About

Bud & Blossom provides holistic wellness coaching and support to people as they transform their health and their lives.

Bud & Blossom is helmed by Heather Dagley, wellness coach and cold water immersion guide. By combining education on holistic tools (such as hemp, cold water & nature exposure, meditation, and more) with practical tips and support, Bud & Blossom helps you achieve a balanced mind, body, and spirit.

The name “Bud & Blossom” signifies the growth, transformation, and healing that is available to us through whole-body healing and was inspired by the following quote:

Why Bud & Blossom?

There are many factors in today’s world that are contributing to poor health for many people. We are out of balance… and it shows in our declining collective health outcomes.

When the standard approach isn’t effective, people are seeking alternative health solutions. Many people are interested in using plant medicine, CBD, and hemp/cannabis to improve their situation - but they don’t know everything they need to get started. They’ve heard that CBD may be able to address the symptoms they’re experiencing, and yet they’re left wondering: Where do I buy CBD? What are the best brands? How much should I take? How often? When? How does cannabis work in the body? These are just some of the common questions asked, but there are many, many more.

With the support of Bud & Blossom, clients are able to take their plant medicine routine, health, and wellness into their own hands. All coaching programs are designed to help people balance their endocannabinoid system, aka the ECS, which is the largest communication and harm-reduction network in the human body. 

By focusing on the ECS, I guide clients to approaches that will bring balance and ease into their lives. My coaching foundation is that a healthy ECS supports a healthy body. And that means a healthier life!

Through balancing your ECS tone, we strengthen your body's core processes so that you can reduce pain and burden and live a life of balance and ease. You will walk away from these coaching programs with a solidified understanding of how cannabis supports the ECS, the reason ECS efficiency is vital to your health, & how you can improve ECS tone through cannabis medicine, food, movement, breathing, and more.

Wellness Coaching

I work with clients to explore ways to strengthen the ECS, from hemp to other non-cannabis options including movement, nutrition, cold-water plunging, breathwork, and more.

My ideal client is, well, anyone who’s interested in using holistic healing to propel their life and would like some guidance along the journey! I work with people who are interested in leveraging cannabis wellness and holistic practices on their path to better health and better living.

I can help stressed-out parents or employees, people living with chronic or acute symptoms, or anyone interested in trying a new approach to their overall wellness.

A note from Heather

It all started when…

Bud & Blossom was born out of my own experience with cannabis and holistic healing. I call it my cannabis transformation!

Before I started using cannabis medicinally, I was in poor health. My body was out of balance, I was achy and anxious all of the time, and I was using alcohol frequently to suppress my stress and dissatisfaction. Guess what… that totally didn’t work!

But then, I began my medical cannabis journey. This was the catalyst for positive change in my life, one that allowed me to regain my health, connect to other healthy lifestyle choices, and become the brightest version of myself once again.

My journey into holistic healing

Once I started feeling better through a combination of combining cannabis and other holistic practices, I thought, well… I just have to share this with other people! This is why I have spent the last 4 years learning about the cannabis plant, supporting the cannabis and wellness industries, and pursuing continuing education in this field.

Over the past several years, I have served as a budtender, and in this role I received my Medical Marijuana Consultant Certification. I then served as a content writer for a cannabis education company. Then, during the swells of the pandemic, I pursued my cannabis coaching certification from the Cannabis Coaching Institute. I received my certification in February 2021 and started coaching. I have since deepened my holistic health skills by becoming a certified cold water immersion guide and yoga teacher.

I serve clients seeking support along their own holistic health journey. I can guide people through the ins-and-outs of holistic wellness and share all the things I have learned along my own wellness transformation.

My big “why”

I do what I do because I love health and wellness, but also because I love people. And good health supports people. I’m honored to help clients connect with holistic tools when they need it most.

How does hemp fit in?

Throughout my life, I’ve looked around and noticed that, well, people could use a little help. We could all use some meaningful support to help us reduce the burdens we face. And, I’ve come to find out that cannabis – that oft-slandered, smelly, green plant – can help us to reduce burdens, whether that be pain, inflammation, stress, grief, chronic conditions, or other. From supporting people’s physiology to expanding one’s spirituality, cannabis is truly a wonderful tool. It’s a tool that ought to be wielded wisely… and that’s where a coach comes in!

As a coach, I’ve developed a method for using CBD and hemp to help people feel better. Through activation of the endocannabinoid system, cannabinoids can help us restore balance in our bodies, which has positive downstream results for pretty much every other bodily system. And, once my clients have been able to use cannabis to help them feel better, they have the opportunity to chase so much more in life. They can return to whatever activities and pursuits provide them with fulfillment and make them smile.

By connecting them to the power of the plant, and providing coaching and loving support along the way, I help my clients step toward their vision for their life. I also incorporate other holistic healing methods into my coaching programs and guide people toward other habits that can support a renewed & healthier lifestyle. I work with clients to develop a positive mindset, find time to get out in nature, and understand how intentional breathwork, energy-rich nutrition, and routine movement can help to support the health of their endocannabinoid system.

Whether we connect in person or you just end up finding some helpful info on my blog, I truly hope that Bud & Blossom can be of service to you. May it give you the information and the permission you need to take your health into your own hands.
