I grew up moving — from city to city, country to country, across South America.
I didn't grow up surrounded by herbs or the old knowledge of plants. But I was always drawn to nature. To trees, especially. I loved climbing them, and I still do. There is something in a tree — something rooted and ancient — that always felt like home to me.
As we moved, we traveled. Long car journeys to visit family, sometimes fifteen or sixteen hours through the night. And on those trips, the moon was always with me. My quiet companion through the dark. I was young enough to believe she was watching over me. I am old enough now to still believe it.
In my early twenties I started traveling alone, and something in me began to open. On one of those trips, a young woman I had just met listened to me carefully — really listened — and then handed me a book: Women Who Run with Wolves. It reached something I hadn't known needed reaching. A natural self. An intuitive one.
Some years later I found myself in the Scottish Highlands, and that was when everything came together. The herbs. The old knowledge. The feeling of living in real relationship with the land. What had been a thread running through my whole life became, finally, a path.
That path led here. To Moss & Lore.
— The Apothecary
What the apothecary stands for
Three things that guide everything made here
Rooted in knowledge
Every guide is carefully researched. Traditional uses cross-referenced with what we know today. Nothing vague, nothing invented — just honest, useful information about the plants.
Made with intention
Slow-made, carefully designed. The guides are meant to be beautiful enough to keep on the shelf, useful enough to reach for every week. Intentional living starts with what you surround yourself with.
Honest & approachable
Herbalism doesn't require a degree or a special background. It requires curiosity, patience and good information. Everything here is written for real people, at whatever stage they're at.
The apothecary was never just a place to store remedies — it was a place to store knowledge, patience and care. That is what I am trying to build here.Moss & Lore
