The Little Leaf Apothecary, Cape Town, Cape Town (2026)

18/05/2026

Welcome to our new followers! 🌿

The Little Leaf Apothecary is a sweet sanctuary of botanical beauty, self-care ritual, wholesome healing and gentle living.

I personally create and hand-make all the products in the range, sourcing locally wherever possible. When I am unable to source organic, which is not always possible, I ensure that my face and body oils are pesticide free (not all farms are able to afford the cost of being certified organic - but their products are grown with lovce, care and reverence to nature).

My range includes face serums, body oils, refresher sprays, hair oils, healing oils for the skin, herbal teas, hot chocolates, golden milk and more! We may be little, but we are bursting with creativity and the joy of sharing the love of plants and nature.

Our website is currently under construction as we create something beautiful for you, so in the meantime, you can:
🌿 Browse and order directly from my Whatsapp catalogue
🌿 Or simply message me personally for orders, recommendations or questions

Thank you for being here and supporting this small handmade business. I’m so grateful you’ve found your way to this space 🌹

With love,

The very first face serum I ever made, and one that will always be close to my heart, Sacred Rose.

I created Sacred Rose when I was doing a rose shamanism course, and was deeply immersed in the Sacred Feminine Mysteries. The rose is powerful plant ally, one that has gentleness and power, fragility and strength. In order for her to bloom, she needs to be rooted and able to protect herself.

I combined the rose with frankincense and myrrh, as these are deeply healing and grounded essences from the trees.

This is a deeply healing serum physically, and it serves us energetically as well, in balancing the Divine Feminine and the Sacred Masculine - opening the heart, while protecting and holding.

The perfect blend, and the perfect gift for Mom this Mother's Day.

To order, dm me or order on my Whatsapp catalogue - 0728326995.

The Damask Rose (Rosa damascena) is one of the most exquisite and highly prized flowers in the world. Native to the Middle East and cultivated in regions such as Bulgaria's Rose Valley and Iran, this rose is celebrated for its captivating fragrance and therapeutic properties. What makes it so exclusive is the painstaking process of extracting its precious essential oil: it takes nearly 10,000 handpicked rose petals to produce just one gram of oil. This rarity, coupled with its unparalleled quality, makes Damask Rose essential oil one of the most valuable oils globally.
Known for its richness in antioxidants, vitamins, and antimicrobial compounds, it is a cornerstone in high-end skincare and perfumery, revered for its ability to soothe, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin while reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
🌹 The Spiritual Essence of Rose
Spiritually, the rose has long been a symbol of love, purity, and divine connection. Its high vibrational energy is believed to open the heart chakra, fostering compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Meditating with rose or using it in rituals can help release emotional blockages, promoting inner peace and self-acceptance. The rose's gentle, uplifting energy encourages a deeper connection to the soul and to the divine, offering comfort in times of grief or uncertainty. Whether used in aromatherapy, ceremonies, or self-care practices, the Damask Rose serves as a reminder of the beauty, resilience, and healing power of nature.
I am quite literally, quite completely in love and awe at the same time. This scent is pure heaven.
Order your Sacred Rose luxurious face serum now in 20ml (R250) or 50ml (R550) dropper bottles.
Perfume rollers coming soon - because you have to be able to smell this 200 times a day 🌹 ❤

I love my work so very much. I've just wrapped up a 12 week coaching journey with a very special client, a retired attorney in her 60's who had cancer twice, and had just finished radiation treatment. Throughout the detox and coaching journey she struggled with fatigue and all the adjustments of moving to a new healthy lifestyle. I hadn't seen her in person for the last few sessions and today we met to wrap up and I was blown away at how she was literally glowing with health! She said she's never felt lighter.

Normally it takes people quite a long time to recover from radiation treatment which is cumulative and brutal. She felt terrible in the beginning and went from strength to strength. It gives me so much hope that we CAN heal ourselves - both from cancer and from the harsh effects of the treatments.

Through happy tears, she said her body feels so happy and is her new best friend. She's been able to shift from her over-active mind to a profound connection with her body and it has been such a WOW experience.

She's starting out on a beautiful spiritual journey and sees the cancer as the awakening she needed to transform her life. I cannot wait to see where she goes next.

I have a full and happy heart ❤

What are my go-to anti-cancer teas? Here's my list! I drink most of these regularly. You can take these if you're on a cancer healing protocol, and also for general health and cancer prevention.

*Essiac Tea*
A traditional blend of herbs created by the Ojibway Indians of Canada, it consists of burdock root, slippery elm, sheep sorrel, and Turkish rhubarb root, used to support detoxification, blood purification, inflammation and immune function, with much evidence for its anti-cancer properties. Also very effective with auto-immune, HIV, viruses and so on.

