We Are Open! $18 Massages Celebrating our New Wellness Center!

Our new Wellness Center opened with a celebration night and a class on Intro to Herbs - Using Kitchen Spices, Weeds and Miraculous Healers! It was a packed house and we surely did appreciate seeing so many friends that came. To celebrate our opening, we are offering 30-Minute Massages for $18 (the best deal around)! Call 480-296-4699 to schedule your massage today.
We have a great space for classes, and a kitchen for blending essential oils or for making herbal medicine. The yard has space to create gardens, where we will grow, harvest, distill essential oils and harvest for herbals extracts and other projects. We will offer 1-hour classes on special interest topics beginning in the weeks ahead, which will include First Aid Naturally, Babies and Children, Women's Concerns Naturally, Using Clay for Healing, and much more.
Our team is here to serve you MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY from 9am-5pm. We want to provide a place of peace where you can come, even if it's just to be among people who will care, and even if you just want to sit on the patios or in the gardens (once they are growing). Jonique, Brenda and Jacque will answer your calls and questions, and will schedule you for therapies. Other therapists (providing Cranial Sacral, Emotional Balancing, Nutritional Bio Scans, Foot Detox, and more) bring their special gifts and sincere concern for your well-being and happiness!
We carry an assortment of premium health products that we have seen to bring health both physically and emotionally. We try to find the best products for the best prices, and we highly encourage you to learn about Healing Clay - which is only $6.50 per jar - and it helps with digestion imbalances, lack of minerals, bowel conditions, skin conditions, bites, and much more. Also we highly recommend Dead Sea Salts for health, and we sell it by the pound.

Millenial Wellness Education Center Opening August 3rd!

I'm so excited that all the months of hard physical work are paying off, and the little 60-year old home is almost totally remodeled and ready for me to hold classes, work with clients, and grow gardens to help students have hands-on experience with growing herbs, making herbal medicines, and distilling essential oils!

It has been a dream of mine for so long, and now I can share it with others! Thanks to my amazing husband, Rick, to our children and many others who have labored tirelessly to convert a home that was built before the Town of Gilbert built a road system. This little house has such a great spirit! It also doesn't have a disposal, so it produces compost.

We will built a chicken coop, because at this date, the Little Red Hen is at my home, tilling my gardens, fertilizing them, and eating my bugs. She LOVED the wheat that I had thrown into the garden, which grew and ripened into beautiful wheat stalks! She is a true blessing - even though she likes to fly over the garden fence and deposit her 20 daily poops onto the back porch. There is a reason for chicken coops!

LEVEL 3 ESSENTIAL OIL CLASSES BEGIN AUGUST 18TH, 2010 NEW CLASS SCHEDULE IS READY TO GO OUT!

BRENDA FLOWERS is my new assistant! She has made all the difference in being able to get classes scheduled, forms completed, and initial postings to the web and this blog! Our associate (my daughter) JONIQUE BEACH has a beautiful new baby girl, XELLY, and their family is no longer moving to California, so we will be working together again! Jonique has been so amazing to work with this past year, and I'm so glad that she can help with with all the technical things and build power points for my classes! Yes, it takes a team to do this - and we love it!

Our Level 3 ADVANCED AROMATHERAPIST classes begin on August 18th and will include Quantum Physics, learning to use amazing essential oils to help heal all the things below the atomic level - like negative emotions, thoughts that do not serve us, lack of spirituality and things that are missing from a full-functioning life! It will be an amazing series, covering therapies like using ESSENTIAL OILS with reflexology, iridology, Chinese Meridians, Chakra (spiritual body), Rapid Eye, AIR, and much more. YOU WILL LOVE THIS EMPOWERING SERIES!

Distilling Chamomile from My Organic Gardens

It was an exciting day to receive the Distiller that we had ordered quite some time ago! I was growing concerned as I watched the heat begin in Arizona, and worried that I would miss the Chamomile harvest. I had already harvested massively for my Herbal Calming and Uplifting formula, and it was nearly ready to be strained. However, I harvested a trial batch of Chamomile for my first distilling experience!

It was amazing to see the amount of Hydrosol that came off the plant in comparison to the few drops of Chamomile! During the distilling process the Blue Azulene forms and the essential oil is very distinctive to see, floating on top of the Hydrosol. I AM EXCITED TO TEACH ABOUT HYDROSOL, AS IT HASN'T BEEN PART OF MY CURRICULUM UP TO THIS POINT! You can surely know why a pure, organic German Chamomile (Magtricaria recutita) is so costly - and you can be assured that if you have a bottle that was less than $60 for 10 ml that you DO NOT HAVE A PURE ESSENTIAL OIL!

HARVESTING MESQUITE BEANS FOR FLOUR AND NUTRITION

Lori Olsen and I enjoyed our morning outing with the Phoenix Permaculture Guild to harvest Mesquite beans. Usually the beans are harvested in early June, but when we got to the location we found that our Spring in the desert was actually about 5 weeks delayed! I had noticed how wonderful this spring has been - with our first 100-110 degrees just hitting last week - but didn't realize how many weeks we had been gifted!

I scheduled a class on the Mesquite Trees (several varieties to understand) and an opportunity to gather the beans to be made into Protein Shakes, Flour and other recipes on July 17,2010 7-9am (Saturday). It will be hot, so bring water, hats and a container to gather the pods in. Lori will help me with the class if her schedule will allow! Happy Summer! Email me at botanicaleducation@gmail.com to let me know if you will be attending. This class counts towards required Experiential Learning for the Herbal modules.

RECOMMENDING KARA'S COOKING CLASSES!

I TOTALLY recommend Kara Bagley's online cooking classes - as well as her scheduled classes! Please check out her blog - and learn to cook healthy for your family (NOURISH = NURTURE):

I have spend the past days canning BEETS from my garden - as well as eating tomatoes and watching the summer squash grow bigger! It has been a season for gathering seeds for next year's crop (peas, cilantro, beets, chamomile, poppy, nasturtium, calendula, etc).

The recipe for Harvard Pickled Beets is:

Cook beets - skin them and cut into cubes

Boil together: 1 cup vinegar

1 cup water

1 c sugar

1 T salt

Add cubed beets and bring to boil.

Put into sterilized jars and steam process. Enjoy! My husband's favorite!
