The Space Between Zine

A monthly self-care zine for highly sensitive souls and caregivers

The Space Between Zine is a monthly digital zine created for highly sensitive people and moms of special needs children—those who carry a lot, feel deeply, and long for moments of quiet that don’t demand anything in return.

This zine is meant to be read slowly.
Printed if you like.
Returned to often.

Each issue centers around a gentle monthly theme and explores it through self-care, skincare, scent, and quiet reflection—offering comfort, grounding, and a sense of being understood.

Inside each issue, you’ll find:

Cozy scent stories using essential oils, herbs, and comforting aromas
A 3-minute glow ritual—simple skincare designed for sensitive skin and tired nervous systems
Gentle self-care ideas for the in-between moments of real life
Tiny Treasures—small, ordinary moments worth noticing and holding
Journal prompts and reflections you can return to at your own pace

The Space Between Zine isn’t about doing more.
It’s about creating a small pocket of calm inside busy, emotionally full lives.

It’s for evenings when the house is finally quiet.
For mornings before everyone else wakes.
For moments when you need reassurance that softness still belongs to you.

This is a place to pause, breathe, and feel held—one gentle page at a time.

Hi, I’m Carrie.

My journey into handmade skincare began with my son, who has Down syndrome and underwent heart surgery as a baby. In that season, I discovered how easily women—especially mothers—pour endlessly into others while forgetting themselves.

When I began crafting gentle, herbal skincare for him, the process became my self-care. Infusing flowers, blending oils, and stirring butters helped me breathe again. It grounded me. It healed me.

Now, I help women over 40 rediscover that same nourishment through simple botanical skincare rituals and soul-soothing self-care practices.

“I believe in slow rituals, warm cups of tea, the wisdom of plants, and tiny moments of stillness that help women feel deeply cared for.”

My Work & Writing

I am the author of six books, including Carrie’s Herbal-Infused Skincare Cookbook. Readers describe my work as accessible, encouraging, and beautifully detailed.

“Very easy to understand… full of important details… I would recommend it to anyone interested in essential oils.” — Amazon Review“

Not just a recipe book — a guide to herbs and oils. My daughter’s eczema has improved so much.” — Amazon Review.

My writing has appeared in Wellbeing Magazine, and my work has been featured in the October 2022 issue of Hippie Magazine and the November 24 issue of Reader’s House Magazine.

Through books, courses, and my membership program, I teach women how to create personalized, botanical skincare rooted in herbal wisdom and seasonal rhythms.
