Herbalist, botanist, ethnobotanist, gardener, chef, alchemist

Nature and being outside playing in my gardens is one of my life's greatest pleasures~giving me solace as well as physical exercise. The opportunity to slow down and use my body wisely. From an early age I planted and tended gardens for myself and others. As my love and respect grew, my exploration of plants and their qualities continued through landscaping, floral design and using plants as medicine. I went on to study ethnobotany which looks at various cultures and their interactions with plants. There is a generosity in plants that provides us with food, medicine, clothing, housing, beauty, clean air and well being. This exploration led me to using and making more varied products with the plants I grew. And so Terra Flora Botanicals was born.

I have (literally) worked from the ground up to develop each product. Using the freshest, well sourced ingredients makes a big difference in skin care. You can feel the life force of these plant ingredients. It has made a big difference in my skin as well as my diet and health. The oils, flowers and scents used all have healing properties that our bodies recognize as nourishment. The fragrance, texture and feeling on your body and the effect of these on your peace of mind are the goals of my creations. I hope you will enjoy using them as much as I enjoy making them.
