Have you ever considered what your hair, and how you care for it, have to do with your womb, nervous system, and even your sovereignty? Today I’m sharing a conversation with my dear friend Arielle. She’s a mother, wife, herbalist, hair healer, and a member of The Womb Room! With an extensive background and successful career as a hairdresser, Arielle’s experience with a medical midwife during the birth of her daughter revealed the illusion of licensure as safety, and caused her to question the role of licensure in her own life and work. Now, Arielle is a sovereign hair healer and herbal educator, and she’s sharing with us the many connections between our hair, our overall wellness, and our power. We get into: How most haircare products (including “natural” ones) contain endocrine disruptors that can impact our health Witnessing racism and misogyny in the hair industry The connection between our hair and our nervous system The “witch wound” and the importance of touch and intimacy in female friendships The facade of licensure, and redefining risk and safety in our sovereign health choices Top tips for beginning a “no poo” (shampoo free) journey for all hair types …and more! If you’re listening to this when it’s released, make sure to check out Arielle’s small batch apothecary, SubLuna Botanicals, which updates on Friday, December 3! And, check out her upcoming Feral Herbalism Series, and her Instagram.
