✨ Welcome to the The Wild Journal ✨

Every seed holds a story—and this is where we begin sharing ours with you. Welcome to the Wild Journal - the Wild Alchemy Botanicals blog: a space where botanical skincare, herbal wisdom, slow living, and the journey of motherhood come together in harmony.

At its heart, this blog is about more than beauty products. It’s about a lifestyle rooted in the rhythms of nature, the art of ritual, and the healing power of plants.

What You’ll Discover Here

✨ Botanical Skincare & Rituals
Learn how to weave plant-based remedies into your daily routines. From the skin-loving magic of Helichrysum italicum (Immortelle) to the soothing comfort of arnica or lavender, you’ll find ingredient spotlights and skincare practices that bring intention and nourishment to everyday self-care.

🌿 Motherhood & Slow Living
As a mother, I know the balance it takes to nurture a family while carving out moments of care for yourself. Here, I’ll share reflections on slow living—finding presence in the chaos, simplifying daily rhythms, and creating rituals that anchor both mother and child.

🍵 Food as Medicine
Our kitchen is as much an apothecary as it is a gathering place. You’ll find seasonal recipes, herbal teas, and nourishing blends designed to support wellness from the inside out. From postpartum tonics to immune-supporting brews, we’ll explore the age-old truth that food is medicine.

🌸 Behind the Scenes at Wild Alchemy
A glimpse into our small-batch apothecary and our family’s homestead on Vancouver Island. I’ll share the plants we’re tending, the traditions that inspire us, and the values that shape every product we create. You’ll also find reflections on building a small-batch, women-led business rooted in integrity and care, and the deeper why behind each tea blend, serum, or salve we offer.

Our Promise to You

Each post will be written with the same care and integrity we pour into our skincare and teas. This is a space for inspiration, education, and connection—a place where you’ll always be reminded that nature provides everything we need, when we take the time to listen.

We’re so grateful you’re here at the very beginning. May these words invite you to slow down, sip deeply, nourish yourself well, and reconnect with the beauty of the natural world.

With warmth & gratitude,

Jessica
Founder, Wild Alchemy Botanicals
