ABOUT EROTICA BOTANICA APOTHECARY

Erotica Botanica Apothecary was born of a desire to make herbalism more accessible, delicious and enticing.

In 2008 I began infusing herbal medicines into functional foods like raw chocolate (cacao) as a means of getting my clients to consume their herbal formulas with more consistently. In an attempt to make consumption of herbs more enjoyable, even pleasurable, Erotica Botanica Apothecary was born. We officially opened in 2014 as a private sexual wellness practice & apothecary shop in Nevada City, California out of my home studio in the beautiful golden foothills of the Tahoe national forest. The practice was and still very much is centered around crafting quality aphrodisiac herbal formulas, holistic sex education, integrative pelvic care, somatics, sexology, and sustainable hedonism.

Through personalised 1:1 sexual wellness support and carefully crafted herbal aphrodisiac formulas our focus on enhancing our bodies innate capacity for pleasure whilst supporting virility, fertility and intimate erotic health for folks across the gender spectrum.In January of 2020 I closed up shop in Northern California to relocate to Dublin, Ireland where I now resides with my husband.