*Green Tea*
Rich in catechins, particularly EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), green tea is known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies suggest that it may inhibit cancer cell growth and metastasis.

*Turmeric Tea* (Golden Milk or Turmeric Tea)
Contains curcumin, which has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin has been studied for its potential to inhibit cancer cell growth and reduce tumor size. I make a delicious blend with cardamom, ginger, cinnamon & ashwagandha which makes it even more potent in its anti-cancer properties - and its delicious!

*Milk Thistle Tea*
Research shows that silymarin in milk thistle can promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) in certain types of cancer cells, including breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers, potentially slowing tumor growth. It also supports liver detoxification.

*Artemesia Tea*
Known for its anti-parasitic and anti-malarial properties, artemisinin, the active compound in Artemisia, has also shown promise in cancer research. It is believed to induce apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth. This has a very bitter taste, I add a sprinkle of liquorice root powder and it is delicous!

*Ginger Tea* (who doesn't love ginger!)
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger tea is believed to have anti-cancer effects by promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inhibiting cancer cell growth.

*Dandelion Tea*
Studies suggest dandelion root extract may induce apoptosis in certain cancer cells and reduce tumor growth, making it a popular tea among alternative cancer treatments. You can make a tea with the roots and the leaves, and you can include leaves & flowers in your salads and stir fries! DANDELIONS ARE MEDICINE NOT WEEDS!!

*Pau d’Arco Tea*
Derived from the bark of a South American tree, this tea is known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and is often used in holistic cancer therapies for its potential to inhibit cancer cells.

*Sutherlandia Tea* (also known as the cancer bush)
A traditional South African herb used in complementary cancer care. It has immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, helping the body combat cancer cells. Tastes like hell. Literally. Don't drink it as a tea. Just don't. That said, sutherlandia & curcumin taken together have been shown to be MORE EFFECTIVE THAN CERTAIN CHEMOTHERAPIES AT KILLING CANCER STEM CELLS! Just take in supplement form. You'll thank me later.

*Chaga Mushroom Tea*
Chaga is packed with antioxidants and has been studied for its immune-modulating and anti-cancer properties, with research suggesting it may slow tumor growth. I also love reishi & turkey tail. You can add mushroom powder to your hot chocolates - it has a delicious coffee like flavour yum!

*Soursop (Graviola) Tea*
Soursop leaves are believed to have anticancer properties, especially in relation to breast, colon, and prostate cancer, due to compounds called acetogenins. Magical stuff. I drank loads of this when I healed my recurrence naturally in 6 weeks.

*Matcha Tea*
A concentrated form of green tea with higher levels of catechins, matcha offers even stronger antioxidant and anti-cancer benefits compared to regular green tea.

*Rooibos Tea*
Rich in antioxidants like quercetin and aspalathin, rooibos tea may help protect cells from oxidative damage and may inhibit cancer cell growth.

I stock most of these - drop me a message if you'd like to order 🌟

I was chatting to a friend the other day who'd picked up this horrid lurgy that is doing the rounds at the moment. I asked what she does to support her immune system, and she responded with some things she'd taken and given her family when they got sick. I said no, not once you're sick, BEFORE you get sick. She furrowed her brow and said she'd never thought about that before! I told her that before I leave my house, I drink a glass of Vit C water (Calcium Ascorbate - buffered Vit C i.e. alkaline), I take 10 drops of Vit D (10 000iu) and a Zinc capsule. So far I haven't had as much as a sniffle - and my immune system is still under functioning from chemo 3 years ago.

Perhaps because of my cancer diagnosis, and realising that I have had a compromised immune system since I was a child (tonsils removed, appendix removed, annual bronchitis, partial removal of right kidney, cancer and so on) - I make it my first priority to keep my immune system as supported as I can. I recommend that everyone does this - whether or not you've had a serious illness. Bugs are everywhere, and it is not the bug that makes you sick, it is your weakened immune system that is unable to fight the bug that makes you sick.

It is so simple. So simple! Love your immune system, keep it boosted and you won't get ill. Nobody enjoys being sick and once we are sick we'll spend any amount of money on potions to get better - instead of these three simple things to keep you strong. Proactive vs reactive. Your body will thank you!

As another note, everybody's vitamin D levels are CHRONICALLY LOW. For some reason, the medical industry has lowered and lowered and lowered the healthy levels for Vitamin D. This is a big reason why people are getting so sick - not just infectious diseases, but also cancers. Our levels need to be roughly between 60 and 100 - whereas doctors are telling people that 30 is sufficient. IT IS NOT. And further, us South Africans think we're getting it from the sun - we are too far south to get the levels we need from the sun. Therefore we HAVE TO - HAVE TO - HAVE TO SUPPLEMENT!

