ABOUT MAINE SOL BOTANICALS
The Person and Products of Maine Sol Botanicals
Hello there. I'm Katie Sol DeLorme, alchemist behind of all the botanical products you see in this shop.
Born and raised in coastal towns of Maine, I developed a deep connection to Mother Earth and everything outdoors. As an adult this led to studies in health care as a physical therapist, with a unique focus on patient education in self-care and healing. Over time, seeing the limits of traditional medicine, I took a deeper dive into holistic health with certification at both University of Southern Maine and Duke, University to become an Integrative Health Coach. With this eye toward natural approaches to health, I studied organic gardening, became trained in permaculture principles and became a beekeeper. Many of my original recipes were influenced by Way of the Earth, a primitive skills school, in Blue Hill, Maine. Much of this knowledge comes from indigenous people from around the world. I've earned an herbalist certification through Earthwalk School of Herbal Traditions of Rockport, Maine. I am inspired by the power of plants and the gifts of Mother Nature.
For years I’ve made gifts of organic herbal teas (tisanes) salves, lip balms and other herbal remedies from my organic gardens. I also offer classes to mentor others about this power of nature.
The start-up of Maine Sol Botanicals is a natural evolution of this joyful journey to bring this wisdom and these products to an expanding community.
