Soulful Earth Herbals began from a journey of walking with plants, a passion for learning how to create personal products, and making simple herbal medicines without the use of chemicals or other potentially harmful ingredients. Soulful Earth Herbals is a connection between nature and the ability to listen to our body, then respond.<\/p>
My intimate connection with and understanding of Mother Earth began in my early 20’s.\u00a0 I also started using homeopathic remedies and alternative therapies to conventional medicines.\u00a0 Then in 1999 I grew a small herb garden that sparked a desire to learn more about the properties and uses of each plant. This expanded into an interest of making medicine and topical ointments to replace the commercial products I was currently using. The first lip balm I made was not real great, but it encouraged me to do better and keep working on a better formulation. I kept reading books, trying new recipes, and crushing up new herbs. When I ventured into making soaps and lotions, I was again disappointed with what I had made, but I learned from my mistakes, and kept making a better and better product.<\/p>
Early on I became a label reader and educated myself on the ingredients found in common personal care products (the ones you can\u2019t pronounce). I seemed to\u00a0have a feel for breaking a product down and figuring out how to make it\u00a0safe, but still effective. I loved to share the products I made and information I learned with friends and family.\u00a0 It became a joke because I was always saying, \u201cDon\u2019t buy that, I can make it!\u201d<\/p>

Eventually I started sharing my herbal diaper rash ointment with the natural birthing community through the Birth Center where I gave birth to my youngest son. Many people commented on how well the ointment worked for them so I began selling what would become known as \u2018Bohdi Balm\u2019 to more families in the natural birthing community. With this success, Soulful Earth Herbals was a bud ready to open in the spring of 2005.<\/p>
After strong encouragement from friends and huge support from family, in April of 2005 I found a space at the local year-round Lansing City Market and began to share Soulful Earth Herbals with the public. Guests started buying my products and I received a constant flow of praise. I was helping people heal and move away from commercial chemicals. Soulful Earth Herbals became real.\u00a0 I now sell at local Farmers Markets and have a permanent store front in historic REO Town in Lansing, Michigan.<\/p>

I formulate all Soulful Earth products and research all the raw materials I use to craft my products, trying to choose as many organic, sustainable, and wild-crafted ingredients as I can. Much of my time is still spent experimenting with different\u00a0ways to create new formulations. All Soulful Earth infusions are made with organic (and preferably wildcrafted) herbs. Just to be safe – No parabens or petrochemicals will be found in any Soulful Earth product!<\/p>
This has been an amazing journey and I continue to find many wonders on my path. I learn more each day about our resources and how to use them in a peaceful way for ourselves and the Earth we all share. I am forever grateful to all the people who have supported my journey and for the knowledge I have gained from those who have used Soulful Earth products. I look forward to continue learning and growing with all of you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
