About Sandy …

I am a certified herbalist, Ayurveda practitioner and licensed veterinary technician. I have been blending herbs for people and animals for over 16 years and I can think of nothing I would rather be doing!

My husband and I are raising our two daughters to know that food made with love not only tastes the best, but is also more nourishing for your body, mind and soul. We are avid outdoors people, spending our summers in our beautiful Pacific Northwest, backpacking, hiking, camping, working in our garden and yard and taking all of our meals outside.

We share our home with two senior horses, one dozen chickens and a lovely, sweet rooster; a big black cat and five busy fish who keep our water troughs free of mosquitos and whatnot.

Why I made Botany Butter …

I have always used oil on my skin to nourish and hold in moisture and I wanted to create a formula I could easily carry with me on any adventure. I started thinking about the varying melting points of nutritive and anti-inflammatory oils that promote elasticity and protect the skin from the elements. I came up with my formula and began giving it as gifts to my friends and family. The response was extremely positive and everyone wanted more… hence, the beginning of Botany Butter!
