About
A small organic herbal skincare and wellness house
Empress Roots is rooted in a deep knowledge of herbs and holistic wellness. Erin founded the company to help people connect with their bodies and with nature through clean, effective botanicals.
Erin Locke
Herbalist, Reiki master, mother, beekeeper
Every product is handmade and infused with the healing benefits of Reiki energy. Erin is a Level III Reiki master/practitioner. For years her focus has been plants, herbs, the earth, and wholesome healing foods.
She always says “food is medicine” — and by food she means anything you put in your body or on your skin. Our skin is our largest breathing organ. That is why these formulas lean on plant allies.
When she is not growing, wild-crafting, teaching, or formulating, Erin is raising her daughter, exploring beekeeping, traveling, and supporting other small businesses.
Blessed Love, Erin
