I believe healing is holistic, collective, messy, and creative. It's a spiral... upward and, at times, downward.

My own healing dances upon a foundation of music, art, herbs, and somatic practices. You'll find the names of my offerings to be inspired by the artists who have carried me: Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, David Bowie, Queen, and others.

Shifa is the Arabic word for healing. Shifa is the name of the hospital in Gaza, where my relatives struggle daily for life and dignity. My Choctaw, Lebanese, and Irish ancestries and traditions inform my everyday life and the items you'll find in my shop. I strive to honor Earth Mother with organic, ethical ingredients and sustainable packaging.

I honor the light and shadow in myself and in you. May these offerings create a warm place of healing and relationship for you and your communities.

Shifa Apothecary is lovingly founded by Durga, a lebanese/indigenous mama seeking ways to support communal wellbeing. Durga’s ancestral roots run deep throughout the land of Cana’an (Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria), Turtle Island (Choctaw lands), and Ireland.

20% of all sales go directly to the Middle Eastern Children’s Alliance (mecaforpeace.org) to bring urgent, critical aid to the children of Palestine and Lebanon; and mutual aid for families of both lands as organized by River Rose Remembrance.

we stand in absolute solidarity with our Palestinian and Lebanese relatives.
