It is my honor to offer support in your key moments, a bit of ritual and ceremony.
Births, weddings, and any life event that needs marking and recognition - poppysol farm and I - we are here to hold space.

Licensed by the State of NC I am so happy to help you create the marriage ritual that fits you and your partner and to serve as an officiate. poppysol farm can be a space for a small intimate ceremony or I am happy to officiate anywhere of your choosing.
Kind words: “Hannah officiated our small intimate backyard wedding ceremony in May. She also provided the flowers from her magical garden. Our wedding was calm, heartfelt, natural, and warm. Hannah perfectly honored this sacred day for us and we will treasure the experience for a lifetime.” - L + W

The portal of new life is truly magical and one that I am so honored to walk side by side with families. We work together for a total of three months-starting in your third trimester, through the birth, and one month post-birthing experience. In those months I do the following:
Learn with great curiosity in a judgement free space about your birth plans;
Attend your birth with present, hands on guidance;
Act as an advocate for you and your wishes during the birth as well as a respite for other caregivers;
Check-in with you and your family once the baby is home to see how the integration process is going for all;
And, of course, offer herbal supports along the way!
Kind words: “We recently worked with Hannah as our doula and herbalist during our first pregnancy. After working together to set intentions, Hannah crafted a custom tea for us both and a tincture for Dad. Our nightly tea ritual was incredibly supportive and healing throughout our pregnancy, and Hannah was able to adjust the blend according to our needs (including a daytime version so that Mom could sip team from morning to night!). We visited Hannah's beautiful land for a farm tour where we experienced the plants that were supporting us. Being able to see, smell and touch the plants that had become so important to us was very special. Hannah's home and farm are warm and peaceful, and represent just how thoughtful Hannah is in all of her work.
Having Hannah in the room during our labor was invaluable. She was a grounding force who reminded us of our power and the healing of our herbal supports, while also advocating for us to others. From smudge sticks to floral arrangements, our labor and delivery room was transformed into an intentional space that allowed our son to come earth side with grace.
To know that we were being so supported by Hannah and by the plants grown on her land undoubtedly changed our pregnancy journey.” - E + M

Together we can create the ritual that suits you and what you are experiencing. Working with loss, change, seasons … you name it, we make meaning of it and honor it. The land and the botanicals here are available as support, as participants in ritual.
