Don't just take it from us… Here's what students Don't just take it from us… Here's what students are saying after stepping into the Botanical Resins & Gums Course. Many come in already working with plants, herbs, or natural aromatics, and leave with a whole new relationship to some of the richest, most storied botanicals in existence. Inside, you'll learn to make resin-infused oils, salves, tinctures, natural perfumes, and incense — plus exciting things like cordials and liniments — all from ethically sourced ancient resins (and even some raw resins you can often source right in your own backyard). Lifetime access means you can move at your own pace and return to the material anytime. ✨ P.S. The course is open now at a discounted rate (but only for a few more days!). Price goes up April 14 at 10 pm PST. 🌲 Link in bio to explore and join. #resincourse #aromaticresin #diynatural #herbalfirstaid #resincraftingcourse #holistichealing
There's a certain kind of confidence that comes fr There's a certain kind of confidence that comes from making your own remedies… from taking something straight from the earth and transforming it into medicine with your own hands. Maybe not everything, but at least enough to care for the small, everyday things. Enough to create preparations you understand, keep your home herbal apothecary stocked, and feel less dependent on mass-produced products. When you make your own remedies, you know exactly what’s in them (and why). There are no fillers, no synthetic fragrances, no mystery additives… Just clean, intentional materials and botanicals you’ve chosen yourself. It really changes the way you relate to what you’re using. Resins are one of the most versatile (and underappreciated) plant materials you can work with. Oils, salves, tinctures, incense, perfume, first aid... the uses go on and on. And sometimes… they’re growing right in your own backyard. 🌳 There's something magical that happens when you collect resin from a tree in your own neighborhood (one you've walked past a hundred times), and then turn it into medicine. The natural world around you stops being a backdrop and starts being a partner. ✨ I've been working with plants for 15+ years, and resins are still something I reach for again and again, for everything from ritual work to healing. If you've been curious about working with resins but don't know where to start, I built the Botanical Resins & Gums Course for exactly that reason. If you feel drawn to this path, come explore it with us. 🌱 Learn more about the course at the link in bio.

In my early 20s, I melted my first chunk of Franki In my early 20s, I melted my first chunk of Frankincense over a charcoal disc… and my life was forever changed. I didn't fully understand it then, but I had just been handed a key to an entirely different way of working with the natural world. As I learned how to craft resins into medicinal and aromatic preparations, I realized I was tapping into something ancient; substances that healers, mystics, and herbalists had revered and revered for thousands of years. And once you understand how to work with them, they become one of the most powerful and versatile tools in your practice. Through my work with Higher Mind Incense and the Northwest School of Aromatic Medicine, I've watched beginners face the same roadblocks time and again. A few essential basics can turn these complex substances from a frustrating struggle into one of the most enjoyable and rewarding skills you'll ever develop. With over 15 years of experience (and countless resin-stained aprons to show for it), I created The Botanical Resins & Gums Course – after years of being asked to share this knowledge. This course covers every aspect of resins across aromatic and medicinal practices, so you can explore this craft as deeply as you want. Inside this 5-module program, you'll learn how to work with resins from raw material to finished preparation: 🌿 Foundations of resins & gums: their history, properties & how they behave 🌿 Practical application: ritual uses, therapeutic benefits & sustainable sourcing 🌿 Topical preparations: making oils, salves, balms & more 🌿 Internal preparations: creating tinctures, liniments & cordials 🌿 Aromatics & perfumery: crafting incense, natural perfumes & blends Plus, lifetime access to move at your own pace & return anytime. 🌲 Learn more at the link in bio. ✨ P.S. Tonight I'm hosting a FREE webinar: The Medicinal Uses of Plant Resins at 4 pm PST. I'll be diving into some of the most popular incense resins, sharing expert tips for using them in remedies & aromatic creations, sustainable sourcing & more.
