Meet Candace
Welcome to my morning cup musings — a space for nourishing the feminine essence through herbal wisdom, intentional rituals, and the beauty of natural living.
I’m a wellness writer and mother who guides women back to themselves through nature’s remedies, mindful adventures, and intentional living — one nourishing ritual at a time.
The Journey That Brought Me Here
My passion for holistic wellness began in 2009 while working in community health with immunocompromised patients living with HIV/AIDS. Witnessing their struggles with medication side effects sparked my search for natural remedies that could support healing gently and effectively.
My background in journalism and years working with nonprofits focused on family sustainability taught me that true wellness encompasses every area of life. A healthy body paired with an unhealthy mind, spirit, or relationships creates imbalance.
From Indiana’s forests to Southern California’s coast, Southern Nevada’s desert, and now North Texas’s rolling prairies, I’ve learned to cherish what the earth provides. I’m raising my daughter with this same appreciation for God’s natural healing gifts and the resilience that comes from being rooted in who we truly are.
What I Believe
You have always been her — before you whittled yourself down or puffed yourself up, before you climbed that mountain or painted your face. The woman you’re seeking has been waiting beneath all the doing and becoming.
God designed creation not just for our healing, but for our pleasure. Whether brewing herbal tea, exploring luxe solo adventures, or observing nature’s rhythms, everything offers lessons for our lives and opportunities for restoration.
True wellness means caring for the whole person through intentional nutrition, mindful movement, daily self-compassion, and curiosity about both traditional wisdom and modern natural health discoveries.
