Giovanna Marie

Just one woman, on a mission to share knowledge and a love for nature with others through my healing, all natural, wildcrafted, home and handmade essential oils and infusion oil based products. I am a passionate ethnobotanist, an ecology and herbology researcher, a wilderness explorer and a crafter of natural-materials. Living along the coast of California from Big Sur through Santa Cruz and up to Marin.

My products are based on the use of local and wild plants whose leaves, branches, twigs, flowers and oils are beneficial to the body, and whose scent is capturing of place, a benefit to the spirit. My plants are collected with my own hands from California's coastal cliffs, forest groves and high sierra mountain peaks and valleys. My essential oils and hydrosols are created with my hand-hammered copper distiller through steam-distillation method. My infusion oils are created using both cold and heated herbal infusion methods. These special oils are combined and blended with other organic base-ingredients to create products that are made in small, fresh batches, all natural, no chemicals, no preservatives. Healthy for the body and soul.

I have come to understand that our world is fragile, ancient and wise. Nature’s knowledge and the ability to truly thrive is available for harvest by all who have open hearts and minds, as well as the love of learning. I believe that the road toward positive social and ecological and environmental change in today’s world need only start with the decision to begin living our lives in simple and innovative ways, inspired by nature’s patterns, and with every decision and action moving toward the betterment and preservation of all living things.
