Hi there Reader, I come to you today with a grateful heart, humble greetings, and some sad and unexpected news to share.

It is with gratitude for the past, sadness in the present, and curiosity and excitement for the future that I announce - Wild Heart Herb House at Haskell Gardens will be closing at the end...

Last week I sent you an email saying that we were going to be closed on Wednesdays for a while, the main reason being that I would be harvesting herbs to make medicine with, but seeing as its raining today and I am unable to do said task, the shop will be open! I will be at Wild Heart Herb House today 12-5. Open the rest of the week regular hours as well: Thursday and Friday 12-5, Saturday 10-3. Also! So happy to share with you a Sound Healing in the Spiral Garden Series with Caroline DeCosta...

Hello my friends, I'm having a weird summer so far. I was going to sit down and write this email in my usual chipper cheerful Nico style but that's not how I'm feeling at the moment. If you've visited the shop in the past couple weeks you may have noticed that my vibes have been off. It is absolutely NOTHING PERSONAL, just a reflection of my current inner world and I'm not a person who is able to put on a fake happy face. There is a transition happening in my life that is outside of my...

Hi there Reader! Self care practices ebb and flow, wax and wane, shift with the time of year. The seasons have different joys and challenges. There are times when I feel myself being pulled into an unbalanced state (mid June to mid July is a classic stressful time for me) and I realize that the hot weather has stopped me from drinking my nourishing tonic herbal infusions (aka herbal tea), something that always keeps me feeling balanced and grounded. But here's the thing, a simple tweak is all...

Happy summertime Reader! It's my birthday and I'll have a tea sale if I want to! I'll probably cry too lol why are birthday's so emotional?! I don't subscribe to dreading birthdays or feeling bad about getting older, I actually love it! I feel more and more myself as each year passes and that my friend is an absolute GIFT. Unraveling a lifetime of conditioning to become the authentic ME. So what is it then? Is it the marking of time? Feeling like every year is shorter than the last? Watching...

Hi Reader! I taught my first herbalism class in the summer of 2018 (I can't believe I've been doing this for 8 years already!) and it was really fun and immensely satisfying. My friend Jenny and I got together with 15 others in one of our favorite local cafe's to talk about summer skin care + to make some skin nourishing herbal products. Everyone, including myself, left feeling invigorated + empowered, excited about all of the wonderful healing options available when you welcome plants and...
