Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air.

Welcome to The Apothecary of Poetically Healing Possibility

Inspired in part by the widely well-received healing-focused work of the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy, William Sieghart, in the UK.

A source of poetic remedies, for the mental, emotional or spirit body. That can help ease, soothe or vivify these non-physical dimensions of your being, that affect your wellness.

Drawing on the poetic arts for healing reaches all the way back to ancient times and traditions, and across cultures. From Greece to China to India. Something I spoke to in a radio interview at Rider University, on "Poetry & Health.” They shared the view, the wisdom, that rhythm, imagery and metaphor could release emotional burdens, create harmony between body and mind, connect individuals to healing Source energies, and offer meaning in the midst of suffering.

Ancient understandings of poetry's healing power were precursors to modern poetry therapy and bibliotherapy practices, that have been of showable value in treating trauma, depression, and other non-physical conditions. That work from several levels, foundational to imaginal to vibrational.

There's a definite vitalizing alchemy possible. Through deep intuition and decades of discovery and total immersion in the poetic arts (from this link, scroll down to my background) and their powers I'm able to prescribe written, voiced and visual poetry that address wellness in these other dimensions. Many have also been touched, frequently inspirited and uplifted by original poetry I've composed expressly for them.

I recommend across a spectrum of challenges, from loss to loneliness and disconnection, from anxiety to empathy to self-acceptance. Likewise, recommending poetic tonics, especially ones to help raise the vibration of your being to an even higher level.

I Work with Individuals & Small Groups

I welcome one-on-one consults. With a donation of $135. Pre-payment details follow once you submit your form.

For individuals. We begin with you sharing with me the essential nature of your self, and of your issue. Also letting me know what part of the world you're in. Using the form at bottom. So I can glean into what you're feeling, experiencing within. What help you're seeking right now. Or, what you want to further strengthen, or deepen.

There may be one or more written and voiced poems I can recommend that could work some wonders. Infusions of their intangible kind, from the elemental to the contemplative to the spiritual. As called for. Usually in your hands within a week to 10 days. Remedies you can use freely, therapeutically, whenever needed.

For groups. I also work in person with smaller circles (15 to 30 people), and online (7 to 14 people) who want to come together for a wellness-catalyzing experience, 1-1/2 to 2 immersive hours. Cost is variable, depending on the dynamics and traveling distance. With a usual minimum donation of $40 per person.

I shape each session around the particular areas a group wants to focus on.

Your Apothecary awaits.

I look forward to hearing from you, and bringing the possibility 

of welcome inner healing and vitalizing energies your way,
