Hello and welcome to Heartwood House.

You’ve found a cozy space for mindful, nature-based living.

Heartwood House is a one-woman show fully developed from a backyard yoga & art studio, inspired by long walks through nature and an endless capacity for dreaming.

It’s a place where wellness, environmentalism, and nature-based spirituality co-mingle. A wellness practice is not complete without a relationship with nature. We humans are not separate from the natural world, after all.

It’s here where inspiration turns to thought, thought turns to idea, and idea turns to offering.

Offerings include:

  • the monthly New Moon Newsletter

  • written work including the Notes from Nature series

  • nature-based wellness practices through movement, breathwork, meditation and ritual-work

  • hand-scribed ritual candles

All offerings are designed to enhance your capacity for self-reflection and deepen your personal & spiritual connection to nature.


New Moon Newsletter

The New Moon Newsletter is the heart and soul of Heartwood House. It’s a love letter from Mother Earth to you, sent once a month at the New Moon.

In it you’ll find a written meditation on the nature of nature and our human existence within it.

You also receive free nature-based practices, studio updates including upcoming classes/events, and links to free seasonal resources.

The newsletter was created to get my swirling thoughts out on to paper, to inspire self reflection, and encourage readers to connect with nature on a deeply spiritual level.

Think of it as a bouquet for your soul.

The Lady of the House

I’m Emily.

Mother of two, certified Virginia Master Naturalist, 200-hour RYT, and nature-based wellness practitioner and teacher.

My education in environmental studies taught me just how interconnected all life is and inspired me to help others rediscover their connections. My work is heavily influenced by the spirituality of nature.

I reflect and I write. I learn and I teach.

I blend nature's elements, seasons, rhythms and cycles with movement, breathwork, meditation and ritual-work to provide offerings that are introspective and designed to connect body, mind and spirit to nature.
