I set out to survive. Not start a business.

A story about postpartum reckoning and

building something real from the kitchen table.

The Journey

Harvest + Root began in the place between holding it all together and quietly falling apart.

After years of IVF, postpartum depletion, and the invisible unraveling of trying to keep moving while breaking inside, I couldn’t find care that met me.

Everything offered felt split in two: too clinical to touch my heart, too “spiritual” to settle my body. Nothing felt honest enough to hold me.

And it wasn’t just my body that was breaking. It was my mind. The anxiety that sat heavy in my chest. The depression that made me feel like I was dissolving. The question that kept echoing: Who am I now?

Mother. Partner. Woman. But in all of it, where was me? I felt myself vanishing.

Postpartum stripped me raw, pulling me out of myself. I felt isolated, untethered in my own skin. Surrounded, but unseen.

The Spark

So I started blending my own. Herbs. Oils. Sound.

Small bottles mixed at my kitchen table, not for beauty, not for branding, but because I needed something tangible to hold when everything inside felt like it was slipping away.

I found plants that steadied me. The oil that carried them. And infused it all with frequency, imprinting the unseen medicine.

They weren’t products. They were lifelines. Threads pulling me back into my own body, my own breath.

The Offering

That is what Harvest + Root carries forward.

This is not a brand built on aesthetics. It’s not another layer of pressure, another thing to “keep up with.”

It was born from lived experience, created for the ones carrying more than they can name.

  • For those on the edge of exhaustion, Grounded.

  • For sensitive sleepers and restless children, Twinkle.

  • For the nights when your body begs for deep rest, Drift.

For anyone tired of “just push through.” For the ones who’ve tried everything and still long for something real.

The Becoming

And slowly, they began to work.

Not because they promised a quick fix. Not because they demanded another appointment I didn’t have the energy for.

They worked because they met me where I was: in the mess, in the blur of sleepless nights, in the moments when the world was too much.

They gave me presence when I couldn’t find it myself.

The Declaration

I didn’t set out to build a brand.
I set out to survive.

Now Harvest + Root exists as an offering, a reminder that you deserve care without conditions.

Not perfection.
Not pressure.
Presence.
