After completing her Herbal Apprenticeship with Amy McCombe in 2016, Katie—hands and heart behind Motherose—found herself wandering the spiralic path into the realm of Plants.
As a gardener, an abundance of herbs and flowers flowed through her hands. Years spent crafting, infusing, blending, and gently testing remedies with loved ones. As a traveller, she met wild plants from far and near, foraging edibles and medicinal herbs along the road. Always learning & listening. Connecting to the earth and the essence of each plant by imbibing the plants that dwell there.
Eventually, the call to settle came—ripe and undeniable. From this place of stillness and knowing, Motherose Apothecary bloomed, in a very natural way. Each offering is born through ritual, a co-creative weaving with deva's of the plants in response to the energy's of the seasons & celestial bodies.
Motherose remedies are grounded in daily rituals of presence, shaped by a belief that reconnecting with the Earth is the root of true, balanced health. That connecting to the earth and vitality of nature is our birthright.
Motherose invites you to return to the wellspring of life through the healing power of plants.
So wander this spiral path. Open your heart. Let the scent of roses and wild herbs guide you. Dance barefoot through daisy fields. Follow your intuition to the remedies and ritual tools that speak your name. Rekindle your magic. Walk the beauty path Home.

Since meeting my beloved, Sam, Motherose has grown. With a background working as a heavy-diesel tractor mechanic, growing up smoking in garages around working-class men. Sam has brought forward a curated range of smoking implements, inspired by those Men.
Father Fire was born through a passion for offering healthy & sustainable ways to smoke. To restore the mana of daily ritual, that quiet moment at the end of the day. Fire, spark, toke & contemplate.
Smoking has long been a ritual of Men & Women, we live in challenging times. Tobacco, herbs & Herb have walked along our ancestors through many an age. Lets honour these plants, lets honour the support the give us & lets do it mindfully.
