:AMBA UNTAMED:
The Amba Apothecary is a ritual in itself—each salve, soak, tincture, and oil created from plants I’ve foraged myself in Northern BC.
No mass production. No trendy extracts. No essential oils.
Only whole-plant allies, slow-infused, trauma-informed, and rooted in relationship with land, body, and cycle.
What Makes This Apothecary Different?
-
Wildcrafted – I forage every botanical myself, following ethical, seasonal harvesting practices.
-
Trauma-Informed – My offerings support the nervous system, not overstimulate it. No harsh oils. No bypassing. No overload.
-
Ritual-Ready
-
Mystically Grounded – Infused with somatic wisdom, ancestral reverence, and ceremonial use in mind.
Apothecary Ethics
-
No essential oils (too volatile for trauma-informed work).
-
No synthetic fragrances or fillers.
-
No plants I didn’t meet myself.
-
Always created in small, intentional batches.
Shadow Work Botanicals
Plant Allies for the Unexamined Places
Not everything within us needs to be healed, fixed or transformed.
Some things need to be witnessed.
Shadow Work Botanicals are a collection of single, fully dried plants chosen for the symbolism they carry and the questions they invite us to explore. Each botanical is paired with a specific shadow archetype and a reflection question designed to open a conversation with the parts of ourselves we may have buried, protected, rejected or simply never learned how to name.
Nettle speaks to anger and the sacred thing beneath it.
Yarrow asks where protection and access have become confused.
Fireweed grows from the places that have already burned.
Wild rose explores the complicated territory between tenderness and self-protection.
Each plant holds a different doorway.
There is no prescribed outcome and no demand that you emerge from the work as a more polished version of yourself. Shadow work is not about removing the difficult parts of who you are. It is about becoming curious enough to understand why they exist—and discerning what they may have been trying to protect.
Use your botanical as an altar offering, meditation companion, ritual ingredient, journaling anchor or simply as a physical reminder of the question you are carrying.
Each Shadow Work Botanical includes:
• One fully dried botanical
• Its Shadow archetype
• A dedicated reflection question
• Botanical correspondence and guidance for working with the plant
Choose the plant whose question makes you curious.
Or perhaps the one that makes you uncomfortable.
There is often something waiting there.
Ritual Anointing Oils
Botanical Oils for Intention • Embodiment • Ritual
Some intentions are meant to become more than words.
They are meant to be carried.
Amba Untamed Ritual Anointing Oils are slow botanical infusions created to give ritual something tangible—a scentless, plant-infused oil that can be touched to the skin, worked into an object or used to physically mark an intention.
Each oil is built around a specific working and its botanical correspondences. The plants are chosen for the symbolism they carry and the relationship they hold to one another: protection beside vulnerability, release beside remembrance, destruction beside what grows afterward.
Anoint your pulse points before beginning a ritual. Dress a candle or ritual object. Touch the oil to your hands before journaling, meditation or shadow work. Use it whenever you want to return to the intention the oil represents.
There is no correct way to make the gesture sacred.
The power of anointing is in the pause—the deliberate moment when an internal intention becomes a physical act.
A boundary you can trace.
A promise you can touch.
A becoming you can carry with you.
Botanically infused • Intentionally crafted • Unscented
The plant holds the symbolism.
You give it meaning.

Ritual Bath Salts
Botanical Baths for Returning to the Body
Some rituals begin with doing.
These begin with water.
Amba Untamed Ritual Bath Salts are created for moments when you need to step out of the noise and intentionally cross into a quieter space. Each blend combines mineral salts with botanicals chosen for the symbolism they carry, transforming an ordinary bath into a place for release, grounding, reclamation or intention.
The ritual is deliberately simple.
Warm water. Botanicals. Your body. A moment that belongs entirely to you.
As the salts dissolve, allow the bath to become a threshold between what you carried into the water and what you choose to carry back out. There is nothing you need to accomplish while you are there. You may journal beforehand, speak an intention, sit in silence, work with the accompanying ritual, or simply let the water hold you for a while.
The plants are not included because they promise transformation.
They are there as companions to it.
Each Ritual Bath includes:
• Mineral bath salts
• A curated botanical blend
• A reusable botanical bath sachet
• Botanical correspondences and ritual guidance
Fill the sachet with your botanical blend and allow it to steep in warm bath water alongside the salts.
When you are ready, step in.
What happens between entering the water and leaving it is yours.

Ritual Black Salt
For Boundaries • Protection • Release
Some things are meant to be welcomed in.
Others are not.
Amba Untamed Ritual Black Salt is created for the deliberate marking of boundaries—between yourself and what drains you, between what belongs in your space and what does not, and between what you are willing to carry and what you are ready to put down.
Salt has long carried symbolism of purification, preservation and protection. Black salt takes that symbolism into the territory of banishing, boundary work and release: not as an act of fear, but as an act of discernment.
Use it to mark the perimeter of a ritual space, strengthen protective workings, accompany release or cord-cutting rituals, dress candles, or create a physical boundary around something you are choosing to protect.
You may also simply keep it near a doorway, altar or meaningful object as a reminder:
Access is not automatic.
Protection does not require hostility.
A boundary does not require explanation.
And releasing something does not require you to hate what you are leaving behind.
Sometimes the ritual is simply deciding:
This comes with me.
This does not.

Ritual Kits
Botanical Workings for the Thresholds We Cross
There are moments that deserve to be marked.
An ending. A beginning. A boundary finally drawn. Something released. Something reclaimed. The quiet realization that you are no longer who you were when this chapter began.
Amba Untamed Ritual Kits are created for those thresholds.
Each kit is built around a specific intention and anchored by a botanical trinity—three plants chosen not simply for traditional correspondence, but for the relationship between their stories and the work being undertaken.
The ritual provides structure without prescribing what your experience should mean. You do not need to believe the universe will deliver something because you lit a candle correctly. You do not need perfect focus, elaborate tools or certainty about what comes next.
You only need to arrive intentionally.
Inside, botanical preparations, salt, candle and written ritual come together to create a physical container for the work. Burn, anoint, write, release, speak, sit with what emerges. Adapt the working when you need to.
The ritual is the container.
You are the one doing the work.
Created for reclamation, boundaries, release, becoming, lunar work and the complicated spaces between who you have been and who you are becoming.
Each kit contains everything needed to create a small ritual space of your own.
Not to ask something outside of you to change your life.
To mark the moment you decided to meet it differently.
