PUER Origin

PUER was born from the years I spent trying to hold everything and everyone together.

For much of my life, I was the one loving an addict — believing that if I could care enough, fix enough, hold on tight enough, everything would be okay. When my first marriage ended, I found myself repeating familiar patterns in a new relationship. I began a journey of return, but life had more to teach me.

I was met with a near-fatal accident — sudden, disorienting, and humbling. I felt like an imposter in my own body, swaying between deep gratitude and waves of despair and anger. I could barely care for myself. My mother and daughter began tending to me with care and essential oils — small acts of love that brought comfort when little else could. Their care reminded me of what was real: presence, intention, connection, and love.

During that season, PUER came to me as a vision. PUER means “child” in Latin — a reminder of the part of the soul that still hopes, still dreams, and still remembers wonder.  The person we were before the world told us who to be. At the time, I imagined bringing the oils forward under that name, but I kept the vision quietly tucked away — not yet knowing how fully it would live through me.

The years that followed were full of unravelings and returns. I later remarried and lived as the wife of an addict until I finally understood what it meant to truly surrender — to release control and trust something larger. That surrender marked the beginning of true healing. It was then I knew PUER no longer belonged quietly inside me; it was a living current — one that wanted to breathe life into others.

Today, PUER carries that pulse: to return again and again to love, truth, intention, and presence. What began as a family’s ritual of care has become a living practice — an invitation to remember that hope and wholeness still live within you.

Here, you’ll find four pathways that mirror the rhythms of my own healing — Return, Awaken, Remember, and Rise — each one a way to meet yourself where you are, to move from survival into vibrance, and to live in harmony with your own unfolding.
