Candace’s journey began in a small town in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, where she and her four siblings spent most of their time steeped in nature. Candace spent the much of her time exploring and observing the landscape around her. This ignited her passion for connecting with and learning about the native plants, which led her to pursue their potential as medicine. Alongside this curiosity, Candace developed a deep interest of stones and minerals, learning to attune to their subtle nature through personal study and meditation. This exploration eventually fostered a fascination with concept of Qi, leading her to practice Qi Gong with a local acupuncturist in 2018, where she began cultivating her own inner wisdom and understanding.
