Contestant's Case to Win

Psi Bands are stylish, FDA-cleared acupressure wrist bands for the relief of nausea due
to morning sickness (pregnancy), motion sickness/travel, anesthesia, and
chemotherapy. Momprenuers Romy Taormina and Carla Falcone invented Psi Bands after discovering the positive effects of using wrist acupressure to alleviate our nausea. We experienced many months of morning sickness during each of our pregnancies. Since the existing products were dull and unsatisfying, we set out to create something both functional and fashionable for others who suffer from nausea.

We co-share the responsibilities of running the business, including but not limited to sales, marketing, finances, and administrative duties. We are incredibly fullfiled in having a company whose product makes a meaningful and positive difference in the lives of those who suffer from nausea.

From the get-go we were committed to giving back. One way we accomplish this goal is via our charitable partnership with Fertile Hope. Fertile Hope provides reproductive information, support, and hope to cancer patients and survivors whose medical treatments present the risk of infertility. Psi Bands and Fertile Hope are working together toward a common goal – improving the lives of both cancer patients undergoing treatment as well as those whose parenting dreams are coming true. Psi Bands donates $1 of every Cherry Blossom Psi Bands set sold to Fertile Hope. www.psibands.com/giving_back

We gain great strength and support from belonging to several women's organizations. The women that make up these incredible organizations freely and openly share resources and provide inspiration. A few of these examples are: Ladies Who Launch where we were a featured woman-owned business, Savor the Success where Romy is an official blogger, www.savorthesuccess.com/member/romy-taormina, and Count Me In where Psi Bands is a participant of the Make Mine a Million $ Business RACE.

Every day is a learning and growing experience. We have a passion and are extremely fortunate to be living our dreams. "What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." Zig Ziglar
