Hi,
I'm Kim Hayes.
-daughter, wife, mother, friend, and herbalist. I am an intricately woven soul who is passionate about faith filled living, learning and sharing.
I love country living, rusty antiques, foraging for wild herbs, gardening, backyard chickens and photography.
You can find me in the meadow or in the garden at Rose de Marie, sipping on the tea blend of the day. Come on over and sip with me for awhile.
My Mission
to create an inviting space for education, fellowship, encouragement and support while infusing herbalism into our lives to become a better steward of our mind, body, soul and Earth.
My Why
Herbalism is a way of life that facilitates a connection to the natural world, God's world. It is a way of life that bridges the gap between our modern-day living and the lifestyles of our ancestors. Herbalism is living holistically and embraces many aspects such as natural and cleaning living, whole foods nutrition, self-care, and lifestyle choices for health and wellness as well as caring for our planet. It is nourishing to the body and offers many opportunities for self-care. Herbalism is supportive. Herbalism is stewardship.
Through God’s word, I am reminded of just how fearfully and wonderfully made we are. He has provided us with everything we need to be whole in Christ. As an herbalist, I am feeling called to nurture my neighbors to become better stewards of their temple. This comes with a healthy connection between body, mind, soul, spirit and Earth. Following these principles allows me to minister to my neighbors about God’s love for us while supporting healing processes. I pray for God to continue to bless me along this journey. I hope you find the information I share to be helpful.
