There are times when the kind of “medicine” we need changes.
Sometimes it’s reflection. Sometimes it’s rest. Sometimes it’s a message that speaks to our soul. And sometimes, it’s something much simpler… something the earth has been offering all along.
Over the past several years, my soul has been quietly guiding me back…
Back to the garden.
Back to the body.
Back to the slow, honest rhythm of nature.
Back to the ancient power of plants.
What began as a whisper has unfolded into something so much deeper: a reconnection to the kind of medicine that meets you where you are… before your mind catches up.
Because sometimes, before we can focus on mindset or spirit, we need to begin with the body… with soothing what’s tired, restoring what’s tense, and nourishing what’s been overlooked.
Our bodies speak first, through fatigue, tension, restlessness, cravings for quiet or warmth.
They tell us when it’s time to slow down, to soften, to release the thoughts we’ve been clinging to. But too often, we override those messages with productivity or guilt.
This season, let yourself listen more deeply.
- Notice when your shoulders tense. When your breath catches. When your energy dips. Each sensation is a signal… a small invitation to return home to yourself.
That’s what inspired this unfolding of the next chapter of my work. It’s one that’s rooted in herbal medicine and the wisdom of the natural world. I went back to school and have been busy exploring new ways to help support the whole person in their journey toward balance and alignment.
Our home has been filled with herbs in various stages of creation and formulation. My daughter just shakes her head when she sees me surrounded by piles of herbal books as I’m elbow deep into countless jars of herbs or am geeking out with calculations for proper tincture dosage. But she sees how passion can light a fire in your heart, and that’s a good thing.
Because sometimes, we don’t need to “think” our way into balance; we need to feel our way there.
🌿 Lemon balm reminds us that peace begins in the nervous system and softens the edges of stress, inviting the heart to exhale.
🌿 Tulsi (holy basil) strengthens our inner resilience, helping us rise through the chaos with calm clarity.
🌿 Skullcap soothes the racing mind, easing the body into deeper states of rest and receptivity.
Each of these plants has been part of my own healing… and they now live within the tinctures, teas, salves, scrubs, soaps, and lip balms I’ve created with love and intention.
Each one is an invitation to come home to yourself… to remember that your body holds wisdom, your senses are sacred, and your healing doesn’t have to be rushed.
This next chapter feels like a weaving together of everything I’ve always believed: that true wellness happens when the body, mind, and spirit are tended to as one.
📣I’m so excited to share that these herbal creations are now available locally at Main Street Market in Jackson, marking the start of a new, embodied chapter in how I support healing.
If you’re local, I would love for you to stop to explore these offerings and feel the energy that’s gone into each creation.
Because true wellness isn’t just about changing your thoughts. It’s about honoring your body as sacred ground… a reflection of your soul’s wisdom, and your connection to the earth itself.
When we remember that, everything begins to align again.
Lots of love,
Krysti
P.S. If you’re not local to Jackson, stay tuned… I’m working on creating a store online so you can to experience these herbal creations soon. The same heartfelt intention and plant magic will soon be available to you, wherever you are.
