Hello, I am Talitha Kotze, Co-owner of All Things Earthly. My business partner, friend and sister Diane and I dreamt up ATE in 2019 and opened our doors post first lock down in July 2020. It was the answer to a call that had been beckoning in our bones for years. Not only did want to build a shop where we could find clean, healthy, organic food, we wanted to create a community where we could share our love and passion for the bio individuality each person requires on their unique health journey.
At the time my daughter Summer was almost 3 and my little boy Noah had just turned 1. I was still breastfeeding but I had made the transition from Maiden to Mother. This momentous initiation brought a huge amount of drive, focus and dedication to my actions. I became responsible for two little humans and I didn’t take that lightly.
Before I returned to Cape Town (where I was born and bred) to have my babies, I lived in Scotland for many years. I had a career in the Arts, I was an avid half marathon runner, cyclist and CrossFit athlete. I travelled extensively.
With Motherhood came change and a huge reverence for nature, the cycles of life, the intelligence that we receive from the earth through the food that we eat, and a deepening of my spiritual connection.
I recently embarked on a vision quest which led me to study Rose Shamanism and I am now a qualified practitioner. Just as everything on earth carries a unique energetic vibration, Roses carry one of the purest and highest frequencies known in nature’s plant kingdom, vibrating at 320 MHz (the human body vibrates between 62-78 MHz). Rose medicine is a heart opener and anchored in the Divine Feminine, but it can also cool the nervous system, conjure up cellular memories and bring profound insight on a woman’s path.
I am forever a student at the feet of Mother Nature.
