MARISSA SEARLE

first and foremost is a mom to 3 incredible children, and runs and operates Old Thyme Acres, a small hobby farm in Black Forest, where she holistically raises mini Nubian goats, chickens, and Estrela Mountain Dogs.  

She loves hunting, fishing, hiking, and digging her heals in the dirt while watching the sunrise every morning. She loves our Lord and is following her God given purpose.  

Professionally she is a nutrition coach, herbalist, organic product formulator, licensed botanical aesthetician and holistic skin therapist. She is certified in various holistic modalities such as Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Micro-Current, and Micro- Channeling. She is also a currently in school preparing to get her Massage Therapy License.

Her launch of the Lavender and Thyme Apothecary in early 2023, in a 1950’s-era cabin in the heart of Black Forest, Colorado was “the realization of a vision,” and has put her in a position to improve people’s lives on a daily basis via natural products and hands-on treatment. Her approach to health combines a deep appreciation for the “old ways” with state-of-the-art technology and access to therapies that were as yet undiscovered in agrarian times. “I’m 100% committed to natural therapies with nothing artificial allowed, and am interested in true healing … treating root causes of problems instead of merely addressing symptoms.”

Marissa is amazing, she is patient as she answers my questions.

I had an ion foot bath and will be going regularly now to detox my body and heal naturally. Seriously so blessed to have discovered this.

Marissa’s pursuit of a holistic way of life began in her late teens when she began competitive weightlifting and bodybuilding (eschewing the many popular but highly damaging nutritional/medicinal shortcuts) and her interest in herbal treatments and remedies can be traced back to the birth of her youngest daughter.  

Marissa’s treatment arsenal includes Micro-Current, Micro-Channeling, Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatments, customized botanical facial and body treatments, facial & foot reflexology, redlight and blue-light therapy, PEMF therapy, IonCleanse foot detox, Gua Sha, cupping, and more.  

So why the skin, as opposed to any other area of care?

“It’s the first thing we see from the body telling us there’s something wrong, and holds the key to helping people with so many existing or potential health issues. It’s a passion for me, and I’m excited to actually see my work making a difference in my lives of all who step foot inside my little cabin.”
