The herbalist,
aromatherapist, business owner, and content creator behind Island Girl
Apothecary.
Becoming an herbalist was not the path I initially set out
on. My journey didn’t begin until before I became a mother to my son
Liam 7 years ago. While thinking about caring for this tiny human being,
I quickly found myself increasingly drawn to the world of medicinal
plants and holistic health for not only myself, but for my son too.
I found myself frustrated with my doctors
ignoring my body’s symptoms, while being on birth control &
antidepressants from a young age and relying on prescription pills for
my physical/mental illnesses and never getting to the root cause. All
for conditions that were better managed through proper nutrition and
supplementation! After taking control of my health, I started exploring
the remarkable world of herbs, nutrition, essential oils, supplements
& plant medicine. Through a combination of seeing a naturopathic
doctor, consuming natural remedies, nutritional improvements &
overall wellness lifestyle adjustments, I experienced a life changing
& transformative change in my life!!
This newfound passion for alternative medicine & holistic health
led me to pivot away from the traditional medical path and dive into the
world of holistic & whole body health. After completing various
herbalism & aromatherapy courses, I embarked on a mission to share
my knowledge and passion with others through social media. This desire
gave birth to my company, Island Girl Apothecary, which specializes in
expert-formulated herbal, aromatherapy, skincare & body care
products. At Island Girl Apothecary, our mission is to help individuals
maintain overall confidence within their body's functions, harnessing
the healing power of plant medicine to promote wellness and vitality.
With a deep love for herbalism and a commitment to holistic health, I'm
dedicated to empowering others on their journey toward better well-being
through the art, science, and wisdom of herbal medicine.
