"It often feels as though the soft breeze is whispering in my ear, beckoning me towards wild meadows and overgrown gardens. Places where I feel most at home."
Toxin-Free Please
Here at Bloem, we grow our herbs from seed or root lovingly shared, and gather from the woods, streams and meadows. We forage sustainably. Where we can't grow or gather, we acquire from organic farmers. We infuse and press these herbs according to the their rhythms and phases of the moon, allowing them to steep for several weeks or even months.
Anointing our skin with herb infused oil is as old as time. Preservatives came in when little bottles needed to sit on shelves for months and years before being slathered on skin. Fragrances were added to mask oil rancidity and emulsifiers added to make the creamiest of lotions. Our skin became another carrier of toxic load, baring upon our liver and immune systems.
Simple herbal infusions are not lost. They remain, right here, outside your back door and under your feet. Look down and notice the green you stand on, the flower that beckons, the leaves that shimmer.
Our Mission
I want to empower you. I want to show you the mysteries that lay waiting at your door and provide safe, simple, small batch botanicals for peace of mind and body.
As a practitioner, I work to support health through the mind, body and spirit; finding the issues in the tissues and gently making room for them to shift. Check here for more info.
As a member of The United Plant Savers, we also work to protect at-risk plants that are often over harvested for their medicinal uses or impacted by agricultural practices. We work with small, seasonal batches as the land provides.
Join us. Be a part of something powerful and empowering. Listen to that whisper in the long grass.

our story
Wanting to sit in fields of flowers or wander through rows of overgrown gardens is a natural pull, a yearning so deep it feels as though the soft breeze is whispering to us and beckoning us to come closer.
Infusing flowers and leafs in sun warmed oil and anointing our skin with it's luxuriousness is as old as time. Preservatives came in when little bottles needed to sit on shelves for months and years at a time before being slathered on unsuspecting bodies. Fragrances added to mask oil rancidity, emulsifiers to make the creamiest of lotions and our skin became another carrier of toxic load, baring upon our liver and immune system.
