My name is Brooke Marie Bridges. I am a Mother of 2, an herbalist, a farmer, a chef, a former preschool teacher, and a lover of natural, holistic ways of healing.
I started this work when I was 16 years old, wondering how to solve my own mental health challenges like anxiety, panic attacks, and negative coping mechanisms. I began to explore what it meant to be a human in this world, and started exploring different modalities of healing.
From talk therapy, to cognitive behavioral therapy, to a career as a personal chef and nutritionist, to a fitness influencer, and eventually to a homesteading herbalist who understood the value of hiking barefoot and looking up at the tree canopy; I have a passion for switching out toxic products and side-effect laden medicines with nature's gifts, and sharing what I learn, as I learn it, with everyone.
My work as an herbalist, Somatic cognitive behavioral coach, chef, nutritionist, and Earth listener was born from my own needs when I wanted to get pregnant with my first child, only to find out my hormones were out of whack, likely from the skin and hair care products I was using.
I fixed my hormones through handcrafting my own botanical remedies, connecting with the Earth, and continuing to do the inner work I needed to expand.
I now teach young people and adults alike about the holistic healing modalities that took me from strung out and on medication, to learning real ways to rewire my brain, cultivate gratitude, and make life-changing shifts in behavior and emotional wellness.
