About Treenie Thyme
Welcome, I am so glad you found your way here. I am Katherine Sumner, the founder of Treenie Thyme, and I believe a truly vibrant life unfolds when we learn to nourish, create, play, and notice.
My journey began with barefoot childhood days climbing trees and swimming in the ocean, where I first learned to notice the quiet rhythms of the earth. But my true devotion caught fire during summers on my grandparents' farms. I was fascinated watching my Granddaddy Luttrell effortlessly name every plant on his land. Years later, my Aunt Martha gifted me a book of his handwritten recipes, revealing that his Tennessee community relied on him for healing—a sacred lineage passed down from my great-great-grandmother, Phoebe. Today, Treenie Thyme is the living continuation of that ancestral wisdom.
For over twenty years, I have walked the path of integrative health. Grounded in my studies of holistic nutrition, herbalism, yoga, and meditation, my passion is to empower you to remember the medicine of the earth.
To support your alignment, I craft small-batch remedies designed to help you nourish your body and create a beautiful space for joy. From seasonal restorative teas to our vibrational flower essences, "Dewdrops," each offering invites you to play with nature's abundance and begin to notice the magical world around you. They are woven together to bring mindful moments and an intentional pause back to your daily rhythm.
True healing ripples outward when we come together.
Through community partnerships and my group offerings ~
"A Thyme to Gather" ~ I love collaborating with fellow educators, practitioners, and retreat organizers. I am always open to new ways we can weave our wisdom together and empower others.
