Rise

When a plant begins to appear abundantly in my garden, I take it as a gentle invitation to get to know it more deeply.
 
To learn from it.
 
To work with it.
 
That's exactly how my relationship with Self- heal began last year. 
 
At the heart of Rise is this beautiful little wildflower that quietly appears throughout the garden each summer. Often overlooked, Self- heal has been treasured in traditional folk herbalism for centuries. I love that its name reminds us of the remarkable ability of the body to recover when given time, nourishment and rest.
 
For me, it speaks so beautifully to the postpartum journey.
 
Not because we're trying to "bounce back" but because, little by little, we begin to find our feet again. We rediscover our strenght. We grow into this new version of ourselves. 
 
Alongside Self- heal is Rosemary, a wonderfully aromatic herb that has long been associated with clarity, vitality and remembrance in both herbal tradition and folklore. Just a small amount brings warmth, brightness and a gentle lift to the blend.
 
With nourishing Nettle and Red raspberry leaf completing the infusion, Rise is a blend I created to reach for as I gently start finding my rhythm again.
 
To me, Rise isn't about having more energy or doing more.
 
It's about recognising the quiet strenght that has been there all along.
