The apothecary shelves are beginning to fill!! 🌿

Today’s harvest: Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis).

Long treasured by herbalists for calming the nervous system, easing tension, and lifting heavy spirits, lemon balm has also been carried through folklore as an herb of joy, healing, and gentle protection. It’s said to invite peace wherever it’s grown.

This batch is destined for a few new Shadeflower tea blends coming this fall, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve been crafting.

May your cup become a small daily ritual that enriches your life.

I knew regrowing my raspberry patch at our new house would take time - certainly not enough berries to even make a jam this year, but next year is gonna be a banner crop! Look at all my lovely plants! At least I can still make tea though! So many beautiful, healthy, organic leaves to harvest and bring to your tea cups!

My ShopShadeflower (product) website is undergoing a re-imagining, but if you’re looking for delicious, homegrown, handpicked, delicious teas - hit me up! Choose from one of my tea blends or request a custom blend! 🫖

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who responded and helped me explore options for an external office space for the Reiki and tarot side of my business.

After some careful consideration, I’ve decided to make my home studio work instead! As I toured other spaces, I realized I was trying to recreate what I already have right here at home.

My dear husband, John, and wonderful friend Ali Hormann have been incredibly supportive in helping me bring this vision to life. I still need a few finishing touches—a cozy chair (lmk if you have one that you want to get rid of that would fit with the aesthetic - I love antiques and cozy!), a rug, some curtains for my glass doors, and a handful of other odds and ends—but I’m off to a great start and feeling excited about what’s taking shape.

Over the summer, I’ll be fine-tuning the space, updating my website, and setting up online scheduling. In the meantime, if you’re interested in Reiki, tarot, or a combination session, I’d love to hear from you! Xo 💕

P.S. also looking for a gently used reiki/massage table if anyone is looking to sell!

Since moving to North Oaks, I’ve gotten involved with a nonprofit called North Oaks Heart for Children. It’s a 100% volunteer-led group that started pretty organically — just a group of women who wanted to use their time and resources to give back in a meaningful way.

One of the things I love most about it is how intentional and hands-on it is. I’ve been helping with the website and design work through my business, Shadeflower Studios, as part of my Giving Garden Initiative.

We’re coming up on our Art with Heart event, and I wanted to share it here because it’s truly something special. Artists from across Minnesota will be showcasing their work, and one of the most meaningful pieces of the event is that each artist is creating a work inspired by art made by a child undergoing cancer treatment at Children’s Minnesota.

There will also be live demos and family-friendly activities, and all proceeds go directly to children’s cancer research at Children’s Minnesota.

If it sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love for you to come check it out. xo

I am so excited to announce the launch of Twin Cities Reiki Master’s redesigned website — designed by yours truly here at Shadeflower Studios.

This website was created to feel alive.

Every element was crafted with intention—from symbolic details woven quietly throughout the design, to subtle motion on each page that reflects the flow of energy, light, and connection at the heart of their work.

Rather than shouting for attention, the site invites you in. It breathes. It moves. It holds space.

Designing experiences like this—where story, symbolism, and usability meet—is a reminder that the web doesn’t have to feel sterile or rushed. It can feel human.

In some lighter community news 🩷

Alongside everything heavy happening right now, I wanted to share something hopeful on the horizon. The organization I volunteer with is gearing up for its first annual Art With Heart event this spring. I’ve had the honor of donating my graphic design and web work to help bring it to life.

Please mark your calendars and join us for a beautiful weekend of art, connection, and giving back — all in support of Children’s Cancer Research at Children’s Minnesota. 🩷
