The Botanical Apothecary
Hello, I am SO pleased you found me, I am your one stop shop for a body in distress!
I have carefully created everything in here to help you feel better. Because ultimately I have spend a long time being someone who didn’t feel OK. And it's rubbish and life is short.
It's time to carve your space in this insane world. It's time for guiltless rest and deep stillness. It's time for you.
Let me show you how.
Retreats
Join me for one of my specialist retreats, where we will work to balance your energies - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
I run two or three retreats a year, but can also create bespoke group events tailored to your party's needs.
As a reiki master teacher in Usui Reiki and a practitioner of Seichem Reiki and Mary Magdalene Reiki, my retreats always include an element of reiki healing.
We'll also experience sound baths, breathwork, wild dipping, walks in nature, unreal community, gorgeous food and lots of fun. We truly nurture and heal your body, mind and soul from the minute we get our hands on you.
Get in touch to enquire about booking.
