Plant Killer Turned Happy Plant Lady™
I used to be overwhelmed and overworked. I spent thousands of dollars on self-help and still felt like something was missing...
Learning to care for houseplants changed that for me.
Now I'm on a mission to help you experience that same transformation.
Helping you unlock levels of joy, calm and connection
that will blow your freaking mind.
