Whole Hearted Kitchen grew out of my lifelong love of plants, traditional medicines, and the amazing science that connects them. When my family and I moved to Vernonia and became surrounded by nature, that quiet calling to learn more about herbs became impossible to ignore. I began researching, experimenting, and connecting with a wonderful circle of friends who share a deep passion for natural healing.

Every balm, oil, and soap I make is created using locally grown or responsibly wildcrafted herbs, always following organic practices and always with respect for the plants and the land. My approach centers on gentle, everyday support that nurtures the body and calms the spirit (though I’ll admit, that bug bite relief really does work fast!).

Whole Hearted Kitchen also reflects my love for nourishing through food. I craft gluten-free baked goods, like sourdough, breads, cakes and cookies, using organic ingredients whenever possible. For me, herbalism and baking are two sides of the same story: slow, thoughtful, and made with wholehearted care.

Every creation, whether balm or bread, is made to bring a little comfort, connection, and healing to those who use it.
