Small batches, always
We blend in quantities we can finish quickly. It costs more and it sells out sometimes. It also means nothing sits in a warehouse losing the thing you bought it for.
Debbie Simon, Holistic Life Coach
Most people arrive here having already tried everything.
The diet. The supplement. The app. The class they stopped going to. Something helped for a while, and then it didn't.
Each of those aimed at a symptom. The symptom was never the problem.
A word from Debbie
It is not because you lack discipline.
If that sounds familiar, I want to say the obvious thing first: each of those solutions was aimed at a symptom, and the symptom was never the problem.
My work is holistic health coaching, and what that means in practice is simple to say and slow to do. We look for the root cause of the imbalance or the chronic disorder, and we work from there. Not the tiredness itself, but what keeps producing it. The goal is not a better week. It is balance, calm and vitality that hold.
Which is why everything in this house starts with a conversation, not a purchase. The first consultation costs nothing, membership costs nothing, and nobody here needs you to book five sessions to find out whether one would have helped.
Come with the questions you are tired of asking. We will start there.
Where most of this work happens
The Women's Support Group.
Trauma that was never named as trauma. Someone you loved who died, last month or eleven years ago. A diagnosis, yours or somebody else's. Caring for a person who is not going to get better. Most of the women in this room are not falling apart on the outside. They are simply tired of carrying it on their own.
The group meets in person and online, in small numbers, and nobody is made to speak before they are ready. It starts with a private conversation with me, at no cost.
What the group isWhere would you like to begin
Two doors. One philosophy.
Some people come to us for an hour on the table. Others come for the jar they will reach for every morning for the next three months. Most, eventually, come for both.
Door one
The Practice
Massage, yoga, meditation, life coaching and iTeraCare. Sessions are held
one at a time, in a room kept quiet on purpose. Read what each one involves,
then ask for the time that suits you.

Door two
The Apothecary
Teas, essential oils, salves, tinctures, candles and crystals, blended and
poured in small batches, then sent out by hand. Everything here is meant to
be used, not admired on a shelf.
Shop the collection
What we hold to
Four rules we do not bend.
One person at a time
Sessions are not stacked back to back. There is room before and after, so nobody is ushered out of a room they only just settled into.
Plain about what things do
We will tell you what a blend contains and what it is traditionally used for. We will not promise you a cure, and we will say so when something is outside our scope.
Nothing good gets thrown away
The vintage room is not decoration. A well-made object that has already lasted fifty years deserves another fifty rather than a landfill.
The full house
Every modality, and where to read about it.
Each one has its own page with what happens in the room, how long it takes and who it is not for. Where the price is fixed, it is on the page; where it depends on you, we set it in the free consultation.
From the shelves this week
The things people come back for.
I came in for one massage because my shoulder hurt. I left with a tea I now make every night without thinking about it. Six months later I am not sure which one of the two actually fixed the sleeping.
The vintage room
Objects that already survived their first fifty years.
Clocks, mirrors, ceramics, lighting, jewellery and textiles. Found one at a time, listed one at a time. Every piece here is the only one of itself.
Free membership
The part of the house nobody is charged for.
Membership here costs nothing. No card, no monthly fee, no tier to climb. There is a long table, a kettle that is almost always on, and no expectation that you buy anything to sit at it.
A quiet corner to work or read, no minimum spend
Ask a practitioner a question before committing to a session
Small gatherings and guided evenings, announced by WhatsApp
First consultation included, whether or not you ever book a session
Training Program
For the ones who would rather learn to do it themselves.
Not everyone who comes here wants to be treated. Some want to understand the plants, the reasoning and the method well enough to use them at home, or to take them into their own practice. That is what the training is for.
Herbal Remedies classes
Places by message
How the plants are chosen, prepared and combined: teas, tinctures, salves and oils. And, just as importantly, when not to reach for one.
Join the waitlistMaster class
Places by message
A deeper session for people already working in wellbeing, or for anyone who finished the classes and wants to go further than the shelf.
Join the waitlistDates, format and fee go to the waitlist first. Asking to be on it costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Start where it is easiest
Start with a conversation, not a purchase.
The first consultation is free. We look at what is actually going on, and then say honestly which door we would pick for you, including when the answer is neither.
