Hi! I'm Kristina

THE UNTAMED ALCHEMIST
Founder. Farmer. Formulator. Facilitator. Herbalist. Aromatherapist. Mother Earth Chemist. 

When someone asks me what I do, I always wonder how much time they have for the answer. "Herbalist, aromatherapist, grower, distiller, formulator, and Mother Earth chemist" doesn't even roll off my tongue and requires a fair amount of further explanation, but calling myself an "alchemist" shuts a conversation down entirely.

 

I began identifying as The Untamed Alchemist® in 2012 when my attention turned more formally to growing my medicine garden, expanding my herbal/aromatic business, deepening my relevant knowledge, and perfecting associated formulas.

 

I consider myself an alchemist because my work involves intimate engagement with natural materials that are transformed by my hand first into natural ingredients and then into pure, premium products that feature their benefits.

 

In the thirty years since I first began my study in the fields that inform my work at Untamed Alchemy, I've had thousands of hours of formal, quality, accredited education and worked with revered educators and institutions in herbal medicine. aromatherapy, and natural cosmetic formulation.

When I'm not at my Farmers' Market at Sandpoint booth in the "high season," I'm often focused in my garden, distillation temple, or blending studio. In the wider days of spring and autumn, I expand into other loves like cooking, baking, and hiking. In winter, I busy myself with the administration of the previous season and shift to handcrafts like sewing, stitching, and knitting while I imagine and set up the coming year's garden, products, and events. No matter the season, I am always creating something.

You'll find my mark on everything at Untamed Alchemy from inception to sourcing, design, formulation, production, and marketing. I thoughtfully plant seeds, tend perennials, water beds & pots, and collect materials for infusion and distillation on my farm; these precious materials go into products I crafted, formulated, and tested. My hands thoughtfully measure and stir every ingredient in each small batch—and my hands lovingly attach the labels I've designed to the products I've made to surprise, delight, and help you.

 

I care deeply about YOUR EXPERIENCE OF MY CREATIONS.  It's my hope that something in my work inspires or improves something for you.
