The Very Cherry Summer Market at The Cherry Pit is a free, all ages event happening Monday July 24th from 5-10PM at 2518 E.

Why would you get an intuitive reading? If you are feeling stuck, feeling “off”, having sleep disturbances, needing some wisdom on an issue (to name a few reasons) - you can ask a couple of questions and we can ask for spirit guidance which may be verbal, through oracle cards and possibly recommending some herbal remedies (as an example).
There will be no online sign-up for the readings, but if you’d like to sign-up ahead of time, feel free to message me!

In my acupuncture private practice, a lot of people are seeking help with hormonal balance and cycle healing. What causes imbalance to our system in this way? Constitution, physical & emotional traumas to the body, environment and diet are just a few reasons that we can experience imbalances with our hormones & cycles. Some symptoms of hormone imbalance could look like an irregular cycle (early or late), heavy or light cycle, acne, abnormal bleeding, abnormal cramping, missed periods, headaches and PMS. If you are struggling with any of these symptoms, it is important to look at your menstrual cycle and see if any balancing can be done there to help with hormonal health! In this class we will talk about common cycle-related imbalances and a handful of herbs to help you with symptoms related to an abnormal menstrual cycle. My hope at the end of the class is that you will have a better understanding of what a healthy cycle looks like, a few herbs that can help ease symptoms and ideas for treatment options for you.
This class will be offered on Zoom and is sliding scale with a suggested donation of $15-30. Once you purchase a ticket, I will hold your spot and send out the Zoom link and handout the day of! There are no refunds for this class.

As we head into the winter, it may be a good idea to clear out the old and organize your herbal medicine cabinet! When we start our herbalism journey, it’s very exciting to make everything or start collecting a lot of herbal concoctions, but what is actually useful to have on hand? There are a few staple things that are always good to have around: herbal body oils, topicals for pain & injury, herbs for immunity, herbs for stress & sleep just to name a few. There are also things every herbalist should have in their apothecary cupboards for easy straining, bottling and storing!
