About The Maker

Grand Rising- My names Gabby-
Thr hands & heart behind Hearth & Hive Botanicals. (Formerly The Bathing Bee) 

This business began in 2019 shortly before I became a Mom for the first time. 
It started with a simple intention: Learn healthier choices for everyday personal care items inorder to have less chemicals & toxins around our home as we venture into the world of parenthod. 
My approach to natural skincare & herbalism is both practical and deeply studied. While it isnt always possible to source a perfectly customized formula for every constitution or medical history, well crafted recipes & herbal blends can still reach the core body systems that support the majority of people. 

I have spent the past 6 years studying herbalism and crafting my own recipes for the products I offer the world. 
I have put much time in to studying the physiology of stress, along with the symptoms common to someone living with chronic anxiety and PTSD. 

That knowledge shapes every recipe I create.  
Each product or blend is built with a purpose: to nourish the nervous and endocrine systems, where stress and imbalce often begin. 
I combine herbs that offer immediate comfort with those that resatore long term resiliance through consistent use. 

My aim is to create formulas and self care products that feel both personal and widely supportive. I want these herbal blends and self care rituals to help you pause, reconnect with yourself, and feel at home in your body again. 

Thank You for stopping by. 
If you ever want to chat about herbs, self care, or how to integrate plants into your everyday life, I would love to hear from you. 


With gratitude,
