Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Cheryl, founder of Tumbleseed Apothecary, balm obsessive and herbalism learner who believes in starting small and getting your hands slightly oily. I began making balms in the middle of a sleep-deprived parenting spiral and haven’t stopped since. This course isn’t about being an expert. It’s about trying things out, getting curious and discovering what works for you. I’ll guide you through the basics with encouragement, not perfectionism and hopefully a few aha moments along the way. Let’s make something lovely together.
