I didn’t choose this path — my body demanded it.
My journey into natural living and gut health began long before I ever knew it would become my life’s work.

Where It All Began (2009)
After a family member’s cancer diagnosis, I dove into researching the toxins hidden in everyday products. I leaned into my Native American heritage, my love for the earth, and my belief that natural living shouldn’t be expensive or complicated.
I began making my own personal care products — first for myself, then for my family, then as holiday gifts. For over a decade, people kept asking, “When are you going to sell these?”
Then came 2019 — the wake‑up call.
After years of inflammation, chronic symptoms, and failed elimination diets, I was rushed to the ER with an unexplained anaphylactic reaction. That moment pushed me into the next chapter of my healing journey: gut health.
I learned herbalism.
I learned to cook differently.
I learned to listen to my body.
I learned to live superNATURAL.
And I finally created the system that worked.
Two journeys. One mission.
