A Journey of Creative Resilience - The Architect of a New Start

After a life-altering accident, the landscape of my world shifted. I found myself at a crossroads: to remain still, or to create a new way forward. TeaNa Botanica is my act of resilience. Starting a boutique business is a mountain for anyone to climb, but building one designed for a sensitive nervous system - is a high-stakes journey of resilience, honoring the quiet mastery of a ‘High-Zen’ philosophy.

I’ve spent my life in horticulture and hands on plant practice. I am a botanical tea artisan, and an Environmental Design Planner, and though my pace has changed, my drive to create, prosper and serve my neighbors in Illinois remains the same.

My path is clear: TeaNa Botanica is currently a cottage business serving my Illinois neighbors, but the vision is global. By Summer 2026, we anticipate our Registered Trademark will be finalized & ‘published’ - a major milestone in securing our ‘Old World Apothecary’ legacy".
