✨ Meet Jo from Herbadashery
At Ruby Lane, we believe wellness is about more than what’s on your plate — it’s about building a community that supports and inspires healthier living every day. Each month, we introduce you to one of our favourite local wellness experts to help guide your journey. This month, we sat down with ” Jo”, founder of “Herbadashery” in Brookvale, who is passionate about empowering others in discovering how they can integrate herbal remedies into their everyday life.
🌱 Quick Q&A with Jo
1. What inspired you to start Herbadashery?
Jo shares how a chance encounter with a 150-year-old herbal pharmacy in Edinburgh sparked a fascination with natural medicine. Working as an accountant at the time, she was captivated by the on-site herbal remedy making — and when she returned to Sydney, she followed that spark and began studying herbs.
2. For someone new to herbal healing, where’s a good place to start?
Beginners can start with tinctures or simply by growing herbs at home or in a community garden.
3. What are 2-3 herbs everyone should have at home?
She recommends lemon balm as a great first herb — it’s easy to grow, hard to kill, and offers both calming and uplifting benefits, especially when used fresh.
4. Who mostly comes to see you?
Mix of clients — from babies with reflux to teens dealing with anxiety or skin issues. Many women seek support for hormonal health, while older men often come for prostate care. She frequently works with people managing digestion, stress, sleep, and immune balance, noting how effective herbal medicine can be, even in short sessions.
5. One piece of advice you’d give for anyone wanting to live healthier naturally?
Jo says she’ll always champion herbal bitters — a natural powerhouse that’s often overlooked. Taken before meals, they can boost digestion, support liver health, regulate blood sugar, and more. Plus, when blended into a mocktail or daily ritual, they’re both functional and enjoyable.
