About – The Maker
Maker & Reader is a small batch apothecary rooted in slow craft and intentional care.
I create each product by hand, working in small batches with thoughtfully chosen ingredients and time-honored methods. I’m drawn to the quiet rhythm of making, infusing herbs, refining blends, and letting each step unfold without rush.
The Maker is the one who works with their hands. The Reader is the one who pays attention.
This work lives in the space between the two. Where scent, texture, and ritual turn everyday care into something grounding and familiar.
Our Story
Maker & Reader began as a personal practice. A way to care for tired hands, sensitive skin, and the small moments that often get overlooked.
What started simply grew into a deeper appreciation for botanical traditions and intentional self-care. Each salve, oil, and blend is created not to be trendy or fast, but to be used. Used often, thoughtfully, and as part of daily life.
These products are meant for real hands and real routines. A moment of calm. A familiar scent. A quiet ritual woven into the ordinary.
Rooted in care. Made slowly. Meant to be used.
