Welcome to the House of Tao, a first-of-its-kind wellness house devoted to helping you create a beautifully regulated body, and a life it wants to live in.
Here, you’ll learn the art of healing yourself.
Cicely Everson is the founder and creative visionary behind House of Tao, a holistic wellness house bringing together botanical medicine, human behavior, education, and the art of intentional living. What began as her own desperate search for answers around her health became a place where herbs, beauty, ritual, and research coexist—not as separate modalities, but as expressions of the same philosophy: that the human body belongs to nature, and how we live, how we adapt, and how we heal are deeply interconnected.
Her work guides you through what letting go asks of the body, and what not letting go does to it.
The House is built around relationship. Relationship to the body. To plants. To place and season. To our histories and patterns. To beauty, pleasure, rest, work, food, movement and one another. And, most importantly, Relationship to Self.
Here, wellness is not an endless project of correction or optimization. We are interested in cultivating the conditions in which the body can remember its own intelligence.
Our world here is elemental and lived-in: linen and natural light, herbs and glass, sun-warmed limestone, wood, clay, skin, saltwater, paper. Where Mediterranean ease meets Japanese restraint. Quiet colors live beside unexpected ones. There is grace here, but also rebellion.
The House is home to collections of botanical medicines, skin and body preparations, scent, clinical practice, research, teaching and conversation. We believe in practicing ways of living that are worth preserving.
And the doors remain open, for you.
For those in need of healing the body, as well as those wanting to change their relationships. But it is also for the practitioners, artists, researchers, makers and other interesting humans wanting to bring their own disciplines into conversation with ours through residencies, collaborations, gatherings, shared tables and limited works.
House of Tao is therefore not simply a wellness brand.
It is a living house of ideas, objects, medicines and practices organized around a quieter proposition:
Live closer to what is natural.
Learn to read your body.
Make beautiful things.
Leave room for pleasure (lots of it).
And allow wellness to become less something you pursue—and more a way you live.
Come inside,
Cicely

04Meet Pattern Medicine,
the thread that anchors it all.
As the creator of Pattern Medicine, an emerging interdisciplinary framework exploring the relationships between behavioral adaptation, biochemistry, and physiological health, Cicely brings a distinctive perspective to modern wellness. Her approach examines the patterns that shape our experiences and explores how restoring physiological resources may create greater capacity for meaningful change.
Through House of Tao, she has cultivated an ecosystem of botanical formulations, integrative wellness experiences, practitioner education, and thoughtful conversations about the science of being human.
At the intersection of science, nature, and everyday living, her work invites a more expansive understanding of well-being—one that honors both the complexity of the human body and the beauty of a life lived with intention.
As we understand ourselves more deeply, we have the responsibility to change how we care for ourselves, each other, and the lives we create.
