hi friend! i’m mkm, a cleveland-native taurean, born on earth day.

i spent almost twenty years on the east side of cleveland making natural goods for body & home (terra verde, the burning river candle co) and teaching social yoga events (balance & brews, the beer yogis national tours) before joining the world in the long pandemic pause in 2020. now, living and working in old brooklyn brings me back to the zipcode my dad’s family emigrated to generations ago, and my apothecary and studio space is just a long stone’s throw from the home where i spent my early childhood years.

i tend to my roots here, reviving my very first brand under the refresh of apothecary verde.

the apothecary and its studios and classroom is a space for mindful humans to slow down and connect over natural, small batch goods and practices fed to us from the earth. 

welcome.

💚, mkm
