About Us

Very simply, we want to help you embrace joy in your life. Our hope is to accomplish this through a combination of sharing the story of our journey to health, sharing homeopathic guidance or reiki treatment, and offering the products that we use for personal care. Part of what allowed us to achieve a joyful life was moving away from highly processed food and personal care products. Our holistic approach to health and selfcare is powerful, and we want to share it with the world.

On April 22nd 1970, Earth Day was born. When I was a teenager (in the 90's) I learned about Earth Day. I bought my parents Earth Day totes because I thought it was cool that they were married on April 22nd, 1970. Between that, and the way that I was raised, connected to the earth with a small farm feeding us, I thought it fitting to take this site live on the 52nd anniversary of Earth Day (and my parents).   

To embrace joy, first, you must feel good. To feel good, what goes in and on your body should contain fresh natural ingredients that you don't need to research to identify. Even in health food stores, products with simple ingredients are hard to find. I began blending my own face cream in 2015 in small batches based on family (and other families) recipes. 

I changed and refined my recipes until I created a small line of products that work very well for me. I want to share these products with others who are seeking pure, simple additions to their self care routines. 

As a preteen, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This means that headaches, low grade fever, battling of infections, depression, insomnia and never-ending exhaustion were my constant companions. Throughout my teenage years and into early adulthood, I expected writing to be the only career path open to me as every time I tried traditional work, I paid (2 weeks bussing tables meant 5 weeks in bed to recover). When I was 20, I found a way to be better enough to life, but I was never well. I remember early childhood, and being so full of energy that I couldn't sit still. I always had a longing for the health and vitality I had lost so long ago. In my forties, I found the path that has me closer than I have been in any of the ensuing years. 

I want to teach as many people as I can the tricks I have learned and perhaps, help them conquer their challenges, especially health challenges, to allow joyful living. I want to make my favorite self care products and rituals available to others. Our thoughts, and our focus, shape our emotional health. I want everyone to know about homeopathy, energy healing and how our minds and focus (along with what and how we eat) tie into our health and ultimately, our JOY!
