In the apothecary shop, you'll find a fresh batch of herbal salves, vagus nerve oils, tea blends, flower essences, and a wide variety of bulk dried herbs. I am also on hand to answer questions.

Flower essence blends, handcrafted here in Waco, TX. 🌸

Flower essences are a gentle, traditional practice used for emotional support and to work on an energetic level. I am a trained flower essence practitioner who blends each essence based on my training and the desired intention. Each bottle is personally blended by me and comes with an instruction card.

Swipe to meet them.

🌸 Relaxation: for unwinding when that feels hard

🌸 Calmness: for a settled, steady feeling

🌸 Stress: for full plates and long days

🌸 Grief: for tender seasons of loss

🌸 Self-Love: for being a little kinder to yourself

🌸 Courage: for the next brave step

🌸 Boundaries: for finding your "no" and keeping it kind

🌸 Resilience: for bending without breaking

🌸 Clarity: for sorting your thoughts

🌸 Wisdom: for a quiet look at the bigger picture

🌸 Vitality: for a brighter, livelier day

Find all of these at the apothecary shop or on Etsy. Link in bio.

A common question I get is, "How do I learn more about herbs?" The short answer is always by spending time in relationship with the plants, followed by books.

These are a few of my favorites.

I do not sell books or have a link. I recommend buying any books you can from your favorite local independent bookstore.

Occasionally, I do thin my library and have a few used books on the shelves in the shop.

Once or twice a month, I send out a newsletter. I share a little plant wisdom, usually something inspirational, a tea blend, and announce events and workshops.

It's just another way to connect, and I'd love you to join the newsletter list if this speaks to you.

Before bottled sodas, people drank switchels and shrubs: fruit, herbs, spices, honey, and vinegar, sipped on porches or around the dinner table. 🍎

Join me Wednesday, November 18, for Sip Something Wild: Mocktails & Switchels for Fall. While Central Texas is still holding on to its warm days, a tart, spiced, chilled drink feels right at home.

Here’s what the evening looks like:
🌼 A little history of these old American drinks
🌼 Tasting several seasonal mocktails I’ve made just for the evening
🌼 Making one together, start to finish
🌼 Taking home your own mocktail mix, plus a recipe handout so you can make more

No experience needed, and all supplies are provided. Come solo or bring a friend.

📍 Wild Thistle Herbs & Alchemy, Waco
🗓️ Wednesday, November 18 | 6:00 to 8:30 PM
🎟️ $34 | Ages 18+
