When Anxiety & Uncertainty Is High…

Posted on November 5, 2024February 20, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

We Need Support & The Plants Can Help!

Before Anything Else- when icky feelings set in, don’t fight them, let them flow & BREATHE. Taking some long slow inhales & exhales- especially longer exhales to help us feel grounded and let those feelings move through us in their own time & their own way. I love ESSENTIAL OILS to utilize for enhancing breath & connecting breath with mantra for calm. Here are some DIY ideas below:

Hello Nettle Goodbye Matcha…

Posted on October 29, 2024February 20, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

Indulging is great once in awhile, but I began to feel the matcha becoming a crutch to my energy & clarity of mind… and then I remembered hey… there’s an herb for that! NETTLE.

Inviting Change

Posted on February 3, 2022February 20, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

This is such an important factor in the health & healing field. When I launched my biz as Lion’s Tooth Herbals in 2006, my catch phrase was “You Are Your Own Best Healer.” And it’s the truth. No one can heal you- TRULY heal you, but yourself. Yes, you can seek out professional advice, be given drugs or herbs or surgeries, but YOU are responsible for taking care yourself & creating the lasting change of health. There are no quick fixes that last. The lifelong work is always ours to choose over & over again, and always worth while when we decide to choose it.

Why Don’t We Prioritize Ourselves FIRST?

Posted on August 26, 2021February 20, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

Why is it so hard to choose ourselves first?

I felt this way pre-motherhood, but I’m feeling it even more now.

I always feel ‘better” when I’m productive, ie; I’ve cleaned the house, meal prepped, returned emails, sent a newsletter or posted to IG, did laundry, worked on classes, cooked dinner, worked on a podcast, made some client blends…
Any of this sound like taking care of myself- directly? Nope.

Who’s Afraid Of Mercury Retrograde?

Posted on March 9, 2019March 9, 2019by Jupiter's Labyrinth

The planet Mercury officially went retrograde on March 5th 2019 and all I’ve been seeing on social media are Mercury Retrograde Memes like these: SO MUCH DRAMA! And I get it. Before I really understood Mercury retrograde, I was pretty freaked too. And yes, if you’re unaware of the energies of Mercury when it’s retrograde, […]

Prayers Instead Of Curses

Posted on February 6, 2019March 19, 2020by Jupiter's Labyrinth

Feeling wronged, betrayed, abandoned, hurt, rejected, discriminated against, judged, criticized or even violated… life brings us lots of situations, traumas & people who are just downright unpleasant. They are horrible to experience, and more often than not, they are hard to let go of. Things can fester. We hold on to beliefs about situations & […]

When In Doubt… Listen

Posted on February 6, 2019March 19, 2020by Jupiter's Labyrinth

In every single session I’ve had with a client, one practice is brought up time and time again…. Meditation. Wait! Stop! Before you say to yourself “I’ve heard this before… I can’t meditate, I tried.. OR Meditation is for hippies or I fall asleep, or I’m not Buddhist”… or any other excuse your mind is […]

Sleep. It Does A Body Good.

Posted on April 27, 2018April 27, 2018by Jupiter's Labyrinth

As much as you might hate to hear it, you need to sleep. We all, as human beings need to sleep. Without it, we’ll literally perish. Since I’ve heard many of my friends, family & clients mentioning their sleep woes lately, I thought I’d share some of my favorite “good sleep” tips here. Eat Dinner […]

Don’t Worry, No One Has Their $hit Together.

Posted on March 20, 2018March 21, 2018by Jupiter's Labyrinth

I’m sorry but it’s just the truth. Life is filled with ups & downs, blessings and challenges and no one can have it ALL FIGURED OUT, all of the time. It’s just plain impossible. How could we grow & evolve in life, if the metaphorical waves didn’t capsize us once in awhile? But “Where is […]
