About

 All my life I've been a herbalist.  I was the lil girl intuitively making mud pies and combining bits and pieces of plant materials to concoct "potpourris".  Ultimately, I embraced my path and pursued formal training & certifications, leveling up to Master Herbalist.  I really enjoy learning and growing my craft, so I'm continuing my education with additional herbal immersion programs.  I enjoy cultivating and nurturing plants and understanding how to use their parts to support a healthier human existence.  When we are healthy, we are more likely to experience happiness.  My herbal offerings include lip balms, body butter, extracts/tinctures, scrubs and so much more to come including tea blends and salves.

In 2012 I began Usui Reiki training, achieving a Master Teacher certification in 2013.  Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety.  Reiki helped me shift out of dark places into a life of joy.  My partner, Randy, also joined me in Reiki training so we're able to work together for a particularly powerful energy experience.  Life-force energy flows through us like blood and blocked or unbalanced energy causes "dis-ease"; rebalancing our systems allows the body to return to a natural state of health and well being, including experiencing happiness.  While Reiki works on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, it isn't technically religious, making it a great compliment to all walks of life.  We offer Reiki energy work for people, animals, plants, places and events.  

Perennial Happiness sprang from a commitment to myself to understand and explore what happiness meant and how it is lived.  A yoking of my interest in psychology with my naturalist side bore some interesting connections.  For me, happiness is an experience, and also a frame for which I experience life.  Considering, perennials are plants that return after dormancy during the winter.  Combining the two brought me powerful imagery - if happiness would behave like plants and be self-renewing, always rebounding, finding a way to flow through life; now that would be beautiful.  This business represents my expression of perennial happiness.

Through this platform, I seek ways to help others tap into their happiness, and ease the subtle barriers preventing us from experiencing happiness.  What can help you feel even just 10% more comfortable?  That is enough space to start to invite in a bit more happy in your life.  Sometimes it's as simple as the blissful feeling of glossy balm on parched lips or soothing body butter on life-hardened skin.
