Healing Roots- About Me

Kia Ora, 

 

My name is Zarah Joy and I am a reiki practitioner and studying medical herbalist, devoted to holistic health and well-being. I have been in Reiki practice for 5 years and am on a continuous journey of studying herbal medicine and other healing modalities from the approach of vitalism.

Healing Roots is an extension of my heart, to love, and offer my service to those that I can. My products are intended to bring nourishment and support through the use of healthy, natural ingredients. I want to help people to be aware of exactly what they choose to place in and on their bodies.

Healing myself and inspiring others to heal and take care of themselves is what I feel I've been called to do now and ever since I can remember. I'm not at all claiming I am healed, and that I will heal you. But I do love to look deep and I like to take my time. I'm thorough and passionate and I love connection. 

I don't believe healing is linear, nor is there anywhere to get to. To be in full acceptance of what is whilst building the tools I have available to me is something I aspire and work towards every day. Then, to share and maybe inspire people who connect to the things I am sharing and the way I choose to live.

Shedding the obligations to meet certain standards within society, and releasing ourselves from the large brands and corporations that call our attention, only to blind and hurt us more. Deciding when enough is enough and treating our vessels with the reverence they deserve, for we are expressions of divine consciousness. 

I try to live by the guidance of Papatuanuku (The Earth Mother), listening to what calls my attention. Respecting, loving, and learning to coexist with the parts of myself that I might sometimes want to change. Accepting that life is a complex journey of discovery. A constant space of reflection and an opportunity to look within, to tend to our wounds and heal them with grace. To me, a life filled with conscious ritual and presence is healing. We are the creators of our lives and with this perspective, I believe we can live in harmony with ourselves and all beings.

This is why Healing Roots has birthed from the brightest space in my being, the place of space in which everything grows. Take comfort and pause knowing that when I am making these products I have these intentions in mind. Intentions to support your journey, to encourage you to slow down, to be present, and to receive love.

Each batch is handcrafted by me, to you.

Will you tend to your inner garden with me?
