Welcome to the online world of Mamoon Remedies and Juniper Moon Sanctuary…

It all started with a sprig of Juniper and a desire to heal myself, my child, and share what I’ve learnt with others. The product of this desire is this website/online store, Juniper Moon Sanctuary, located in the high desert close to Joshua Tree National Park, California, and now a series of offerings and experiences with a new home, in West Sussex, UK. After 12 years of plant research and offering and creating healing experiences, I’m ready to share my process and passion with you all.

Everything on this site, is a tool, that I feel offers something, to those called to it. Juniper as a plant, represents new beginnings, purification, protection and even records, and is even affected by, our cosmos. What Juniper has taught me? Transcending, the ability to rise above your current circumstance, is a lot easier with the right tools and it needs to be done with/in nature.

Juniper Moon Sanctuary

I have been incredibly fortunate to welcome the most beautiful humans onto the land at Juniper Moon Sanctuary, since beginning to host in October 2017. When I acquired the land, I promised the universe I would continue to study the healing properties of these hardy desert plants and share that knowledge and the medicine of them with others. Airbnb was a way for me to continue to fix up the property and continue transforming it into a DIY apothecary and nature spa. However, what I have realized is, it is my guests who have come, left a piece of their spirit, stayed in touch, and/or returned, that make this place the sanctuary it truly is. Many of my guests have come to relax, ease their anxieties, and spend time in nature. It is my guests and community who have inspired me continue on the plant healing journey and often have helped me create these remedies. I continue to perfect the recipes and study the plants. My hope is that my guests and extended Juniper moon family build relationships with the land and themselves through the rituals and remedies prepared here. I continue to do this from afar now, but hope to one day, reoccupy the space for it’s original intention.

Herbalism

We all have the power to heal ourselves. We just need to spend time in nature and resting our minds, in order to find the answers of “how to” that lay within us. I make tinctures, soaps, infused oils, face masks, body scrubs, massage bars, and continue to learn more. I built my first apothecary in 2017 and have brought my knowlege with me to the english countryside. One of the most important remedies I’ve developed is the art of preparing and creating a ritual bath which I hope to build up to doing again, as they are incredibly powerful. Ritual baths help to cleanse and rejuvenate the body and the spirit. Couples can give them to each other to let go of past patterns and invite healthy new ones. Individuals can use the bath, ie the element of water, to empower the self by letting go of negative past patterns and being clear with the universe about what direction to move forward.

Everything is a work in progress and what I would like to call “an experience” or “tool” rather than product or something that isn’t dynamic for each person. Once we are able to make the connection that the invisible is real, we can draw from this power, to create the world we wish to live in. I hope to do that with you.

As I continue designing plant-based experiences, my aim is to deepen my knowledge of local plants—how we can use, protect, and bring them to life in ways that inspire stewardship of the land. I want to create fully customizable experiences and remedies that reflect each client and season, allowing me to share the richness of plant cosmologies in meaningful, personal ways. I'm committed to expanding multi-sensory offerings through the Baresense Project, creating accessible programs designed for and with visually impaired communities—but welcoming to all. Above all, I hope to keep making spaces, like Juniper Moon, where people feel safe, calm, and supported enough to access their own healing intelligence.

Whatever brought you here, I am grateful. I began Mamoon Remedies and Juniper Moon Sanctuary as a way to heal my own wounds, transforming personal suffering into a journey of restoration. Sharing this work is part of my ongoing healing process, and I’m deeply grateful that you’ve chosen to join me on this path. Your presence enriches this shared journey toward a brighter, more soulful future and I have a passion for helping you do the same.

All the good things,
