Finding Wholeness Through Balance.
Welcome to Bloom.
Herbal Care | Energy Work | Community Events
I’m Abby, your friendly neighborhood herbalist.
In my free time, you can find me gardening, writing folklore inspired by deep dives into plants and their phytochemistry, and spending time with people I adore.
I’m a research nerd with deep spiritual roots, and I’ve spent a lot of my life carefully observing the things I’m most curious about—nature, energy, psychology, spirituality, and the interesting ways they all overlap and affect us as humans in physical bodies. I thoroughly enjoy looking at things from multiple angles and finding ways to turn what I learn into something useful for myself and others.
More than anything, I love being someone people can trust when life feels complicated. I love getting to know people, understanding what matters to them, and helping them find clarity, steadiness, and boatloads on boatloads of hope.
We’ll look at your health within the context of your whole life and create a practical, holistic plan you can actually use.

For death, rebirth, and life after rot.
Beauty Way is a delicious, rooibos-based blend for your heart.
A key herb is this blend is hawthorn, and its folklore goes deep, but my favorite little tidbit to talk about is that it was a remedy used for the black death because of its affinity for clearing out what was putrid.
This tea has brought me more vibrant skin, a less agitated nervous system, better digestion, and has also walked me through many miniature deaths and rebirths. This tea is crafted to help you walk the Beauty Way, seeing beauty in all things. Deep, but gentle and comforting, Beauty Way tea is a daily companion especially anyone who’s navigating a life transition, whether it be joyous or not-so. It’s also for those who just really like a good blend centered around the ever-so-gorgeous rooibos.
Preparation instructions:
Pour boiled (~190°) water over a generous Tbsp (or more) to taste. Steep covered for 10-15 minutes. This tea’s flavor really comes out once it’s cooled from piping hot. I like to strain, and let it rest to a comfortably warm temperature before enjoying. Bonus, that gives you time to set your intentions and speak your affirmations into the cup.
For the racing mind, anxious stomach, and restless soul.
My best-selling tincture!
This tincture is a thoughtfully crafted blend of herbs formulated to support relaxation, ease anxiety, and encourage restful sleep. Originally created to address sleep challenges during perimenopause, the blend has since been refined to support a wider range of sleep, anxiety, and relaxation concerns.
The blend includes passionflower, linden, lavender, catnip, lemon balm, and California poppy, which work together to calm the mind and prepare the body for rest. All herbs used are organic, extracted at specific ratios as simples, and then combined into a synergystic bottle of goodness.
Avg abv: ~55%
Directions:
Take 20-30 drops diluted in ~2oz of water 30 minutes before bed to support rest. Repeat after 30 minutes if necessary. Small (3-5 drops) doses directly under the tongue repeated every 15 minutes may aid restlessness. Can cause drowsiness. Please use caution if using during the day or before driving.
It is always wise to consult your doctor before using new herbal products.
A gentle, pure, fragrant mist made simply from the steam distillation of rosemary, which is a plant long celebrated as the herb of remembrance for its ability to awaken the mind and sharpen focus.

A simple, natural, aromatic way to revive your senses and restore clarity whenever you need it.
Great for helping professionals and energy workers. Wonderful as a part of your yoga or meditation practice.
This is a lot like a certain famous hot sauce… We put it on everything. I first made this salve as a diaper cream, and ever since, my husband has been a believer in the power of herbs. We used this on our son, and he didn’t have a single diaper rash the whole time he was in diapers. I didn’t know that was possible! The healing power of calendula—not only for cuts and scrapes, but also for eczema, dry or cracked skin, and even as a protective non-toxic barrier cream for baby bums! A true bestseller, and long-time favorite of mine. Comes in a great reusable 2oz glass tin.
Straightforward and simple: double-infused calendula sunflower oil, (local when possible) beeswax, and organic coconut oil.
Directions:
Apply to any external area that needs skin-soothing properties. Gentle enough for sensitive areas.
Use calendula salve with caution if you have allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family. Avoid applying to deep or open wounds, and consult a healthcare provider before using if you are scheduled for surgery. Always patch-test first if you have sensitive skin.
Bitter to the tongue; sweet for the soul.
This blend of 6 herbs (burdock root, artichoke leaf, orange peel, dandelion root, ginger root, and gentian root) was formulated to support the function of your liver and promote efficient digestion, and soothe gut-related skin concerns.
Your liver does so much for you; give ‘er some support!
Directions: Shake well before each use. Take 1-2 droppersful 10-15 minutes before each meal to stoke the digestive fire. May also be used at the onset of indigestion, gas, or bloating. Use up to 6 times a day.

For your spaghetti noodle thoughts.
I formulated this blend for me and my own unmedicated ADHD. I remember standing in the doorway of my bedroom, crying to my husband: “It’s like there’s a bowl of spaghetti in my brain, and the noodles are all thought trains. I can’t reach up and grab any of them because they’re all tangled and moving way too fast!” Blended for clarity and focus, it includes bacopa, hawthorn berries, linden, rhodiola, and rosemary to support a calmer, more centered mind.
Less of a quick fix for acute moments and more so designed to be taken regularly, working gently over time to ease brain fog and promote sustained mental clarity. Safe for longer-term use, it’s a grounding companion for those seeking to untangle the chaos and find focus. For me, I expect noticeable results in about 3-7 days when using regularly.
This is also a stellar companion for any yoga, meditation, or otherwise contemplative practice.
Directions: Take 1 dropperful 2-3 times a day with a meal to promote mental clarity. Always consult your doctor before using new herbal products!
