rooted in reciprocity
about
Paige Emery
I was taught that the role of a medicine woman is a role that is given to you by your community. I am humbled by this lifelong path devoted to sharing the medicine of the plants in reciprocity with the Earth.
My practice weaves the holistic entanglement of clinical herbalism and ancestral medicine. Through clinical herbalism, the biophysical is addressed at a systemic level. Through ancestral medicine, the energetic, elemental and spiritual bodies are worked with in traditional ways passed down through ancestral lineages. My teachers include, among many, herbalists Rosemary Gladstar, Kat Maier and Sajah Popham, Babaylans in the Philippines, Curanderas in Mexico, and, most significantly, the plants themselves. Beyond sharing the healing properties of plants, my work foregrounds ways of being in relationship with the plants. The medicine of the plants works through our interconnectedness, where supporting bodily resilience and ecological consciousness helps us bring that healing back to the Earth.
Apothecary
We are in a crisis of sickness - the sickness of our bodies and the sickness of the Earth are intertwined - and the medicine is in the Earth.
Earth Medicine Apothecary offers herbal consultations and plant remedies intentionally crafted to aid the body, mind, and spirit. These plant remedies address the systemic roots of imbalances to be integrated into life for long-term, sustainable support. All plant remedies include plants that I have grown and harvested myself and all ingredients are organic. The medicine is cultivated in alignment with the cycles of the moon and the seasons. From seed to harvest to bottle, I work with the plants in reverence, reciprocity, and ceremony. The relationship with the plants makes all the difference in how their medicine is carried, and when I share these plant remedies, it is also relationship that is being shared.
Sacred Reciprocity
Earth Medicine Apothecary is rooted in sacred reciprocity with the Earth. I humbly work with the plants in reverence, responsibility, and regenerative practice, giving back to the Earth and honoring life through every part of my practice.
All plant remedies are made small-batch with local plants I have grown and harvested myself, any outsourced ingredients are from ethical and regenerative sources, all labels and packaging are as eco-friendly as possible. Earth Medicine Apothecary is dedicated to advocating for the practice of right relationship with the Earth.
Earth Medicine Apothecary cares about medicine being accessible. While the costs support the sustainability of this practice, there are sliding scale options for those in need.
Earth Medicine Apothecary acknowledges the Chumash traditional peoples of this land, and the responsibilities to these peoples and these sacred lands. I live and work on these ancestral lands with gratitude and commitment to truth, healing, and reconciliation of the indigenous peoples and stewardship of the land.
