About
My journey began in my early twenties when I battled a severe staph infection that developed into MRSA. After 18 months of failed treatments, I took matters into my own hands and created my first healing balm. That moment changed everything...it sparked a passion for natural skincare that has only grown stronger over the years.
In 2019, life threw me another curveball when I was diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease. I underwent life-saving brain surgery and took four years off to recover. I now live with secondary Addison’s Disease...a daily challenge, but one that has only deepened my dedication to creating products that truly help people.
Every product I make is handcrafted in small batches, using carefully selected natural ingredients to support skin health and healing. I don’t just make skincare, I create solutions, inspired by my own health battles and driven by the joy of seeing others find relief through nature.
I didn’t start out with a plan or a background in skincare formulation. But with high school achievements in science and health, maybe the passion was always there...it just needed a spark. Through trial and error, countless hours of research, and a lot of love, I taught myself everything I know. What began as survival turned into a calling.
The photo below shows the damage MRSA once caused to my skin...the very reason I created The Original Balm. Today, after a decade of using natural ingredients, my skin has healed. The scars remain, but they tell my story, one of resilience, growth, and the power of nature.
Thank you for being here. I’m so excited to keep sharing my creations with you.
