Mission
To use embodiment techniques and herbal medicine to help confront, understand and tend to the spectrum of emotional, mental, and physical obstacles that ail the body. With specialty in mood and stress disorders, trauma, and communication/self-expression.
Ewe, simply meaning “leaves” in Yoruba, is an herbal wellness service, education network and apothecary. Clients can expect one-on-one consultations for herbal products and protocols, educational resources and guidance, to help gain control of their own personal health and set a strong foundation for growth and overall wellbeing.
By bringing awareness to our daily habits and patterns, we can find opportunities to shift perspective and energy, change behavior and create space for more of the good things in life.

Tea is Universal. It’s a language.
When I was younger, I was drawn to tea because of how it made me feel—warm and safe. When I get sick, tea is relief—meaning that I can temporarily breathe and swallow without pain. When I wake up, tea is what I turn to for a good morning. It speaks so much to my background.
One of the first things you can expect in my home, when I am with my family, is for someone to be drinking tea, offering it and preparing it for themselves or someone else. Talking, sipping, thinking, waking, pausing. It always brings me back to myself. It is an unspoken language. It is a ritual.
~Look out for baked good pairings, tea parties and sip events

Herbal Guidance & Formulation
This is a 20 minute phone call where you can ask me questions about herbs, medicine making, books and resources, etc. I can make general suggestions for herbs (such as, for sleep or headaches) and help you formulate a blend for your needs. I will offer all of the information that I can but I do recommend that you do more research because not all herbs work in the same way for everyone. If you are on medications or have questions that go beyond this call, we may then need to schedule a full consultation so that I can take all of your personal details into account.
This call is a great opportunity to ask about product recommendations, get clarity as you get comfortable working with herbs and get privacy, if you have more personal concerns.

Consultations
Where to Start?
Consultations can happen through video chat or in-person. Prior to your first consultation, you’ll be asked to fill out an intake form. Together we will go over your intake form, addressing your traditional routines and lifestyle patterns. At the end of the consultation, I will have a few options for you to consider.
*A consultation includes the cost of the appointment as well as a more in-depth breakdown of suggestions (PDF) called a protocol. These alternatives can include herbal recommendations, recipes, books, podcasts, research, etc. Whatever may provide you more perspective, rounded solutions and further guidance from my toolkit.
