Hello there and a very warm welcome to you! I’m Vanessa.

I’m the dreamer, adventurer and medicine maker behind Halloweald Wellness & Heart, a line of handcrafted, small-batch herbal remedies for physical health and spiritual & emotional well-being.

It is my desire to help others empower themselves with a holistic approach to healing through the use of plant remedies and ritualized self-care, because I believe holistic healing is the foundational first step towards achieving clarity of purpose, balance in life, and living each day with a greater sense of joy and fulfillment.

People find their way to the plant path for many reasons. Some have a health crisis and are not satisfied with the treatment (or lack thereof) they receive from the modern healthcare system. Some people have always just felt the call. My own journey has been anything but direct and linear — prior to this, I spent 10 years as a freelance photographer.. You can see some of that work here


It wasn’t a health crisis or life-long sense of calling, but what most led me to learn to work with plants was the need to find emotional and spiritual healing.

My mind needed to find quiet and calm, my spirit wanted to find connection and belonging, and my soul longed to find purpose and expression.

Many people feel instinctively that something is not right with the way things are in this world. We are more technologically advanced and “connected” than ever, so why is it that so many of us feel so desperately alone and uncertain? Why are so many people sick? So deeply unhappy?


I do not claim to have all of the answers, but I can tell you that if you have ever felt something similar to what I’ve described here, you are not alone and there is another way.

The natural world offers gentle, yet powerful medicine for every part you – body, spirit and mind.

It has been the catalyst for tremendous growth and transformation in my own life and so I offer these products with much love (and heart!) to support you on your own path to wellness. No matter where you find yourself in the journey, healing can be yours.

What great thing are you growing into?
