start here, mama
Raising whole humans with rhythm and respect.
There is another way to raise our children. One rooted in traditional wisdom, natural medicine, real food, movement, and a deeper understanding of how children grow, develop, and heal.
From your baby’s first foods to early potty learning, childhood illness, and emotional regulation, I’m bringing practical, hands-on knowledge back into the home so you can feel confident caring for your children through every stage.
Mama’s Medicine Chest ♥
Motherhood didn’t come with a medicine cabinet.
So I built you one
When our children get sick, it’s easy to feel afraid, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do. Especially when you’re watching a fever climb, listening to a cough all night, or wondering if there’s something more you could be doing to help.
After more than twenty years working with mothers and raising four children of my own, I’ve gathered everything I teach about caring for sick little ones into one place.
From the first signs of sickness to fevers, coughs, tummy bugs, herbal remedies, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, nourishing recipes, and nervous system support, Mama’s Medicine Chest teaches you how to understand your child’s body and care for them with confidence.
It’s the practical, hands-on family medicine I believe every mother deserves to have in her home.
Hundreds of mothers are already inside. Join the waitlist to be first to hear when the doors open again, or join the Primal Medicine Wellness Collective and get the Chest today.

What The Primal Child Is Built On
01.
The Nervous System
Your child’s nervous system learns from yours. When you’re regulated, your child has something steady to lean on, and that changes sleep, meals, tantrums, and everything in between.
02.
Potty Learning
Potty learning is body learning. When we start early, while your baby is still connected to their own signals, they learn to recognize the urge and respond to it. They come out of diapers sooner, with fewer battles, and grow up trusting their own body.
Misses aren’t failures. They’re how the body learns. My Primal Potty Training™ method is endorsed by Doman International.
03.
Ancestral Nourishment
Feeding your child the way our grandmothers did, with broth, healthy fats, protein, and minerals first. Food builds their brain, supports their gut, and influences their mood, so we start there and look for the nutritional gaps.
04.
Movement and Brain Development
Crawling, climbing, carrying, and free play outside are how a child’s brain gets built. I show you how to set up your home and your days so your child gets the movement and play they need to grow.
05.
Natural Medicine and In-Home Wellness
The herbs, remedies, and simple hands-on therapies I use in my own home for fevers, coughs, teething, and tummy troubles. Learn how to understand your child’s body, support them through illness, and recognize when more help is needed.
06.
Primal Parenting
This is where we work together one-on-one. Sleep, behavior, mood, tantrums, potty learning, or a gut reset. We look at your child and your home together and build a plan that fits your family.
My Story ♥
I’ve devoted my life to child development, health, and wellness.
I’ve been a mother since I was 17 years old, and motherhood has shaped every part of my life’s work. Today, I’m parenting across four decades, with children ages 2, 16, 22, and 27, and an 8-month-old grandbaby in the mix.
I’m Annie, a clinical vitalist herbalist, yoga and pelvic floor therapist, educator, and founder of Primal Vinyasa® and Primal Medicine.
For more than twenty years, I’ve worked with women and families, bringing together traditional herbal medicine, ancestral nourishment, therapeutic movement, nervous system education, child development, and family wellness coaching.
Before closing its doors, I spent nearly two decades building and operating Yoga Union Community Wellness Center in Portland, teaching thousands of students, supporting families, and developing my own methods: Primal Medicine, Primal Vinyasa®, and Primal Potty Training™.
Everything I’ve trained in, I’ve trained in for you and your children.
The Primal Child™ is where I’ve brought it all together. A place for mothers to learn how to care for their children, understand their development, and bring practical, hands-on knowledge back into their homes.
And through the Primal Medicine Wellness Collective, that same commitment extends to caring for you, mama. Because your health, vitality, movement, and well-being matter, too.
