A Tonic for Your Heart

Did you know that when you're a wee little starseed turning into a human, your brain & heart develop at the same time in the womb? I'll never forget learning that - it'll forever leave me in awe. I think it says so much about us as humans & how we thrive in this world, moving through it with a balance between logic & emotion. Perhaps it also gives us a clue as to how to care for ourselves when we have broken hearts & anxious minds. Forever woven together, we must nurture both to be well.

There's a list as long as my arm of things I do in the name of self-care (like therapy & bodywork), but one of my favourite simple rituals is herbal tea. When I found myself lying awake all night, steeped in the discomfort of pregnancy & a spiralling mind, I made this blend to nurture my body/mind/spirit.
