Colleen Bell

I am a Natural Living, Organic Permaculture Earth Mother alchemist, Maker, multi-talented co-creator, Herbalist and flowerist, and practitioner of Heart based Spirituality with an entrepreneurial bent.

I AM a plant person. My earliest memories include various gardens and yards. I create lasting relationships with plants. I have used this love of plants, flowers, herbs and vegetables in many ways. I AM a life time student and love learning new things and making new things.

The company Earth Wisdom showcases products I have created over the years. I learned how to make herbal, natural Face Creams at Frontier Herb Fest in 1992. That led me to make creams & to help others make them. (Education degrees from Boise State University.) Then those students wanted to use creams I made. Which lead to sales.

Now when I see a need I create a product to fill it if possible. I study Herbology, Aromatherapy and the use of all kinds of cosmetic ingredients.

I am unique in that I utilize many levels of healing ingredients besides natural cosmetic oils. I use flower essences, gem elixirs and prayer for their subtle value.

Since starting that direction the line increased to include Herbal Salves & Balms, Aromatherapy Mists, Herbal Lip Balms, Organic Body Balms, Organic Bath Salts and other things that I like to make and think others would like too.

I live in an old farm house in Fairfield, Iowa on 1 acre landscaped with Permaculture edible landscaping and 4 season gardening. I love to make do with found objects and create useful things. I grow many herbs and flowers used in my products. We are studying Aquaculture to set up a system in the backyard.

I also do flowers arrangements, live whole raw food crisps and concoctions and sell plants and produce at the local farmers market.
