Hey, I’m Karen! I’m so glad you’re here!

 

Sacred Earth Apothecary and Sacred Earth Photography are the culmination of my lifelong dream. We are a family operation where everyone pitches in to make this dream a reality.

Let me share a little about my journey…

 

I’m a Master Herbalist, Aromatherapist, Holistic Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Practitioner, Manifestation Coach, and Photographer, but at heart, I’m just that friend who always has a natural remedy for everything. The one who talks about moon phases, knows the magic of the “weeds” in your yard, and always smells a little like lavender.

You’ll find me foraging for herbs, propagating plants, or with a crystal tucked away in my pocket (or bra)… and just as often, you’ll find me in the pasture with my horses or behind the camera, chasing golden light and authentic moments. Whether I'm documenting the quiet connection between a horse and its person, the joy of a growing family, or the beauty of everyday life, I believe photography is another form of healing. It's a way to preserve stories, celebrate connection, and remind us of the beauty that exists all around us.

Intuitive horsemanship, equine-assisted therapy, and photography are woven into my life the same way herbs and magic are, reminding me daily of the healing power that comes from connection, presence, and trust.

 

My holistic path officially began in 2016 after a lupus diagnosis, but truthfully, it started as a little girl, mixing plant potions, talking to animals, collecting rocks, and carrying a camera whenever I could.

Today, I believe true wellness is whole-body healing: nourishing the physical, calming the mind, and restoring the spirit. Herbs, food, aromatherapy, journaling, movement, nature, and creative expression are all medicine.

 

I am not a "Love & Light" type of practitioner. I believe healing is messy, hard, and requires us to face our shadows and release what holds us back. I also believe that the moments we preserve through photographs become part of that healing—capturing milestones, relationships, and memories that deserve to be treasured for generations.

I’m honored to guide others on their wellness journey and to document the moments that matter most, helping you heal, manifest, reconnect with your highest self, and preserve the beauty of your story.
