North Star Botanicals was founded by Alicia North in 1997. Her motto is “A nature-based lifestyle is paramount to sustainable health for people and the planet!” An herbal artisan who has been formulating and creating healthy lifestyle products for a quarter century, Alicia utilizes mainly abundant or “opportunistic” (aka invasive) local plants and sources local organic ingredients for all of her creations. She offers education and healthy lifestyle support with a natural and organic approach to help find solutions to your chronic health concerns. Energy work, organic & local food systems, traditional nutrition and herbs are the heart of her approach.
Alicia is also an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner. Known as EFT or tapping, this energy approach is similar to acupressure which helps the body release chronic pain, emotional problems, disorders, addictions, phobias & post traumatic stress disorder which can impede healing goals.
Van gogh’s Starry Starry Night
Alicia also blends her love of Astrology and it’s basic premise that planetary movements influence moments in time in her work with clients. The position of all other stars in the sky can be determined by the North Star, which contributed to the idea of the stars as horses and the North Star the stake to which they are tethered. It is by means of this star that nomads, navigators and the first aviators found their bearings.
“Each person’s natal chart represents a blueprint of the energies and tendencies intrinsic to the incarnating soul.” As above, so below!
