Boundaries & Ethics

Wild Pine Hollow Apothecary is rooted in care, respect, and integrity—both for the people who gather here and for the plants themselves. Clear boundaries help keep this space steady, safe, and sustainable.

Scope of This Practice

The information shared through Wild Pine Hollow—whether on this website, in writing, or through offerings—is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

I do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease, and nothing shared here should be understood as medical advice. Herbal practices are offered as supportive, complementary approaches, not as replacements for professional medical care.

Personal Responsibility

Each person is responsible for their own health decisions, research, and care. Bodies, circumstances, and needs vary, and what is supportive for one person may not be appropriate for another.

I encourage you to work with qualified healthcare providers and to listen closely to your own body and intuition when engaging with herbal practices.

Relational Boundaries

Wild Pine Hollow is not an emergency service, crisis support space, or substitute for professional mental health care. While this work is grounded in nervous system awareness and gentle ritual, it does not replace therapeutic or clinical support.

Communication is handled with care and intention. I may not be able to respond immediately or engage in ongoing private consultation unless explicitly stated within a specific offering.

Ethics & Plant Respect

This practice is guided by respect for plants, land, lineage, and lived experience. I strive to source and work with plants responsibly, ethically, and with awareness of sustainability and cultural context.

I do not claim ownership over traditions that are not mine, and I aim to credit sources, teachers, and lineages whenever possible.

Consent & Choice

Engagement with this space is always optional. You are free to step in, step back, or step away at any time.

These boundaries exist to keep this practice grounded, ethical, and accessible—so it can remain a steady place to return to, season after season.
