I openly declare that I am indisputably greedy at the banquet of life.
This is an expression that I use often. Over the years I have inhaled learning everything I can around the healing arts of Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and aromanutrition. I relish all the life-giving, health-supporting foods, herbs, spices, aromatic essences and super-foods. I have taken on multiple projects and businesses. My tendency to wanting it all, experiencing it all, expressing it all has led me to juggling too much all at once. This has often led to confusion, frustration, and overload. And that has at times derailed my deeper practices.
Can you relate? Great health, creative inspiration, financial success, transformational experiences, sublime love, spiritual enrichment, divine food, phenomenal skills, and actionable knowledge around your best practices so you can enjoy the freedom of your fulfilled desires.

We are more than the family we come from.
We are the alchemy of our ancestry.
We contain the same medicine, the blueprint of wholeness.
All one yet each unique.
Hello hello! Did you know that more than half of the kitchen herbs we know and love are in the mint family? These beloved aromatic plants are mostly used for aromatherapy, culinary, and medicinal purposes. They all have a beneficial action in calming the mind, soothing the central nervous system and aiding digestion. They are the exquisite and versatile members of the Lamiaceae family which has over 220 genera (genus) and around 7000 species.
Amongst the most commonly known and most used are mint, rosemary, marjoram, thyme, sage, lemon balm, lavender, oregano, and basil.
We are going to keep it simple and chat about the uplifting mentha variety. There are dozens of types from spearmint to chocolate mint to lavender mint and of course the well-loved peppermint. Menthol is found in peppermint but not in spearmint. The spearmint varieties are the ones we mostly cook with and the peppermints are used mostly in aromatherapy and for medicinal purposes because of the expansive and penetrating effects of the menthol.
