About

About Our Products

We stock only the highest quality plants and natural preparations available. After all, a medicine can only be as powerful as the starting material.  A plant or fungi is best utilised as fresh, alive and as untouched by the hand of man or machine as possible. This helps to capture and preserve the life force from the living organism; the spirit of the plant. It is through this life force that the healing wisdom is transmitted.

 

We focus on community-minded projects, to cultivate sustainable relating.

Some of our products are wild foraged or locally grown. When we source herbs from overseas we make sure they are coming from Indigenous communities directly, supporting community based projects, and are organic, seasonal and sustainable. We use whole & fresh plant extractions where-ever possible as there are often many beneficial components to a plant that are compromised when standardised & isolated.

 

The spirit of the plant is more accessible in a digestible, yet raw form. This is the ethos of our products. A balance between removing any interference between plant & person, and delivering a potent supportive medicine.

Healing is our journey, and nature is our guide.

 

This dispensary is an Earth Medicine treasure trove. We are so grateful to work with these plants, and trust  that these medicines will help your spirit to come alive so that you may live a life on purpose.

I live with my little family, growing plants, making herbal extracts, and reimagining culture. My work is rooted in reciprocity — I believe that to receive value in this world, we must give value. I bring my full presence, heart, and capacity to the work that I offer. I am a Western Herbal Medicine therapist, bodyworker, rites of passage facilitator, forager, medicine maker, and musician. I support people in healing and transformation, using nature, relationship, and ritual as tools for reconnection.

Everything I create is grown from the ground up — medicine, music, ceremony, and education, all interwoven through my own healing journey with plants and the Earth.

I have a very personal relationship with many of the world’s most mystical plant teachers. Having grown and prepared many of them from seed to medicine over the last 13 years, I have been learning not just from books, but from direct relationship: sitting with medicinal plants alone, in silence and listening. I am ready to share the body of work that has been cultivating over this time.

I’ve been initiated into the Bwiti sect Mabanji, a living feminine lineage from Gabon that works with the plant teacher Iboga as a sacrament of transition and embodiment. This plant informs a lot of my work as a strong ally. My path in ethnobotany has taken me to Indigenous communities around the world, learning how they use plant spirits, music, and trance states as guides for healing and integration.

In the jungles of Gabon I rooted in deeply with the guidance of a Pygmean lineage of Iboga. In the Andean highlands I met San Pedro and Peru’s jungle medicine Mama Ayahuasca and Kambocito. In the Himalayas I encountered the wild spirit of Cannabis. In the Sierra Mazateca I learned from the El Niño mushrooms, Salvia Divinorum, Peyotl, and the spirit of Mezcal. In the Swiss Alps I met with Artemisia and Absinthium. And in the vast Australian bush I’ve journeyed with the wisdom of the Acacias.

These are not simply plants — they are intelligent, relational beings. Much of what they offer can’t be written, and the deepest teachings are often meant to be kept quietly within. But from this depth my work is informed— to help rehabilitate our culture’s relationship with medicine, with the land, and with ourselves. To remember the sacred kinship between the human and the more-than-human world.

I live and work on Gumbaynggirr Country (Bellingen, Mid North Coast NSW) and online. My offerings are anchored in my formal training in Western Herbal Medicine and ZenThai Shiatsu, supported by a dispensary of rare and sacred plants.
