Emily Cavelier is an herbalist, wellness coach, and chef living and working in New York City since 2003. In 2011, after many years of apprenticing in herbal practice and developing a wellness and nutritional philosophy rooted in deep physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, Emily launched her consulting business, Nourishing Root, with the mission of helping people connect to the natural state of health and joy in their bodies and minds so they can live better, happier lives.
As we move into a more chaotic and uncertain world with much rising to the surface for transformation, self care and community connection are even more valuable in order to maintain calm compassion in the face of challenge. It is my hope that as we connect more with Mama Earth and her rhythms, we will remember our role as care-givers and step into stewards’ shoes. It is my hope that instead of disconnecting from our bodies to cope that we may travel down deep, choosing to be embodied, to live in our bodies and to treat our bodies well.
The Alchemist's Kitchen is a new and unique destination in the Bowery. More than a botanical dispensary and a whole plant tonic bar serving elixirs and healthy treats, we are a gateway into a conscious lifestyle and community through our plant-based products, wellness events and transformational workshops.
