About Me:

 

I'm Stephanie Layne, owner and Herbalist of Thistle Bee Tea Co. I can make one Hell of an herbal preparation, but Thistle Bee's roots run deeper than that. We are steeped strongly in research, passed down plant wisdom, exploration, and folk medicine. I have studied Herbalism for over a decade between mentors, herbal education programs, books, and practice, but I've been immersed in grandma's cooking, home & hearth expertise, and plant knowledge since birth.

​

At Thistle Bee we hold deep respect for the knowledge of our elders and the ones who came before us. We respect the land & plants that guide us and strive to live a more natural way of life. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to spend most of my time with the elders in my family. They taught me that eating well and educating oneself is important and that listening to your intuition is one of the most important skills you can hone. History, folk medicine, and self sufficiency was unknowingly taught freely in our family. We grew and preserved food, cooked at home, made our own medicines, and took time to sit and visit with nature. I didn't know it then, but I was learning self sufficiency and ancestral knowledge from the get go. Now, it's my turn to help others explore plant medicine, develop their own intuitive ancestral skills, and live a more nature-centric way of life.

​

If you're longing for a stronger connection to the Earth, connection to your ancestors, or for something that lights a fire in your spirit -- let's regenerate your roots together.

Take the Journey with me!
