Hi. I'm Abby, Owner of Bloom Apothecary and Founder of Second Wave Hippies.

From as early as I can remember, I was talking to plants. The earliest memory of this I have is speaking with the honeysuckle bush next to my house when I was 5, whose spirit would return to me as an adult. To me—and maybe to you since you're here—the Earth has always felt alive and responsive. Life’s weight pulled me away from that connection for a time, as I navigated trauma loops, anxiety, depression, disconnection, and general burnout from living in late-stage capitalism as a highly sensitive person.

Trauma healing and energy work gave me a foothold out of my suffering, while studying Chinese Medicine and Vitalist herbalism reminded me of the Intelligence I had always felt, known, and loved in the plants. These traditions breathed fresh life into me, and my devotion to them has only grown over time.

Today, I share the medicine I've picked up along the way, guiding others on similar journeys—helping sensitive souls integrate their experiences with clarity and joy along the way.

In addition to 1:1 sessions, I teach Zero Point energy work and Reiki, lead group healing experiences and workshops, offer energy work for horses, and create custom herbal remedies, with a special interest in Shen tonics.

Reconnect with yourself and the world.

My Philosophy

Healing is remembering who we are beneath all the noise. It begins with right relationship with yourself, which allows you to then re-member your place in the interconnected web of Life with integrity and personal sovereignty. When you remember your wholeness, you reclaim your agency and create a life where that balance flows through you and out into the world for the greater good.

I call the approach I take Vital Earth Medicine. That is, a living blend of botanical healing, energy work, and integrative health practices, all informed by an earnest, ongoing study of functional medicine, Chinese Medicine, and neuroscience. Whether through hands-on energy sessions, custom herbal remedies, wellness consulting, or group experiences, this Vital Earth Medicine exists to help you embody the wholeness of your soul and live out whatever life it is your heart desires.
