Founder & Formulator

Healing has been at the heart of my work for over 30 years as a master herbalist and holistic medicine practitioner.

Working from my studio on Cortes Island, I grow many of the botanicals that go into every formula, cultivating them in my gardens and harvesting at peak potency.

As the seasons change, so does our skin. My intention is to craft formulations that support you through those shifts. Grown, harvested, and blended in small, intentional batches.

Every formula is made with purpose and deep respect for the land and waters that nourish us all.

Why Twigroot Exists

Twigroot was born from a vision: skincare that truly supports skin health while protecting the pristine environment of Cortes Island.

As a holistic practitioner, I've always believed in working with the body's natural processes, not against them. I created Twigroot to bring that philosophy to skincare—formulations that strengthen your skin's barrier, restore balance, and honor the earth

Our Island Gardens

Cortes Island's unique climate is mild, marine-influenced, and mineral-rich. Ideal conditions for growing potent botanicals.

Our gardens produce calendula, chamomile, rosemary, lavender, and other herbs that form the foundation of our formulations. We harvest seasonally, at peak potency for optimum freshness.

Once prepared, our botanicals are slow infused for use in our skin care formulations.

From soil to skin, every step is intentional.

Beyond the Garden

Some ingredients can't grow on Cortes Island, exotic butters, certain oils, and specialized actives.

We source these from certified organic and ethical Canadian suppliers who share our commitment to quality and traceability.

Every ingredient, whether garden-grown or carefully sourced, meets the same standard: potent, pure, and proven.
