About Us

 

As a registered nurse with over 14 years of experience in the ICU, I've witnessed firsthand the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses in our society. It’s a concerning trend that many of us are grappling with, and it became even more personal when I started experiencing health issues myself.

At just 33 years old, I found myself battling symptoms like chronic fatigue, persistent headaches, and hormonal imbalances. Even cysts and tumors which required surgical intervention. It was a devastating realization that my body was struggling under the weight of, what appeared to be, toxin overload.

After months of research, I discovered that many of the products I was using daily were contributing to my health declining. This was a turning point for me. I realized that the very items I thought were safe were, in fact, filled with unnatural ingredients that were wreaking havoc on my body. I felt as though my body was shutting down. Like a computer system failure.

This journey of self-discovery ignited a passion within me to seek out healthier alternatives and to create products that are not only safe but also nourishing for the body.

From this passion, I began making everything from scratch. I wanted to ensure that what I was using in my home and on my body was free from harmful chemicals and toxins. This endeavor led to the creation of a platform where I could share my knowledge and experiences with others. It’s not just about selling products; it’s about empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

Through this platform, I aim to educate others on how to create their own safe products from homemade laundry soap or natural perfumes. 

Whether it’s handcrafted soap, room sprays, essential oil based perfumes or candles, I believe that everyone deserves access to items that are gentle on the skin, safe in the home, and beneficial for overall health. My goal is to inspire others to embrace a lifestyle that prioritizes wellness. And proving that you don't have to sacrifice all of the lovely "smell-good" options to live a healthy life.

It’s important to remember that we are not alone in this journey. Many people are facing similar challenges, and together, we can find solutions that promote positive health changes. I invite you to explore the world of natural products and consider how you can incorporate them into your daily routine.

Let’s take this journey together towards a healthier, more vibrant life!

Thank you for being a part of this community. Your health and well-being matter, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
