About Us

My fascination with the power of plants began at age five, when I asked my Abuelita Maria why she added aloe leaves to her Kool-Aid. "Mija, esta bueno para la salud" (it is healthy for you), she replied. I can still picture her backyard aloe garden, a vivid memory that instilled in me the understanding of plants' health benefits. She lived a long life into her 90s with very few health issues, a longevity I always attributed to her aloe-infused beverages. This early curiosity evolved as I observed how plants responded to their environment—ferns curling when touched, lemongrass releasing its scent when rustled, and my own mood shifting during a hike. These experiences laid the groundwork for where I am today. In 2021, I embarked on my essential oils journey to help my husband, John with his anxiety and sleep issues. He successfully transitioned off anxiety medications, and the rest, as they say, is history. We call Lakeland, FL home, where we live with our teenage son, three dogs, three cats, and a beta fish. When I'm not crafting oil blends, herbal remedies, or skincare products, you can find me expanding our culinary horizons, always eager to experiment with new cooking methods and ingredients, taking our dogs out for rides, hiking, or kayaking. That's my husband, John and I at our first popup event. Our product line has expanded since then.
