Our Mission
Seed & Soma is a small, woman-owned business dedicated to the well-being and sustainability of physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental health.
We offer products, services, workshops, events, and classes bridging plant medicine, bodywork, and energy healing.
We recognize the dynamic interrelationships of living ecology and created this project to support these dimensions of health through truly holistic, interdisciplinary, and collaborative means.
Seed & Soma is more than a wellness business; it is an extension of curiosity, relationship with the natural world, and desire to make knowledge accessible.
Education & Training
Eden holds a Master’s degree in Ethnobotany and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She is certified in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and holds a 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher certification, with additional specializations in Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yoga for Grief: Theory and Therapeutic Application, and Yoga for Myofascial Release.
Her multidisciplinary training includes herbalism, auricular acupuncture, neurobiology, somatic and trauma-informed practices, peer support, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Usui Reiki I–III, Neuro-Affective Touch, vagal toning techniques, Embodied Processing, nonviolent communication, and emergency medical care.
For more than a decade, Eden has explored psychology, somatics, psychedelics, the neurobiology of trauma and addiction, neurodivergence, polyvagal theory, global plant medicine traditions, energy-based healing practices, Zen Buddhism, and the relationships between humans and the more-than-human world. Her ongoing studies inform an approach that values both scientific rigor and the subtleties of lived experience.
Neuro-Somatic Energy Healing
Emerging from more than a decade of study and practice, Neuro-Somatic Energy Healing is Eden’s integrative approach to working with the body, nervous system, and subtle dimensions of embodied experience.
Drawing from Eastern and Western modalities, somatic awareness, and energy-based practices, this work explores the relationship between physical sensation, emotional experience, and our patterns of responding to the world around us. Sessions are designed to support relaxation, greater body awareness, and a more connected relationship with oneself.
At its heart, this work reflects Eden’s belief that healing is not simply about addressing what feels uncomfortable, but also about cultivating the conditions in which greater awareness, connection, and change can emerge.
The Dharma Files
Eden is also a writer whose work explores the intersections of consciousness, nature, spirituality, and the human experience.
In 2022, she published The Dharma Files: Emergence, a limited-edition, hand-bound book that served as a precursor to the larger Dharma Files series. Only 100 copies were printed. Some were gifted to health- and earth-conscious spaces, while a special edition featuring a hidden seed-exchange mechanism was released into the world to find its way to curious hands and minds.
The project reflects a recurring thread throughout Eden’s work: knowledge is meant to move, ideas are meant to be shared, and our relationships with one another and the natural world are continually unfolding.
A Life in Relationship with Nature
Beyond her professional work, Eden finds joy in photography, painting, writing, hiking, camping, road trips, traveling, building, snowboarding, and spending time with her partner and pets. She loves learning, discovering new places, being immersed in different cultures and languages, eating delicious food, and finding reasons to spend a little more time outdoors.
Her relationship with plants and fungi extends beyond academic study into an ongoing personal practice of observation, curiosity, and connection. She is fascinated by the ways living systems communicate, adapt, and coexist, and by what we might learn when we approach the natural world with greater attentiveness and humility.
This perspective carries into every part of Seed & Soma, from its educational offerings to its botanical products. Eden is committed to a holistic, ecologically mindful approach to wellness that honors the interconnectedness of personal well-being, community, and the living earth.
Seed & Soma is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and reconnect — with your body, with the natural world, and with the knowledge that grows when we learn together.
Our Founder
Meet Eden Marquis, MS, RYT — the heart and mind behind Seed & Soma.
Seed & Soma grew from a desire to share knowledge, cultivate meaningful relationships with the natural world, and explore the many ways we can nurture our well-being. More than a business, it is a space for curiosity, connection, and the exchange of wisdom — a place where science and spirituality; traditional knowledge and modern understanding; the human body and the living earth meet.
Eden is an ethnobotanist, herbalist, yoga instructor, and non-clinical somatic practitioner whose work explores the intersections of mind, body, spirit, and environment. Drawing from botanical medicine, neurobiology, somatic practices, and traditional healing systems, she creates offerings that invite deeper awareness of the body, a more compassionate relationship with the self, and a greater sense of connection to the natural world.
Her approach is rooted in lifelong learning, thoughtful inquiry, and a deep respect for the complexity of being human. She is passionate about making accurate, accessible information available — particularly where neurobiology, trauma, plant medicines, and holistic wellness are concerned. By bringing scientific insight into conversation with embodied experience and traditional knowledge, Eden seeks to create spaces that feel grounded, welcoming, and expansive.
