SOULjourner, there is an invitation to bring the natural world into how we celebrate life's moments. In our search for meaningful gifts, nature can be a profound source of inspiration, revealing sustainable and thoughtful choices that resonate with our flourishing, both personally + collectively.
In my soul care studio, botanical designs are at the heart of my creations. Not only do they captivate me aesthetically, but they also serve as a soul-nourishing reminder to tend to the garden of my life + relationships.
My Personal Connection to Botanicals
Botanicals hold a special significance for me, rooted in the cherished memories of my grandmother, whom we affectionately called Big Momma. She was not just a gardener; she was an herbalist who spent most of her waking hours nurturing her indoor + outdoor gardens.
Whenever my cousins and I visited her and Big Daddy on their farm in North Little Rock, Arkansas, she would involve us in her world of plants, teaching us about their care and the wisdom they held.
Big Momma’s garden was a sanctuary filled with vibrant colors and those moments spent with her instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature.
Our conversations about plants were not just about gardening; they were lessons in patience, growth, and the interconnectedness of life.
Designing with botanicals is my way of honoring Big Momma's legacy, allowing her love for nature to inspire my soul care creations.

The Wisdom of Nature in Gift Giving
Just as the cycles of nature reveal the importance of rhythms + renewal, our gift choices can foster a deeper sense of alignment with the earth and with one another.
However you include nature in your gift, may you sow seeds of compassion + creativity in your gift-giving.
Mohawkmomma Studio offers botanical expressions that range from warm earth tones to vibrant + bold hues, reflecting the beauty, boldness, and wisdom inherent in nature.
