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 (by request), 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 brought some interesting cross pollinations!  Perennial plants go dormant over a season to return again.  I loved the image of happiness behaving like a perennial plant.  As life's journey takes us through ups and downs, happiness ebbs and flows and has a capacity to build a perennial-like resiliency that aids in that natural rebounding.

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 great balm on parched lips.
