hi friend! i’m mkm, a cleveland-native taurean, born on earth day.

i spent almost twenty years on the east side of cleveland making natural goods for body & home (terra verde, the burning river candle co) and teaching social yoga events (balance & brews, the beer yogis national tours) before joining the world in the long pandemic pause in 2020. now, living and working in old brooklyn brings me back to the zipcode my dad’s family emigrated to generations ago, and my apothecary and studio space is just a long stone’s throw from the home where i spent my early childhood years.

i tend to my roots here, reviving my very first brand under the updated name apothecary verde. the old brooklyn studio also welcomes my society verde travel community, offering us space to connect stateside and share the inspiration we bring home from our global travels. various guest teachers and guides, offering functional creativity workshops and wellness and movement-based practices, will also share in the studio at apothecary verde.

though currently operating by appointment and event only, the apothecary and studio verde is a space for mindful humans to slow down and connect over natural, small batch goods and practices fed to us from the earth. 

welcome. 💚, mkm
