Picture an old white farmhouse rooted amid gardens and trees, a rusting school bus and workshops. A U-shaped driveway directs you straight back to the place you came from, should you carry with you the scent of city and speed. For in this old house live stories of seas and herbs and manifestations.
Here is where she plants and grows, harvests and wild forages. Here is where she infuses and concocts, distills and mixes. Here is where she heals and soothes, enlivens and prevents. Here is where she bottles and packages, promotes and sells. Here is where she lives and works and mothers—in an old farmhouse that she dreamed into being 22 years ago.
“My boys were starting to complain of tasting soap on their toast and essential oils in their juice.”
“It kind of felt like we were beating the system ... and herbalism was a part of all that somehow!”

This old bus
When I first started making herbal products, in the mid '90's I lived in this old bus. I lived off the grid with a huge garden on a large beautiful acreage. I loved it. I was hardier back then so I could handle the cold winters and the hauling of water for dishes and baths. There just seemed to be more time to keep life simple. Panacea was developed out of a love of growing and harvesting nature's herbal bounty. I love how the earth provides its inhabitants with exactly what we need to stay healthy in body, mind and soul. The only thing she asks in return is that we humans stay healthy, as this is the only way we will survive but even if we don't, the earth will adapt and carry on with or without us.
