If you travel far enough, one day you will recognize yourself coming down the road to meet you and you will say yes.

Clary & Sage
When I look back to my childhood, my memories are filled with cutting and pasting, creating things with my hands, mixing plant medicines, wandering in the woods, playing by the shore, nursing hurt animals back to health and a deep spiritual connection to my Creator.
Discovering my own soul-tending and self-care tools came from revisiting these memories; they held the wisdom I needed to reconnect with my truest self.
Over the years, I've assembled a personal apothecary, of sorts. Like a spice cabinet, it contains different spices that I call on for different reasons. Some, like my journal, my deck of SoulCollage® cards, a select few essential oils and a handful of crystals, I use often. I've created a relationship with them and I consider them to be my trusted friends, or allies.
Clary Sage is one of those close allies. I know it best as an essential oil and over time, it has assisted me with finding clarity and vision in my life.
Sage is one of the few plants I have in my tiny herb garden (a generous description of what it actually is). A few plants have decided they enjoy the little patch of rocky, red clay I deposited them in several years ago. I've come to believe that if it's chosen to stay, it probably has some wisdom to share with me . . . you've certainly heard the terms "wise sage" and "sage wisdom."
And so, there you have it, Clary & Sage . . . clarity and wisdom.

Hey there! I'm Rebecca, the woman behind Clary & Sage and . . .
. . . I have a confession to make:
about ten years ago, I looked in the mirror and realized I had no idea who the woman looking back at me was.
Can you relate?
I bet you can.
I was overcommitted, overwhelmed and exhausted; I was a mess and I had no idea how I'd landed there because I'd been doing all the right things. Or at least, I thought I had.
At that point, I knew two things for sure. The first was that I had to make some huge changes and the second was a deep knowing that if I could find the right tools and teachers and mentors, I had the power to heal myself.
What I’ve found in my own healing journey is that so many of us women have forgotten how to tend our souls. We’re so busy taking care of everyone else that we end up with the dregs of ourselves for ourselves. I believe that if we're to truly live out our life’s purpose, it’s imperative that we learn how to tend our souls.
My greatest joy is to encourage women on their journeys back to their authentic selves to discover what nourishes them, what connects them and what makes them feel most fully alive. By combining SoulCollage®, aromatherapy, Reiki, journaling and the labyrinth, I sister with women to re-member who they are by reconnecting with their inner truth and wisdom.

My Wish for All of Us
Clarity and wisdom is my wish for all of us.
I know what it is to be depleted and overwhelmed in all the ways we find ourselves disconnected from our hearts these days.
I have experienced deep, transformative healing from intentional soul-tending and because of that, I feel an intense desire to invite and encourage other women in finding their own self-care practices. I sister with other women on their journeys back to themselves because finding the tools to reconnect with myself and tend my own soul have been the most important aspects of my own self-healing journey.
