Unfortunately I didnt get the warm and inviting feel while there, it felt very stagnate and kinda listless. Maybe they just need to cleanse?Not to mention, it didnt help that the person who greeted us was not wearing a mask the entire time we were in there.
Warm, inviting and like family. A great place to give and receive accurate readings. Absolutely wonderful ✨🙏✨
This placed changed my life! Such welcoming and supportive people. They helped me find herbs to heal my health issues and have a lovely community where I made meaningful friendships.
I love this place! The owner always knows the answers to my many questions, has the herbs I need or can get them for me quickly, knows what rocks to wear, goes out of her way to keep the prices completely reasonable and the help accessible, and the vibe of the place is laid back and instructional. Good magick! Shop here!
I love this place. Great teas with re-vitalizing properties. A hostess with the mostest proprietress who has certification in the use of naturopathic herbs. Beautiful, hand-crafted tools for meditation, and calming the spirit. You stop in for a minute & stay longer than you thought.
Favorite go-to place for herbs, essential oils, extracts, tea blends, crystals and even get a tarot reading! The master herbalist is extremely knowledgeable, and all the volunteers are so friendly and helpful! LOVE this place!!!
This place is amazing. Definitely our go to place for herbs. Folks are so helpful and knowledgeable.
This is not some cheesy shop that caters to image. Heart and soul you can tell when you walk in that this shop is a labor of love. The owner is invested in her craft, and it shows. From the various herbs and extracts to the finer touches, this shop has an energy that hits you the moment you walk in. Friendly staff, knowledgable, and fair prices make this a top pick in the Selwood District. You would be missing out if you did not stop by and visit this little gem in the heart of a vibrant supportive community...thank you for a great experience. My lady and I will be back!
Super beautiful shop. Huge variety of herbs!! However, the man working there did not say a single word to us. Never said hello. Never said goodbye. It was an extremely uncomfortable experience and very unwelcoming. Im a plant person. I love talking about herbs. I had so many questions, while I could have brought them up, it was so uncomfortable so I did not. I wish I could have learned more during my visit. I probably would have bought something but chose not to because I felt unwelcome.
My Aunt and I stopped in on Saturday for a visit.Purchased some tea and had a tarrot reading.Carmella greeted us with so much warmth and so understanding of our needs and her knowledge of a variety of topics (so smart) was so impressive. Our Tarrot readings as a group of 5 was in depth coversations which I personally love. The sharing was effortless & exciting.My aunt is so looking forward to another visit soon to Essential Elements and I am looking forward taking her and participating as well. Love the ownerShe is like family!
Solid. Great selection of herbs especially, great prices, good people. Oh! I would love if some soft music was playing, but thats just me.
Great shop for herbs, crystals and energy work. One of my absolute favorite places in Portland!
Carmella is a very knowledgeable herbalist. The entire shop has a peaceful, calming atmosphere. Essential Elements has a lot to offer. Highly recommended.
The place has a really chill vibe with an awesome place to feel at peace.
