The seeds that started my journey…
Through the years, I’ve tried to ease stress through a variety of creative outlets. Slowly, my love of creating, the pull towards nature, and this deep passion for learning started to intertwine. Eventually my path led me to dig deeper into the natural world, and I signed up for my first herbal medicine course in 2020.
Nature was calling me home.

The meaning behind the name
Roots - While gardening didn’t call to me until later in life. I come from a family of women devoted to caring for growing things. I remember my great-grandmother, taking cuttings of a few different roses and rooting them in a tiny mossy spot next to her bedroom. They were incredibly delicate and she was very tender & patient with them, placing little sticks around the space to alert everyone that they were there.
She was fiercely protective of them, making space for something glorious to grow.
My mother still has one of those rose bushes - an aromatic legacy to take up space & protect the roots of your truest, wild self. Our roots are our place of safety and our energetic foundation.
In herbalism, plants like burdock, ginger, and dandelions are all roots that help bring us back to our center and balance our gut - in essence, balancing our whole selves.
And so began Roots…
Amber - Besides using amber bottles to store and protect most of my liquid concoctions, amber resin stones have protective energy and are known for their renewal & healing properties. They’re also related to the sacral chakra, which is right above the root chakra.
And so began Roots & Amber