Folks, your life may depend on this. If there's one thing you do, up your Vitamin D. Have your levels tested regularly so you know where you're at (if you go too high, it leaches calcium out of your bones, so you have to keep a beady eye). You're reading this and rolling your eyes and thinking 'what a schlepp' - trust me - having D levels checked and buying a small bottle for the whopping price of R190 that will last you a few months is soooooooooo much easier than getting sick and fighting for your life against cancer.

Take my word for it!

If you'd like to order some good quality supplements drop me a line.

Did you know, the air inside your home is more toxic than the air outside your home? When I first heard this it took me by surprise. Why would the air in our home be toxic? Now I am surprised that I was surprised - why wouldn't it be?

In our quest to 'sanitise' the world and our environment, we have actually achieved quite the opposite. People live in homes that are clean and sterile and we have removed ourselves from nature as we see it as 'dirty'. (I'll never forget when my daughter was young - 5 or 6 - I used to go to Tokai forest with a friend who had young boys of similar age. It was winter, cold, Taylor would take all her clothes of and jump in the river and play with the mud. She had a ball while the boys looked on - not even removing their shoes to tip toe into the river! They were constantly ill, whereas Taylor was robust and healthy, due to her body being in alignment with nature).

I even laugh every time I hear Americans refer to the earth as 'dirt'!

The earth is the very source of life. It is the source of our immune system. It is the source of our energetic grounding and calming of our nervous system. It provides all we need to be healthy and balanced. Yet we are turning our backs and walking further and futher away from Her, believing we are helping our children by wrapping them in cotton wool, but sadly the cotton wool we are wrapping them up is full of glyphosate and is the very thing that is killing them.

So, back to the point of my post. Why are our houses toxic?

Because we have built them with materials that are toxic.
We have filled them with furniture and plastics that are toxic.
We have painted the walls with paint that is toxic.
We have cleaning materials that are highly toxic.
Our carpets and beds house mites that are unhealthy.
Our children play with plastic toys that are toxic.
Our air fresheners, scented candles and mozzie repellants are full of toxins.
Our cookware and gas stoves are releasing toxins into the air.
Our water that we drink and bathe with is full of chemicals.
Our shoes pick up heavy metals and glyphosate and we walk this into our homes and cover the floors with the residues.
Electronic equipment is even toxic!
And this doesn't even start to cover the 'food' in our fridges and cupboards!

Is there any wonder why cancer and autoimmune conditions are skyrocketing?

There are usually two responses that I get from people when I share this information - they either shrug their shoulders and say 'well you're gonna die anyway so who cares' or 'that is so scary how does one even start to make changes, it is just too overwhelming!'.

To the first group I say yes, we are going to die, but wouldn't you rather live a long and healthy life and give that to your family and your beloved pets?

To the second group I say yes, it is scary and overwhelming, and we don't have to be a victim of our household toxins we can make better choices to protect ourselves.

So what are some simple things you can do?

~ Houseplants - these are natural air purifiers - the more the better!
~ Ventilate - keep windows open so the air can circulate
~ Get an air filter for your home
~ Switch to natural household cleaning products
~ Chuck out all artificial air fresheners and scented candles and use a natural essential oil diffuser instead
~ Take your shoes off and leave them at the front door
~ Keep dust to a minimum. The reason people have dust allergies is because the dust is full of a wide range of waste from mites, residue from electronics, microplastics and so on.
~ Use natural paints
~ Avoid cheap furniture made from manmade substances
~ Avoid plastic toys for children especially babies & toddlers who put these in their mouths
~ Do not use teflon cookware or airfryers
~ Install a water filter for your home

And MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL - GO OUTSIDE! If you're very separate from nature where you live, go to nature. Go somewhere you can breathe in air from trees and flowers. Take your shoes off! Get your toes into the mud. It is the most wonderfully regulating and connecting thing you can do. Turn your face to the sun and let it kiss you and the wind caress you. Jump in the ocean. Drop to your knees, put your hands on the earth and bow to her. Put her nose to her and breathe her in. She is our medicine.

When my dream comes true I'll have my own healing retreat sanctuary where I can bring women into the wild places and share the magic of nature with them. She is our most profound healer.

And if you'd like to learn more about how to protect yourself from toxins and bring health to your body, my 21 Day Toxin Awareness Challenge begins on 1st August. It is run on a whatsapp group, and each day I share a nugget of information about how to be aware of toxins, how to avoid them, how they affect our bodies and how to heal ourselves and the world. We are also doing a mini-detox in this program. There are still a few places available. R750 is the contribution to the program. Give yourself and your family the gift of health 🌟
