Herbal tea and astrology — guidance through life's thresholds

Apothecary Cabinet Consult

A working apothecary for your household, big or small.

Most of us have a cabinet full of half-used bottles and good intentions. In this 30–45 minute consult, we'll build a home apothecary that actually works for your household: one that's stocked, practical, and ready when you need it, not just pretty on a shelf.

We'll look at what comes up most in your home, like colds, sleep, stress, digestion, and aches, along with who you're caring for, how you like to take your herbs, and your budget. This isn't about replacing modern medicine. It's a thoughtful, complementary toolkit that works alongside it.

You'll leave with a personalized plan for what to stock, why, and where to find it.

$125

Add-on: In-Home Cabinet Refresh, +$35

Already have an apothecary? I'll come to you and go through what you've got: what's still good, what's missing, and what can go. Available with the consult only.

Gatherings

Intentional gatherings allow us to build a special moment to hold space for each other. When we gather with shared intention, our hearts begin to sink and real connection becomes possible. The botanical world offers another magical layer to our community, one of knowing and support both in big and little ways. I am grateful you are considering plant wonder and whimsy as part of your next event.

LeAnna Cargman herbalist and astrologer

Meet LeAnna - Evolutionary Astrologer and Certified Herbalist

I help women move through perimenopause and life's big thresholds, drawing on three years of clinical consultation work, herbal medicine, and a deep reading of their own patterns.

Astrology was my first love. Mapping energetic patterns eased my social anxiety and brought color to my world. Everyone told me it wasn't a "real job," so in the '90s I read every book I could find and haunted the few metaphysical shops around. Then I somehow landed at the Omega Institute, found a home in its library, and discovered Jan Spiller and Robert Hand. Astrology could be a real job. Soon after, I moved to Hawaii and apprenticed with a professional astrologer. I've since interpreted hundreds of charts.

Herbalism was my second love, and astrology, being a real team player, didn't get jealous. She made space. I completed a 2,100-hour herbal immersion with the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine and 500 hours of astro-herbalism with the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. For the past three years, I've held consultations in a functional medicine office, supporting clients through hormonal shifts, gut health, and the same perimenopause changes I've walked through myself.

My work weaves together functional wellness, Appalachian herbalism, and twenty years of astrology practice. I look at your chart alongside your sleep, eating habits, stress, and other health signals, then help you make small shifts that fit into your life and add up to big changes.
