Finding Our Way Back to Nature
Some wisdom is passed down through books. Other wisdom is lived, breathed, and passed from generation to generation through family kitchens and garden paths. For me, this deeper wisdom began in Guatemala, where my childhood was filled with the aromatic scents of mint, chamomile, and lemongrass growing wild—natural ingredients woven into every aspect of our daily life.
When my husband Miguel—who was born in Mexico—and I came to America in 1977, we brought these traditions with us, though gradually we found ourselves swept up in modern conveniences. It wasn’t until 2004 that I felt a powerful calling to return to my roots. With the help of my mom and grandmom, we recreated old recipes, and I began creating natural alternatives to every product that touched our skin—from soaps to lip balms, each crafted with the pure essential oils I remembered from my childhood.
