Hi! I'm Briana — village wisewoman, herbalist, allergen-free chef, and relentless builder of things that help people thrive.

Right now I'm based in Renton, Washington, where I'm doing two things simultaneously: launching Rainroot Apothecary and building the Rainroot Resiliency Node — right here on half an acre in the suburbs.

Rainroot Apothecary is my small-batch, plant-based body and home care line rooted in traditional herbalism and radical ingredient transparency. Think slow-infused herbal salves, whipped body butters, hot-process soaps, conditioning shampoo bars, shave soap, lotion bars, and dish soap bars that actually work — all handcrafted with herbs I grow, wildcraft, or source and a deep commitment to knowing exactly what's in everything. Because allergens are no joke, and you deserve to know what you're putting on your body.

The Resiliency Node is the bigger picture: a living laboratory for regenerative, community-rooted living — tested here on half an acre, and eventually scaled to a 105-acre organic farm and conservation forest in Home, Washington. Quail, herb gardens, compost systems, rainwater collection, duckweed, mutual aid, and a whole lot of learning out loud. If it works here, it'll work anywhere.

Your support — whether through the shop or Patreon — helps make all of it real. Come build with us.
