Meet Gina,
our founder
I find deep joy in helping others reclaim their health and sharing the love of Christ in everything I do.
I am a registered nurse, certified organic skin care formulator (thank you Formula Botanica and School of Natural Skincare!), and a certified health and wellness coach (Creation Life, CHIP, and Dr. Sears Wellness Institute).
I am a devoted wife to an amazing, supportive husband and mother of 2 wonderful sons. We also have the honor of being live-in caregivers to my wonderful in-laws.
Our health journey:
Most of my life I have battled hormone induced acne with blemish-prone, sensitive skin, due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
My family deals with issues ranging from hormonal acne break-outs, chemo-related dry skin, ezcema, brittle hair, hormonal hair loss, aging spots and wrinkles, and intolerace for many prescription medications/ creams.
I know how exhausting it can feel to spend hundreds of dollars on skin care products, only to have unwanted reactions to the harsh, synthetic chemicals that were supposed to help. It can make you feel like giving up.
As a registered nurse for over 20 years I have cared for patients of all ages with a host of skin issues. Many had unwanted reactions to the chemicals in drugs and longed for a more natural approach to their chronic ailments.
It was not unusual for me to keep herbal teas in my locker and provide them to my patients to help calm some of their symptoms. I especially loved to do this with my palliative and hospice patients.
My family and patient’s needs drove me to learn about the wonderful powers of herbs, natural butters and oils, and other ingredients. After much trial and error and copious research and training, I was able to start formulating products that worked!

Fun facts about Gina
Let’s get to know each other
We homeschool our boys and they love to help with packaging the products and even help to make some of the simple ones. I love teaching them a trade that they can use to help others that isn’t taught in traditional school.
I fell in love with medical missionary work after going on a missionary trip to Haiti. Part of the proceeds of each purchase will go towards supporting medical missionary work via the Adventist Development & Relief Agency (ADRA) and Mercy Ships. You can find out more about them or donate on your own at www.adra.org and www.mercyships.org
