Natural shifts of each season affect our mind and body, as a result, our needs also shift.
Handcrafting each seasonal tea blends for your needs is our specialty.
Hi, I’m Lashawna!
The act of self-care came through discovering and making natural products like skincare and teas as a hobby. Creating was a therapeutic way for me to relieve the stressors and changes happening around me, and that’s where it all began. I embodied my grandfather’s joy of natural medicine and holistic living. I watched him experiment with herbs, making teas and oils to naturally heal and support his well-being. My vision then expanded to start my own small business to help others learn to nurture themselves in intentional ways, so that they can thrive through seasonal changes or stressors. Nurture with Botanics has evolved to be a tea focused wellness brand when I realized tea is more than just a delicious drink. There are endless ways to incorporate tea into your routine (not just by drinking it) and so many supporting and healing properties. Nurture with Botanics is where I can combine my love for herbs, food and my passion for helping others thrive.
The potency, taste, and smell of a plant differs based on geographical region, and sourcing locally ensures that they are specifically conditioned to our local weather and seasonal patterns, and deal with the same stresses and climate fluctuations that we do.
Brand Inspiration
Nurture with Botanics is simultaneously inspired by the Danish lifestyle of hygge and botanics, applying a blend of each concept, including simplicity, comfort, and plants.
Hygge (pronounced ‘hue-guh’) is a Danish concept of creating joy and coziness in everyday moments, whether alone or in the company of others. In fostering a sense of hygge, it’s important to take a deep breath, slow down, and be present in each moment.
Incorporating botanics into our self-care routines teaches us so much about enjoying the unhurried process of life. Plants take time to grow, and while they provide us with so much, they also require us to provide for them— a beautiful balance.
Giving Back
Mental health and wellness is incredibly important to us, and we’re committed to doing our part to support our community. In 2021 our proceeds were previously going to local mental health initiatives in Ontario, but with food insecurity at an all time high, as of 2023 donations each season will be going to a local Food cupboard in Ottawa. Being able to have access to basic needs plays a role in our mental health and well-being.
