“I’m new around here and am excited to meet and be around good people. I love my pets but when I realized I started having conversations with them and they never talked back, I started to feel like a crazy person and kind of alone during my workday. Come find me and say hi! I like having random convos with new people (and pets). ☺”

I’m always following my curiosity. I do things because I’m curious and want to learn more. I also do things because I feel into them with my heart. If my heart says yes and my mind says anything other than that, I do it. That’s what led me to become a yoga teacher, which led me to become a lot of other holistic things, like a crystal healer, reiki and ayurveda practitioner.

Later that helped me create Inner Light Botanicals, a natural skincare company for the earth- and energy- conscious. Inner Light Botanicals isn’t just about skincare.  It’s about a whole lot of other holistic happy things, on a mission to support mental health awareness, by helping people like us sloowww down, be mindful, and know that it’s okay to feel things.
