EP:19 Healing Through Plants & Ritual with Jamie

In this episode, I sit down with Jamie, a maker, healer, and founder of The Everyday Empathecary, whose journey bridges art, energy work, and plant medicine. From her early experiments blending oils and herbs for friends, to creating the Magic Salve and tattoo care line that’s become a staple in our community, Jamie’s story is one of devotion, intuition, and deep reverence for the healing power of plants.

She shares how ritual and Reiki shape her process, why crafting salves feels like meditation, and how growing passionflower in her backyard became a cornerstone of her healing recipes. We talk about stepping into fear as a catalyst for inspiration, building a business from the ground up, and redefining skincare as an act of self-love, earth connection, and sacred care.

In this episode we talk about:
✨ Moving through fear and trusting inspiration on the creative path
✨ The story behind the Magic Salve and how it became a community game changer
✨ Why making medicine is a ritual of intention, energy, and prayer
✨ Plant allies like hemp, arnica, and passionflower and their powerful roles in healing
✨ Creating products that work across skin care, wound care, and tattoo healing
✨ How seasonal shifts inspire subtle changes in her recipes
✨ Building The Everyday Empathecary into a business while staying true to its sacred roots
✨ The expansion into oils, scrubs, and bath salts for deeper self-care practices
✨ The challenges and joys of sharing her medicine beyond her inner circle
✨ Tattooing as sacred space and how it connects to plant medicine and ritual

Jamie reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be complicated; it can be a jar of earth medicine, lovingly crafted, ready to meet you where you are. Her work is an invitation to slow down, receive the wisdom of plants, and remember that care for the body is care for the spirit.
