Hi, I’m the heart behind Smokey Lotus, a practice rooted in plant medicine, deep care, and a love for reconnecting with the wisdom of the body.

My journey with essential oils began about 16 years ago, after I broke my wrist during a 4th of July celebration (because yes, I know how to have a good time). When my cast came off, I was searching for ways to support healing and restore mobility. That’s when I met Dianne, a local healer in Shelbyville, MO, and everything shifted.

What began as a few treatments in her home quickly blossomed into a lifelong passion. Dianne taught me the true power of essential oils through hands on healing and heart centered care. Before long, I was bringing my grandparents for treatments too. I’ll never forget seeing my grandmother walk with ease again, undoubtedly, a gift from plants and loving hands.

Since then, my path has unfolded in many directions. For over a decade, I’ve practiced as a an Aromatherapist Reiki Master, channel, visionary, clairvoyant, yoga teacher, and bodyworker, all work that deeply informs every formula I create. To me, oils are more than ingredients, they’re living medicine. Each blend is made with clear intention, energetic attunement, and deep respect for plant spirit and human healing.

Today, Smokey Lotus has grown into a mobile apothecary, traveling through Northwest Arkansas, Missouri, and Florida ,offering plant based body care, essential oil blends, balms, and ritual products at markets, pop-ups, and healing events and of course, online. I’ve also expanded into wholesale, partnering with massage therapist, couselors, estheticians, spas, metaphyscial shops, and many other practitioners who share our values of simplicity, intentionality, and earth-rooted wellness.

Every formula is crafted with reverence for the land, for ancient lineages, for the unseen energies that guide us,the Holy Spirit, and this sacre land of elements we walk upon, and for every being whose path we cross. And this, you can feel in these bottles and formulas.
