louise xx"
