In partnership with

Dear Medicine Worker,

I know everyone is busy with the holidays. Honestly, I’m grateful for anyone who took the time even to open this newsletter, as I’m sure your inbox is absolutely flooded right now.

It is always a struggle for me to decide how often to post or write. Marketing is my least favorite part of this job. But, as one of my mentors once taught me, folks will not know about your services unless you tell them. The thing is, there is always a little part of me that feels like I am being annoying when I send out a newsletter. This is the people pleaser in me. It sounds like this… I’m here to help (if you want, but please don’t feel like you have to; in fact, don’t worry about it because I don’t want to bother you; I’ll just disappear now).

I’m sure many can relate. We were the ones who were maybe bullied as kids, or had difficult home lives, and so tried very hard not to draw attention to ourselves. The problem is that this survival strategy that served us when we were young now works against us. I absolutely cannot run a successful business without being seen. And the truth is, I have absolutely amazing services to offer. I love what I do, and I worked hard to develop the skills I have. But this hurdle is my healing work.

There is a common phrase among those of us in the healing arts… the wounded healer. We are all wounded. But our wounds are also where we find our gifts. When we do the healing work to overcome our own issues, we can then bring the path to healing that wound to others. I’m still working on this one. I’m bringing in the flower essence Mimulus for this fear of something known (being seen). I’m mothering that little girl who made herself small and letting her know that she can shine, it’s OK now. And I want to let you all know about these 3 offers that will expire with the New Year…

  1. Initial consultation packages for new clients are $50 off! But only until December 15th. Grab your consultation package now at the discounted price and book your first session with me anytime (even after the new year). Get the discounted package here.

  2. December is the last month to join my Patreon subscription, An Herbalist’s Journal, at the $1 a month tier. After the first of January, that option will go away. But everyone who signed up at that level will still continue to pay only $1 a month for all my past and present content about herbal medicine making on that platform.

  3. Registration is open now for my first Holistic Fibroid Workshop that runs January through March! I’m so excited to share information and support for folks navigating their fibroid journey. See all the details here.

I hope everyone finds the little moments of nurturing this season.

In good medicine,

April

Registration is open now for the Holistic Fibroid Workshop. We start right after the new year. If you have been looking for support on your fibroid healing journey, please join me for 3 months of learning and support. Click the image above for all the details.

Is this the cutest heating pad ever?

Meet the Menstruation Crustacean—the microwaveable, ultra-soothing lobster heating pad that brings major comfort and a little comic relief. Just pop this plush crustacean in the microwave and let its warm weight melt away period cramps, backaches, or any random aches life throws at you. Plus, it features a soothing lavender scent to boost your mood when it’s that time of the month. This little guy is hilarious and functional – the perfect Secret Santa gift or stocking stuffer for this holiday season! Check out the rest of the Menstruation Crustacean gang, too.

Over on Patreon…

My Patreon is where I share stories, thoughts, and sometimes classes about how I am working with the plant medicine in my own practice. Every month, I try to post at least one post that is free for everyone, and one or two posts for paid subscribers that go a little more in-depth about specific plants and how I work with them.

I started this Patreon page a few years ago because some of my students wanted to continue learning after our classes were over for the season. It is my way of sharing a window into my herbal practice to inspire your practice.

There are 3 subscription tiers to choose from, depending on your ability to pay. And you can also join as a free member and get immediate access to all past free posts!

The $1 a month subscription tier will be ending January 1st!
