welcome to

SEEDS + Spirit

Goodness, it’s incredible to have you here.

In fact, I created this little corner of the internet hoping that you’d show up. Because Seeds + Spirit was created, quite simply, out of a deep desire to encourage gals like you!

Are you a struggling mom of littles? Been there.

Are you navigating being married to a physician or physician in training? Same.

Do you have a growing interest in growing things or raise animals but aren’t really sure where to start? Me too.

Do you find yourself on a personal growth journey constantly? Or looking to grow your faith? Yep.

Inspired by adventure but struggle to fit it in to your own life? You know it.


Listen, we can do this! We can grow together, my friend! You are welcomed here, where we can show up as we are: flaws and fears, insecurities and inexperience, and turn them into something beautiful.

Whatever you are in need of today: to feel held, inspired, less alone, heard, energized…I hope you will find it right here at Seeds + Spirit.

Hi, I’m Ann Marie!

I am so passionate about living and loving this life. Don’t ask me where I’m from, because this Southern girl at heart moved all over the country as an Army brat growing up. We have now happily settled in the Pacific Northwest, on a 20-acre farm: a beautiful backdrop for our little life.

At 13, I met this heartthrob of a boy in Science class in Oregon, and married him 9 years later. He’s now a busy Orthopedic Surgeon outside of Seattle. Together, we make quite the team and are constantly challenged by our three fiery little gals, ages 4, 6, & 8.

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist by training. However, I took a hiatus when our second little was born, and I haven’t been back to that world, as I’ve been out focusing on raising babies, learning about farm-life and gardening, and following Jesus one right step at a time. And that, my friend, is what has led me right here on these pages today.

My deepest passion and clearest calling is to encourage others, and I am so, so happy to be here, sharing stories freely, cultivating connections, and walking hand in hand with you. I hope that what you find here will help you on your own journey to grow and dream big and better yet, to make actual progress on reaching those dreams, my friend.

I’d love to know what you’re dreaming up, too, so I can start encouraging you today. 🖤
