I started Life Elements in June 2005 after 25 years in high technology! Having been fed up with hectic travel schedules, missing my husband and family and missing out on life in general, I quit. I figured that if I was going to spend that much energy on a business, it might as well be my own! However, I didn't know what I was going to do. But soon, after realizing that the products I wanted were not available anywhere, I decided to create them myself. I began educating myself on aromatherapy, business development, marketing, pr, importing/exporting, financing, SBA Loans, business plans and everything else I thought I would need to know to start a business and began upon my journey. Our products were launched in mid 2006 and we now sell to retail boutiques, spas and resorts nationwide. I can't say it's been easy, but it's been and continues to be an amazing journey. I'm very fortunate to have the love and support of wonderful husband, family and friends. They're all rooting for me. My inspiration - Oprah!
