Hi, I’m Sande. Your wild folk herbalist.

I am a celiac safe (gluten free) apothecary. My offerings are crafted with intention and a dash of humor. I started formulating for myself as I found it hard to find an apothecary that was celiac safe. I then started to formulate for my friends who also have autoimmune disorders.

After years of suffering from chronic illness, I started to look for alternative ways to heal myself and fell into love with herbalism. In 2015, I found out that I had Celiac disease. It was nice to finally have an answer as to why I was always so sick. This diagnosis led me to dive deeper into the world of herbalism and I became a folk herbalist in 2019.

I journeyed to Ireland for a 2 week immersive apprenticeship to herbal studies, and there I met my first plant ally: Wild Rose. Rose met me where I was at, welcomed me with a soft and velvet embrace and taught me about boundaries and how I should let down my guard and be more open with myself. It was in Ireland, and with my beloved Wild Rose, that I found my voice, and I will be forever grateful for the path that it has led me down ever since.

In 2021, I left the corporate world of accounting due to chronic health issues. I was sick more than not, and I was tired of not being able to do the things that I loved because I was too sick to leave the house.

My herbalist path has led me to want more change in my life towards a grounded and wild way of living. My goal is to help my community to meet themselves openly and honestly, just like I did with Wild Rose.

I would love to help you on your journey to find your authentic, whole, and wild self.
