More about me:
I'm a married mom of two girls, ages 3 & 7. I've been an entrepreneur for over 10yrs now, but I started Brown Bag Botanicals when our first daughter was about a year old. She had ultra-sensitive skin & broke out in full body eczema as an infant. Without any resolve naturally & medically, I resorted to concocting a "magic brew" to rid her of her itchy, scarring skin. It worked, I decided to bottle it & sell it.
It's been a great ride & I've had the opportunity to build some traction in N.California and earn media endorsements from many national magazines, both industry & niche.
By trade I'm a massage therapist with an advanced cert in prenatal massage. Bodywork is what I absolutely love to do - it's my outlet & is so amazing how bodywork positively impacts a pregnant woman & her baby(ies).
Right now I have a full product line under development, all while I've opened up The Studio at Brown Bag Botanicals, which is my version of a "pregnancy spa". Allows me to marry my products with my services & grow organically.
