Spring, 2026
Spring in Alberta, Canada is really a mixture of all of the seasons; It might snow one day, have blue skies and sunshine the next, and then have a cloud cover and strong winds the next… or, all of these weather phenomenons can occur all in the same day! Weather inconsistencies aside, we can all feel that the spring season is here through the early morning birdsong, little blossoms blooming, the sun rising further to the north, and, if you’re an animal person, you’ll see your four-legged friends shedding their winter coats. This spring is extremely special at Isola, not only for the first release of our Your Season’s Collection…

The Dark Season: Autumn 2025
Welcoming November here at Isola means welcoming change – big change. Here in the Northern Hemisphere our lives change drastically when the season changes from summer to autumn/winter. We go through a personal physical and emotional ‘winterizing’, as well as a tangible winterizing of our properties. Physically, we tend to feel that we need a little more rest. But many of us also feel inspired to be in the gym more, or at a fitness or yoga class. It’s revitalizing to be in a social fitness environment. Emotionally, many of us start to look at the people in our lives: our loved ones, our new friends and long-time friends. Our…

SUMMER 2025
We’re 1/3 of the way through Summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, and our weather hasn’t been its typical warm and dry. Instead, it’s been dreamy, misty mornings and rainfall sporadically. We haven’t had to water the lawns or gardens, and there’s a dewiness to the air that I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced in Alberta. While this amount of rain has stressed some local farmers who are praying to get their crops nice and dry for harvest, for horse-people like myself its been lovely to watch my big boys enjoying the fresh grass that’s growing every day without turning them out to summer pasture. This summer has already…

High Summer
At the beginning of 2025, I found myself seated passenger on a long drive through the mountains with no mobile service, so I spent the time learning how to make a collage using photos from my phone. I’ve since made many little manifestation boards, or vision boards, and I use them as the background on my phone, or to share my inspirations on my social media. I’m happy to say that I’ve achieved many of the things that I put on my original 2025 board, and as a Summertime/half-year check-in, I’ve made a few alterations to the board. Our Summer is short and precious here in Alberta, but isn’t it…

Nourishing the Heart and Mind: 11 Herbalist-Approved Summer Habits
Welcome to July! As an Herbalist, I tend to celebrate the seasons based on the weather rather than the calendar, but all the same, we are officially in the summer season, and half way through the year. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the early summer is the season to nourish your heart, both physically and emotionally. Summer is known for the element of heat (which is why we all love it), but heat in excess or combined with excess, deficient or imbalanced moisture can put a literal ‘damper’ on the season. I’ve chosen 11 of my favourite summer habits that benefit the heart and the mind in the summer months. These…

We’re BLOOMING…
Have you seen the news? If you’re active on our social media, you would have seen that on February 21 – one month before the 2024 Spring Equinox – Isola Herbals as we had all grown to know went through a BIG and BEAUTIFUL change. We shed the last TEN YEARS of instagram posts, and we are blooming into the sturdy, strong blossom that the foundation of our brand has allowed us to be. What does this mean? Well, for starters, a little clarity on Isola Herbals: My name is Em, and I started Isola Herbals as a way to share what I was learning on my path to becoming…
