ROOTED IN THE RHYTHM OF CYCLES AND SEASONS
Hi, I’m Brooke, the creator and designer behind Analog Nature.
Analog Nature is a cyclical creative and well-being studio creating small-batch, artisan-crafted botanical goods and seasonal education that help people root into natural rhythms.
I began this work through a desire to better understand my menstrual cycle. For years, I had painful periods and cycle-related anxiety. Topical, pure botanical blends became a powerful support, helping me shift my relationship to my cycle from something I tried to push through into something I could listen to, learn from, and tend to with care.
Over time, that personal shift widened into a broader practice. I began using botanicals as allies, and ritual as a way of returning to the slower intelligence of cyclical living. The more I slow down and return to nature, the more I return to myself and to my connection with the ecosystems and landscapes I am part of.
The name Analog Nature is a reminder of our innate connection to presence, and to being in our bodies as a tactile experience that can only live in natural timing. Analog Nature lives at the intersection of well-being and creativity, and it is my ongoing thesis, approached through an anthropological lens that honors the wisdom in nature when we make space to listen and co-create with it.
My intention is to offer goods and stories that support well-being and creative agency, and that invite more presence, reciprocity, and connection with the living world and with one another.

Our workflow
EXPERT CRAFTED PURE BOTANICALS
Our blends are developed with clinical aromatherapists and naturopathic physicians to foster harmony with your inner seasons and cycles, as well as the broader natural rhythms. Our Oregon based medical board of advisors includes, Naturopath Dr. Kelcie and Certified Clinical Aromatherapist Caryn who has been practicing the craft for over 30 years. We hand‑blend and bottle everything in Oregon. All of our botanicals are third‑party tested to ensure they contain no synthetic fragrances or pesticide residues.
ETHICALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS
We ethically source all of our pure essential oils and organic carrier oils. We work with trusted farms, distillers, and co-ops and prioritize strong traceability, consistent quality, and responsible practices. We love sourcing local when it makes sense, and we also source globally because many plants create their best chemistry in native regions and traditional growing climates.
COMMUNITY CONNECTION
We are always learning from one another and the Earth we're part of. We value growth that emerges through community, cooperation, and inspiration. This reciprocal approach helps us care for ourselves, others, and our planet. Our Almanac shares seasonal wisdom from healing arts practitioners and creatives, while our seasonal workshops create spaces for people to connect with each other and with nature.
CREATIVE COLLABORATION
We collaborate with global creators to create art pieces inspired by their experiences with our botanicals and cyclical rhythms. Our focus is on working with creators dedicated to handmade, heart-centered work inspired by nature.
