Real holistic care sees beyond symptoms to the patterns underneath - where energy speaks, elements guide, and your body reveals what it truly needs.
Learn herbs from your couch (or ours)—join Herb of the Month on Zoom.
We had a great first month diving into cleavers, and we're excited to keep going! Every month, we spotlight one herb: its folklore and history, where and how to forage it (when appropriate), therapeutic benefits, medical contraindications, safe dosing, and different preparation methods. We'll also explore culinary uses, seasonal self-care rituals, and practical ways to bring it into your daily life. Each 90-minute class is live, laid-back, and packed with real info you can actually use.
You'll get a printable study guide plus invaluable information you can only learn from an experienced herbalist.
Here's how it works:
Pick a class.
Get your Zoom link and prep materials.
Join live on Zoom from home OR attend in person at Obsidian & Sage in Moline, IL.
Everyone gets the recording emailed after class.
Enroll in Herb of the Month and go from curious to confident. Build hands-on herbal skills, support your wellness naturally, and connect with folks who get it—whether you're on your couch or in the shop.
This class is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before using herbs, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition.
This space exists to explore wholeness - the living connections between body and spirit, earth and sky, plant and person. Holism isn't just a philosophy here; it's a practice woven through every post, whether we're tracing the language of astrology, learning the gifts of herbs, or discovering how ancient systems of healing speak to modern life.
Everything shared here is offered freely, with the intention that it reaches those who are seeking a more integrated way of understanding health, nature, and themselves.
But keeping this work alive takes time, energy, and resources. Web hosting, research materials, continued education, and the hours spent weaving these threads into something meaningful all require support.
If this holistic approach has nourished you - if it's helped you see the connections you were looking for, deepened your relationship with the natural world, or offered a framework for understanding yourself more fully - consider nourishing this work in return. Your contribution, no matter the size, helps keep the roots growing and the content flowing.
This is a labor of love, and your support makes it sustainable.
Thank you for being part of this living exchange.
Holistic Principles
Hi, I'm Brycee. I'm a holistic wellness coach, herbalist, and astrologer with over 20 years of experience weaving together the threads of mind, body, and spirit. My work is about asking the right questions so we can find the right answers - together. I guide people toward sustainable wellness by identifying patterns, building solid foundations, and empowering intentional decisions that last.
I offer personalized wellness consultations, monthly Herb of the Month classes, readings, and flower essence consultations as well as a dainty retail counter within Obsidian & Sage in Moline, IL. I also keep a weekly blog where I share holistic education rooted in herbalism, astro-herbalism, nutrition and plant wisdom.
This is not about quick fixes or dependency. This is about clarity, integrity, and real results. Let's build something that lasts.
