Be Mine Botanicals began like many good love stories - with curiosity.
Our Story
Founder Suzy Frigo began exploring herbalism as a way to better understand and care for herself while living with a chronic illness. She wasn’t seeking to replace modern medicine - she wanted to work alongside it. Her goal was to become an active participant in her own health and wellness.
So, like many herbalists-in-the-making, she began listening. To her body. To the plants. To ancestral wisdom and modern science alike. What started as a personal path gradually blossomed into a calling. Suzy has completed numerous educational paths in herbal medicine and holistic wellness including clinical herbalism, reproductive health and midwifery, trauma-informed care, and inclusive approaches to healing.
There were years of dedicated study, clinical training, fieldwork, and hands-on apprenticeships alongside countless hours of research, formulation practice, and mentorship. Through all of it, one truth became clear: herbalism is not just about plants. It’s about people. It’s about relationship, communities, and remembering what it means to be truly cared for with knowledge, presence, and heart.
Be Mine Botanicals is a heart-led blend of traditional herbal wisdom and evidence-based practice. We offer clinical care and herbal education for every stage of life: from babyhood to elderhood, from curious beginners to professional herbalists.
This work is our love letter to you, to the plants, and to the deep magic of thoughtful care.
