Why White Pine?

As a native species to Georgia, the Eastern White Pine with its medicinal, ecological and symbolic value, serves as the noble namesake of this Georgia-based therapy practice. 

The White Pine is a symbol of growth, resilience and strength, healing and connectivity. 

The Eastern White Pine is the largest conifer in the eastern North America that can grow up to 100 feet tall and its trunk can grow as large as 4 feet.

The White Pine has many medicinal qualities, with needles high in vitamin C, nuts high in essential minerals, and sap with strong antimicrobial properties.  The Ojibwe (Chippewa) people used pine resin to successfully treat infections and even gangrenous wounds.  The White Pine serves as a one-stop shop for immunity boosting compounds.
