"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."

John 1:5

 

Welcome to Leaf & Pine!

I’m so glad you’re here. That’s my family in the photo above, though since it was taken, we’ve been blessed with another beautiful baby boy! I live in the heart of Louisiana with my husband, our daughter, and three very energetic boys who keep life wonderfully busy.

Growing up in a small southern Louisiana town, I was surrounded by amazing food—but healthy food wasn’t always part of the equation. Like many, I was raised on the Standard American Diet, full of processed and chemical-laden options. While I still enjoy my parents’ delicious Cajun cooking, I’ve grown much more intentional about what I put in and on my body.

In April 2016, my life changed forever when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Nodular Sclerosis Classical Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at just 24 years old. It was a life-altering moment, but also the beginning of an incredible, spirit-led journey. I dove deep into the world of natural healing, learning about nutrition, the restorative power of plants, and how God’s creation can bring true healing.

Today, I’m blessed to say I’m cancer-free.

Through this journey, I discovered a passion and a calling— to study herbs, use them, and share their benefits with others who are seeking natural ways to care for their bodies and spirits.

And that’s how Leaf & Pine was born.

Thank you for stopping by.. I hope this space inspires you and deepens your connection to God’s healing creation through the beauty and power of herbs.
