Meet Karin.

Karin Tredrea, founder of Spring Street Botanicals, is a bodyworker, community herbalist, and botanical skincare formulator in Healdsburg, California. Believing that food is medicine, she aspires to follow that throughout her own life as well as in her massage and herbal practices. Knowing that the skin, our largest organ, “eats” whatever we apply to it, she started creating organic, food-based skincare products in 2012 with her daughter, gifting them to friends and family, and sharing them at the Northern California Women's Herbal Symposiums. In 2020, after brainstorming sessions with friends to find the name and the logo, she created the brand, Spring Street Botanicals, and has been joyfully tending it from seed to flower these past years.

An avid student, she’s passionate about empowering health and wellness through self-care habits. Karin has studied numerous forms of bodywork over the past twenty-five years at schools in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Thailand. She dove into the ancient science of Ayurveda with DeAnna Batdorff in Sebastopol, California in 2012 and continues to take classes and workshops, grateful for the immense wisdom DeAnna shares. Most recently, she completed three years studying Western herbalism at the California School of Herbal Studies. These courses enhanced her understanding of the body and its many incredible systems. She has folded this education into her products as well as into her massage practice.

She views every client, whether for massage or herbal support, as an opportunity to further research and understand the journeys that we humans experience. Karin strives to create a grounded space for clients, allowing them to feel into their bodies and gain a better understanding of its systems, what works well, and what could use support. She offers remedies to enhance strengths and remedies to balance challenges. Believing that our lifestyle choices influence our wellness, she aspires to offer products that encourage making self-care a priority that can be easily woven into our daily lives. The joy of engaging with herbs is central to Karin’s happiness and she looks forward to sharing that passion with you.
