"My son would get a painful crack under his big toe every summer from running barefoot outside. I tried everything for weeks, but nothing worked. Annie recommended a simple poultice made from plantain, yarrow, and honey. After just three nights, there was fresh pink skin where there had been a deep, painful gash. It didn't just heal the cut, it grew new skin. Learning how to use the plants growing around us to care for my children has been incredibly empowering."

"I've known Annie for over 10 years, and she is hands down the best when it comes to natural remedies and holistic wellness. Being part of her Primal Medicine Wellness Collective has completely changed the way I mother. Every masterclass leaves me with practical tools I use with my boys almost immediately. Instead of panicking or endlessly Googling at 3 a.m., I feel confident knowing exactly where to turn and what to do. Annie has empowered me with knowledge that will serve my family for a lifetime, and I'm so grateful for the impact she's had on our lives."

Everyone is talking about ticks right now.

Let me tell you about my wild encounter…..
Twenty five years ago, I moved to Telluride for the summer with my sister and my two year old daughter. We decided to live in the woods, live in a tent. We pitched it, went to sleep, and woke up to find it crawling. We had pitched our tent on an entire patch of ticks. They were swarming it, covering our things, so bad we had to abandon our gear and walk away from it.
And then the part I can still feel: going over my baby inch by inch and plucking ticks off of her body. None of them had bitten her. But it was my first tick encounter, it was really scary, and I have taken ticks seriously ever since.
What I did not do was start living in fear. We spend our lives outside. I went to the local health food store, found the herbalist there, and we made a tick spray together. A spray bottle and the right oils. That exact recipe is what I have used for twenty five years since, on my kids, on my dogs, every summer. It absolutely works. I make it into small bottles and keep one in every bag and in the car.
That is what this whole masterclass is about….releasing fear and knowing exactly what to do.
Most of what your children need is already in your kitchen or growing in your yard
The only thing missing is somebody teaching you the why behind it, because when you understand why a remedy works, you stop second guessing yourself. Here's where we're going together in 90 minutes.
The ticks and the stings
My 25-year tick spray recipe, yours to make the same afternoon. Exactly what to do if a tick latches and the signs to watch in the days after. And for the bee stings and bug bites, the medicine growing under your feet: plantain, yarrow, honey, even a spit poultice made right on the trail.
The water
What chlorine is really doing to their skin and their gut, and the herbal body oil we make at home before pool day. Swimmer's ear, handled. And the electrolyte kefir water my kids drink all summer, with more probiotics than anything you could buy. I will give you the recipes!
The sun
Your child's skin was designed to adapt to the sun. How morning and evening light builds their own protection, the sun callus almost nobody teaches anymore. The truth about what's in conventional sunscreen, and the natural zinc oxide version we can make ourselves. And when they burn anyway, or the day gets too hot, exactly what to do, including the heat exhaustion signs mothers miss.
The safety checks
Water, food, choking, and how to keep your kids safe in the middle of a busy summer. I've been a mom for 27 years, and there are some things I've learned along the way. AND so much more….

What this is not.
No reward charts or behavior correction systems that rely on external pressure or manipulation.
No just stay calm advice that ignores your own nervous system and physical capacity.
No pressure-based potty training or sleep training methods that break connection.
Becoming a regulated leader for your home takes priority over striving for parental perfection.
The Curriculum
Inside this 60-minute session, I'll walk you through the core framework of the Primal Child™ method.
01
Developmental Arc
How the nervous system evolves from infancy through childhood and what it requires from us at every stage.
Â
02
De-escalation
Understanding why behavior escalates and how to stop reacting to the surface noise in the heat of the moment..
Â
03
Dysregulation
The critical difference between defiance and dysregulation—and why treating them the same way doesn't work.
Â
04
Co-Regulation
Concrete tools to support your child's emotional peaks without creating a cycle of dependence or burnout.
The Shift is permanent.
Â
When you understand the nervous system, you stop asking: "Why is my child acting like this?" and start seeing: "I know exactly what is happening."
THAT SHIFT ALONE CHANGES HOW YOU SHOW UP
