❀ Welcome! I am an artist AND a pelvic steam therapist / folk herbalist. I work with paint to make paintings, and plants to make plant medicine. I offer pelvic steaming support and advanced steam plans via a consultation process. These creative activities complement each other really well. Both plant medicine practices and making art are healing to my body and spirit. Both “tend the root” of all creativity, a connection between the pelvic organs, tissues, energies, and the heart organ and psyche. I occasionally offer words exploring these creative intentions in the journal space below. ❀
Folkways
I grow Santolina just for the smell, so I can brush by and release the fragrance and smell it with my ancestral nose, stirring something familiar. It makes me feel a stirring of some sort, a ‘powerful tugging’ connecting me to a past I’ll never know. Some details might arrive in a dream, or maybe they won’t…but the feeling is so strong I must have lived with this plant before!
