A bit about me
I am Leiah, Trained Herbalist, Soapmaker, Goat-whisperer, and keeper of the secrets of the ages.
I take nature and science and a little magic and create beautiful useful things.
I have always been in love with the forest, I take so much inspiration from a sun dappled path through a cedar grove, or a crisp fall morning with brightly coloured leaves tumbling to the ground and a hot cup of coffee. I spent my childhood summers camping in the boreal forests of Northern Saskatchewan with my family, I always felt at home in the woods. Fast forward many lifetimes of moving around Canada, I landed in Winnipeg where I met my other half. In 2008 we took a giant leap out of city life and into a log home on 67 acres deep in the woods of Southeastern Manitoba and got some goats.
I started to seriously study plants and herbal medicine in 2012 and spent the next 6 years studying and writing exams or working in my herb garden through nap times or with a cranky baby strapped to me. As the fog of early motherhood started to lift I began to find myself again through creating artisan goat milk soap and herbal bath and body products using the plants and animals around me.
My life is a goat rodeo, and not just the part where I have goats.I have three small humans, I run a small business and a farm.and I am terrible at finding time for myself, so in this chaos I try to find small moments of self care.
Self care for real life.
Something simple that brings joy into my day.
That's my goal for Apothecandy, to say "hey, I see you. You deserve this moment of joy too, let me share it with you".
I want people to feel seen, to feel good, and I want them to use the good soap because they deserve to use beautiful things.
