I'm Tori,

your passionate and spiritual herbalist. Welcome, I am so happy you’re here.

Here at Spirit of the Ridge, I believe in the wisdom of the seasons, the rhythms of the earth, and the healing power of Mother Nature, guided by the quiet spirit that lives within all things.

My herbal journey began several years ago when I felt a deep urge to stop reaching outside myself and my home for healing. I wanted to know how to heal my own body and support my family using ancient wisdom passed down through generations. Honestly, I felt a strong pull to live like it was the 1600s or something. Since I was 13, I have always felt drawn to the earth and to spirit. I knew there was something in her that could heal me and help me grow.

For many years, I went back and forth between societal norms and what Mother Earth was quietly calling me toward. Now here I am in my late 30s, with two almost grown kids, finally listening.

Along the way, I began making my own body care like bath bombs, scrubs, and herbal infused blends. That naturally led me into herbal medicines such as tinctures, teas, salves, and energetic healing work. This hands on relationship with the plants grounded everything I was learning and pulled me even deeper into their wisdom. From there, I dove into medicinal herbs, food as medicine, and the traditional ways our ancestors used plants every day.

I have been through a few business names, but in 2025, my hardest year to date, Spirit of the Ridge came to me and it felt like home. That is exactly what I want this space to feel like for you.

Now, I weave herbs into my life to support both the physical and the spiritual, and I am here to help you do the same. My work honors seasonal wisdom, earth centered healing, and the belief that nature always has something to teach us.
