Welcome to the Honeycomb Cottage MN, where nature's harmony meets healing. My journey with bee therapy began as a quest for solace from the fatigue of an autoimmune condition, coaching wrestling, and working on our homestead. Dealing with constant nervous system fatigue and heart strain, I sought a deeper connection with nature to find balance and tranquility.
Grounding, tuning into nature's frequencies and being a Functional Patterns practitioner led me to discover the benefits of bee therapy, and I was fascinated by the synchronicity between bee vibrations and the Earth's resonance. This connection sparked a passion to share the soothing hum and calming vibrations of bees with others.
With the support and guidance of experienced beekeepers and mentors like Joel Lantz in Skandia, MI, Charlie and Carolyne at Capella Ranch in Lafayette, CO. As well as our partnership with Hailey Kisch of Big Sky Acres in Shafer, MN and Mike Mackiewicz of Bone Lake Meadows Apiary in Scandia, MN.
With the help and expertise of all of these people, we designed the Honeycomb Cottage to offer a unique and immersive bee therapy experience. Our cozy haven is dedicated to helping others find peace, relaxation, and connection with nature's rhythms, just as I have.
Join us for a truly buzzing experience, and let the gentle vibrations of our bee friends envelop you in serenity and calmness.

After trying everything western medicine had to offer to address years of chronic back pain and fatigue I found Functional Patterns. Within a year, I was able to overcome more than a decade of crippling back pain and an addiction to painkillers.
Training at Functional Patterns Minnesota exposed me to concepts like quantum biology and seasonal living to address inflammation and degeneration. This led me to connect with nature, plants, and insects, and adopt a seasonal, locally-sourced diet.
Consuming raw local honey even helped me overcome years of allergies! Inspired by the healing powers of bees, I'm now exploring their vibrations and host of benefits.
As a former special education teacher I was struggling just to find the energy to get through the day. Now, I am vibrant, energized, resilient, and ready to take on the journey of sharing a newfound passion for nature and wellness with others.
I am able to do this through the Honeycomb Cottage and by hosting and attending courses by Maria Wesserle of Four Season Foraging as well as being a guide to teach the next generation with Anthony and Melissa Ulrich at Forest Lake Nature School. Additionally, I am a Practitioner at both Functional Patterns White Bear Lake and Functional Patterns Minnesota.
