✨exciting new products, last call, and recipe updates✨

you’ve spoken, and i’m listening!

creating things for you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. knowing you trust me to bring wellness and goodness to your homes and families is such an honor. genuinely, it’s incredible and i’m so insanely grateful.

because of your trust in me, my herbal offerings have made it into the homes of so many people, and i’ve learned what offerings people are loving that i need to make more of, what offerings have served their intended purpose and are ready to be retired, and what offerings need a few tweaks to make them perfect.

i’ve also had people share their desires for some products i don’t have in my shop that they wish i did. i’ve been creating some really lovely things for you and i can’t wait to share them with you!


last call!

these offerings are being retired at 20% off. though they have been lovely additions to my store, they have either not sold as well as i wanted them to, they are too similar to other more popular items, or they don’t resonate with the vision i have for the kindred feminine to specifically support people’s reproductive health.

there are a limited amount of these offerings and once they’re sold out, they won’t come back to the store, so if you want them, be sure to pick them up now!

womb care elixir

this was one of the first products i made and i felt a lot of love for it. i’ve since made a more targeted hormonal pairing, my moon cycle pairing, that really supports the cyclical nature of our cycles. furthermore, my NORA+ Elixir that has all of the same ingredients of this womb care formula and more that would be just as helpful outside of pregnancy. with an easy clarification on the website, i can gratefully retire my womb care elixir, and promote these other two wonderful offerings.

abuela’s te de canela y clavo (grandma’s cinnamon and clove tea)

stay healthy out there vitamin c tea

avoiding the dark and twisties tea


reworked & revamped formulas

the following formulas for these offerings are being revamped. the current formulas will be on sale for 20% off and once they’re gone, they’re gone but i’m confident the new formulas will be an enhancement.

nursing parent’s tea

the nursing parent’s tea is being reworked because it doesn’t taste very good, and as they say, “the medicine doesn’t work if you don’t take it.” so i’m reworking this formula to make it both supporting AND delicious for our nursing parents!

perineal steams (formerly called vaginal/yoni steams)

these steams were formulated a couple of years ago when i was in a ‘more is more’ mindset. i know now that sometimes, less is more and adding too many herbs can really muddle the desired benefit. so i’m adjusting them and adding some new ones that you can read about below!

herbal baths

my baths up to now have all included epsom salts, which was for good reason! epsom salts are beautiful medicine. they soothe muscles and help with upset tummy stuff. here’s the thing, epsom salts are heavy. like, really heavy. having epsom salts in my formulas meant that ya’ll aren’t getting the herbal support i want you to receive. so, i’m removing the salts from the formulas, allowing ya’ll to recieve the most benefit in your baths.

some of these updates will result in changes in prices. i do everything i can to ensure that my offerings are accessible to those who want them. please know that every purchase quite literally helps my family make ends meet. i’m so grateful for your continuing support!


drum roll please…

new formulas and bundles!

i am sooo excited for the new offerings i’ve created for you! they are live in the shop now and i can’t wait for ya’ll to have them!

the herbal go bag

the herbal go bag is intended for the birth pro who would like to have tinctures available at births. this is something i’ve been formulating for a while and there are even a couple ‘beta testers’ out there in the wild with their go bags. the small pouch has formulas specifically to support the birth worker in this work, and the large pouch adds formulas to support the birthing person. every item included in the herbal go bag will be available for individual purchase.

the miscarriage support package

now, technically this one is already up on my website. but it went up pretty quietly and it deserves a little bit of attention. this offering is so full of love. it includes an iron syrup, a bath, a tea, and an optional tincture. i pack these with so much care. one in eight pregnancies will end in miscarriage. 1 in 8! if this package is my love letter to the parents who are losing those sweet babes.

castor oil packs (formerly the hopeful womb massage oil)

this is still the same beautiful infused castor oil for womb massage, it is just finished really. my intention for this oil was for it to be used to it’s fullest as the perfect oil for womb and abdominal massage and as a castor oil pack. this bundle brings my intentions to their fruition and i’m proud to share it with ya’ll.

new perineal steams

i have four new steam formulas up in the store! like i said above, i’ve reworked the classic steam and the postpartum steam and they’re now called the maintenance and soothing perineal steams respectively. i also have two brand new formulas for you. the cleansing perineal steam for anyone dealing with BV, excess candida, infection, or unusual discharge. the balancing perineal steam is for those who are experiencing uterine dysfunction. Use this formula if you’re experiencing severe pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, cysts, or fibroids.


importantly, i’ve been changing the names of some of my offerings to ensure that all people can find themselves represented in my shop. with that in mind, i am working to eliminate gender specific product names like, ‘vaginal steam’ or ‘mama’s bottom spray” and moving towards gender neutral, and in many cases, more accurate names like, ‘perineal steam,’ and ‘perineal spray.’ on many products this has already happened, but i’ll be making these changes to any remaining gender specific products in the coming weeks.


thank you so much for supporting the kindred feminine and kindred herbals. your support helps my family in very literal ways. you help me pay my bills, put food on my table, and serve my community.

with so much love,

tamara, xoxo

Tamara Niedermann

hi! i'm tamara, creator and owner of the kindred feminine. i have always known i am at my best when i was in support of the people around me. i surrounded myself with deep connections -- people who i could know and live life with. that desire for deep relationship is what has guided my journey to birth work, herbalism, and supporting the birthing and bleeding people in my community.

six years ago, when my younger sister and her husband started their parenting journey, she started sharing the things she was learning about pregnancy and labor. i watched documentaries with her. i read the books she recommended, and i realized that there was another way to birth your babies. until that point, the idea of home birth and midwives and doulas were sort of a joke. in movies and television they portray midwives as the hippy lady with incense and beads -- which to be fair that midwife exists and now i strive to be worthy of her -- but she's played as a joke. it took these books and documentaries, and new perspectives to show me that midwifery and doulas are legitimate callings, and home birth is a legitimate option.

simultaneous to my birth worker journey, i was coming into a better understanding of my womanhood and i wanted to have more holistic options for interacting with my fertility. so, i transitioned from hormonal birth control to the sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness to track my cycles, and then i switched out my single use menstrual products for reusables. both of these changes gave me a deeper knowledge of my cycles and my body

my growing love for fertility and body literacy combined with my heart for birthing and bleeding people and pregnancy, started me on this incredible journey of learning, and growth, and stewardship of the wisdom that has been passed to me.

the kindred feminine serves all birthing and bleeding people by supporting pregnant people prenatally, attending out of hospital births, and in the postpartum time. tamara teaches bodily autonomy through the fertility awareness method. i processes placentas, and makes herbal preparations including teas, baths, salves, and tinctures and elixirs.

i'm a bisexual cis woman who uses the pronouns she, hers, and her. i’m a newlywed in my early thirties. i'm the daughter of an immigrant single mother. i'm an advocate for fat positivity, body hair acceptance, lgbtq families, body literacy, and bodily autonomy for all people. i'm a birth keeper, and an herb
