Our journey began when our beautiful daughter Maggie, who we lovingly call Magpie, was born. We wanted to take charge of our family's health and chose to limit exposure to the chemicals and artificial ingredients found in the products we use every day. We studied how our ancestors were using the healing power of plants that come naturally from Mother Earth to take care of their bodies.
