Switch Witch
After becoming a mother in 2013, regular studio time became hard to come by. A part of my daily ritual during this early season of motherhood was taking my daughter on walks. I quickly became smitten with our surroundings and began experimenting with the floral and fauna of Interior Alaska as creative tools. During my daughter’s nap times, I began developing essences, salves and soaks as a new way of using my creativity and a way to connect and share with loved ones.
In 2023, I was invited by a fellow artist mother to create an original salt soak for a limited edition Mother’s Day care box. I’ve never looked back.
Today Switch Witch is a multi-sensory, body positive, clean beauty brand. Each scent story is hand-crafted in small batches in my studio in Homer, Alaska. I lean into my intuitive powers and creative nudges, a love of language and keen sense of smell. Through intentional processes, I create immersive sensory experiences through aromatics, plant material and folk magic. Switch Witch products are dynamic care for your body and spirit.
Perfect for anyone who believes “energy hygiene” is as important as clean hands. Elevate your hand washing and energy game with this potent synergy of palo santo, cedar wood atlas, clary sage and lavandin essential oils. Moisturizing and will not dry out your skin.

A man who smells good has my heart. I’m talking about skin warmed aromatics that lift and get caught at the nape of your neck after you hug. I’m talking about a head turn to see where that magic smell came from as you pass each other on the street. I’m talking about the “stay” in “staying on your mind” - -
It is subtle. It is sensual. It is M-A-G-N-E-T-I-C.
Warm notes of Himalayan cedar wood, sage, black spruce and patchouli will pull you in to his orbit again and again.

I wanted to create a formula that highlighted Black Seed oil. Allegedly, this is an oil that Cleopatra herself used as a part of her beauty rituals. Black seed oil dates to ancient times where it was used to maintain the health and well-being of many civilizations.

“Ready, S-t-e-a-d-y, GO !”
This is something my kids say when they are about to fling themselves into a new experience or challenge.
They gather all their courage and shout at the top of their lungs, “Ready?…S-T-E-A-D-Y…GO !!” taking off in a burst towards the direction of the great unknown.
I love hearing them say it, it’s different than the branded saying I grew up on, “Ready, SET, go!” I like theirs infinitely better. Swapping “steady” for “set” is a nice nudge to get still and centered before you fire off towards that next thing. Gather yourself, you know? Get clear, get grounded.

I grew up taking night time dips during the hot Texas summers. There aren’t many things that beat slipping into cool waters after a hundred percent humidity and high temperature day. I’m pretty sure it’s listed somewhere under “activities to restore your spirit.” These late night dips, often in the hill country, accompanied by night sounds of crickets and frogs became my muse. The inspiration of the scent for this product is in the memory I have of the pockets of fragrant air that would breeze in out during those nighttime swims.
