This plant spirit meditation is a channel from the Passionflower. It is a great meditation to listen to before bed or when needing to drop into the body from the mind. Allow your body to get wrapped up in the cosmic vine of this delicious plant, deeply dropping the body into relaxation.

In this interview with Isabella de Credico, we get to hear of the experience of an herbalist who wears many hats. Isabella is an educator, teacher’s assistant, director’s assistant, and lab manager at The California School of Herbal Studies in Forestville, CA- where we had the pleasure of connecting. She also owns a visionary botanical product line- Dusk to Dawn Botanicals and is an herbal practitioner. It was so fun to talk with Isabella about the evolution of her journey as an herbalist, how she got to where she is now, and to receive a look into the lens of the many ways that one can have a career as an herbalist.

HAIR HEALING, SOVEREIGN BEAUTY, & WHISTLEBLOWING ESSENTIAL OILS with Arielle de Martinez

I am so excited to share this incredibly inspiring interview with Arielle de Martinez, folk herbalist and Hair Healer. For me, this was an exciting opportunity to not only continue my education as an herbalist, but to also be nourished in my own beauty and self care practices. We did a “Hair Healing Consultation” where she walked me through the best way to be “no poo” for my hair type- interweaving herbs into the conversation in many ways, shapes, and forms.

We also had an important conversation about Essential Oils and the harm that they cause the planet and our bodies. Arielle offers a free ebook on her website that touches on this topic deeper and offers tools to transition to a no E.O. home space.

Join me in this channeled Lavender Plant Spirit Meditation. Focusing on opening the crown chakra and bringing relaxing energy down through the entire body.

In this episode, I interviewed Breta Orth on her journey through cyclical living and the importance of honoring rest. Breta is a Cyclical Living + Embodiment Coach. She works closely with ritual and ceremony to weave the magic back into daily tasks. Her journey began when she was a young girl, but it wasn't until her early twenties that she started listening to Spirit's guidance. From there, life has unraveled and led her to study Yoga 500 RYT, the menstrual (moon) cycle and birth work. These areas of focus have helped paved the way for Spirit to weave into her life and be of service for Women. You can find her group mentorship programs, 1:1 coaching sessions, retreats and ceremonies at www.moonriseritual.com.

I enjoyed this conversation so much because it was truly medicine that I’ve been needing. Through the flow of our collective thoughts, I was able to move some stagnant energy within myself and my relationship with rest-- nesting into the feelings of giving myself permission.

In this episode, I share how my pregnancy is flowing- the ups and

downs! I take a little dive into my personal prenatal care routines

with some beloved herbal allies and different application methods.

Pregnancy is a bit of a grey area in herbalism which has encouraged my

relationship with my herbal allies to shift but is presenting

opportunity to deepen my relationship with plants that haven't been in

my regular routine.

I also share a list of books, herbs that are commonly suggested for

prenatal care, and even some herbs that I've been missing (due to them

being contraindicated.)

Episode 2 begins the dive into conversations of foundational and

applicable herbalism through the lens of water as a solvent. Water is

the universal solvent but how do herbs get alchemized into this life

giving substance?

I discuss some water soluble constituents and their most potent forms

of extraction, water based solvents such as teas (infusions and

decoctions), vinegar, honey, glycerin, as well as some fun and

delicious ways to play with water like juicing, preserving as ice

cubes, and herbal lattes.

I give so much gratitude to the water spirit for sharing wisdom and

for giving life.

Welcome to The Wise Wytch Wellness Podcast. In episode 1, I discuss my own journey of healing and wellness that ultimately lead me onto the path of herbalism. This is a vulnerable and personal story about being very lost in my early 20's that ultimately ended with me getting arrested and convicted of a felony (for a plant.) I also share about an accident that changed everything for my family and how all of these events lead me to a medicine ceremony where I met the love of my life. It was not an easy thing to open up about and reflect on but feels important to share my story of healing. We all have grief and trauma that needs tending and for me, plant medicine has been a major role in supporting my path of healing.

As this is just the introduction, more episodes filled with herbal goodness are on their way!
