About the Founder

Hi, I’m Alexandra, the founder and herbalist behind Midnight Botanica.

I was raised in Pittsburgh, PA, by a florist mother and in a family that kept a large garden. Plants were part of daily life — from bouquets arranged at the kitchen table to long afternoons spent tending herbs and flowers outdoors. That early exposure shaped how I see botanicals today: practical, seasonal, and deeply woven into everyday routine.

My father, a chiropractor with a deep respect for herbal traditions, encouraged curiosity and careful research. Our home valued both tradition and understanding — honoring time-tested plant practices while asking thoughtful questions. That balance continues to guide how I formulate every blend.

Years later, herbs became part of my own evening practices. What began as small batches blended at my kitchen table slowly evolved into Midnight Botanica — a small-batch apothecary centered around sleep-inspired and nighttime rituals.

Each balm and roll-on is made with intention, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and respect for the plants that shape each formula. I believe herbs belong in daily life — applied slowly, used consistently, and integrated into the simple rituals that mark the end of the day.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my small-batch botanical craft.
