Outdoors Herbalist

Hello, I'm Sami, and my journey to where I am today has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. I started this adventure as a single, busy mom, juggling the chaos of everyday life. I soon found myself facing peri-menopause and menopause, a path many of us traverse with its own set of ups and downs. In the midst of this whirlwind, I was on a mission to create products that were not only healthy but also undeniably tasty. With two gourmet-loving daughters in the house, I quickly realized that the key to success was deliciousness. If my products didn't hit the mark on the taste buds, they simply wouldn't do. As I navigated this challenging journey, my products evolved, improved, and became a beacon of health and flavour.

My love for a healthier life led me to a passion for outdoor activities. I yearned to move freely, stay fit, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I longed to meet friends and family, travel, have some "me time," and truly love life. It was all about being happy, active, and experiencing the joy of freedom and movement, becoming one with nature. With these desires fueling my journey, I created products that are not only sweet, warming, and comforting but also filling and nurturing.

My mission is to empower individuals to take control of their own health path, offering support, protection, and relief to those who seek it. The goal is to proactively become a better version of yourself, rather than being a passive spectator in the game of life. Today, my award-winning company stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of herbal medicine. It all began with a child's illness, a mother's determination, and a quest for natural healing. Now, I invite you to join me in becoming an active participant in your own journey toward a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Beyond my professional life, I am a fervent advocate of the great outdoors. Activities like kayaking and hiking have been my therapy for years. Our family's lifestyle change was motivated by our genetic conditions, which had the potential to be debilitating. We have adapted our daily routines to challenge these conditions, keeping our bodies and minds sharp.

In this world of challenges, triumphs, and personal growth, I welcome you to embrace the journey towards a healthier, happier, and more active you beside me
