goal of mine has always been to make artisan handcrafted products that people loved and wanted to


buy. So, when a local farmer mentioned to me that she gives some of her goats’ milk to a friend who makes soap with it, natu- rally, I had to fi nd out more. I signed up for a soap-making class and was hooked. I was inspired and knew immediately this was the beginning of my adventure.


As an aesthetician and spa owner, all-natural, paraben-free, phthal- ate-free, and palm oil-free ingredients are important to me. I don’t want random chemicals on my skin, so why would I put them on anyone else’s? Most commercial products are full of chemicals, however I use all natural and organic ingredients in the products I create. Knowing that goat milk is an excellent ingredient for nour- ishing and moisturizing the skin, I experimented and developed skin-nourishing soap recipes with mild lather and amazing scents that make you breathe in and say ahhhhh! The difference in how my skin looks and feels is amazing! I will never buy store-bought soap again.


After seeing the documentary, Before the Flood, with Leonardo DiCaprio, I knew I was never going to use palm oil in my products. The recent press surrounding the devastation to wildlife habitats, especially orangutans, that is caused by the destruction of rain forests in order to have palm plantations was very disturbing to me. I want to make a positive impact on my environment and I want to be environmentally responsible, so no palm oil is my motto.


With the introduction of my homemade goat-milk soap, I launched my “Skinfully Pure” line of healthy, sustainable body-care prod- ucts. I created Skinfully Pure for those of you who are environmen- tally conscious and who appreciate the difference and quality of all natural handmade products. I started with goat milk soap and have expanded to lotions, body butters, foot balms, lip balms, bath bombs and shower fi zzies. An eye balm and facial mask will be added in the near future.

Digestive Discomfort? Are you ruled by your gut? Do you experience bloating, gas, abdominal pain? How we eat and what we eat can greatly affect how we feel throughout the day and night. Our Nutrition Team can teach you how to eat healthy without ‘going on a diet’.


or Depression? Many people don’t know that most of our mood modulating brain chemicals are produced in our gut. If our gut is inflamed, our mood is often affected. By learning how to eat in a healthier and more nourishing way, we can improve our mental health.


I handcraft each item in small batches, using only pure, natural ingredients, and organic when possible. I use high-quality essen- tial oils known for their therapeutic proper- ties, never synthetic fragrance oils, and pure colorants, never synthetic dyes. My packaging is recyclable, biodegradable, and whenever possible it also comes from a sustainable source, reducing our environmental impact. My products are never tested on animals…only on myself, my hubby and my wonderful and willing family and friends.


Our Approach Our approach to nutrition is to help our clients find practical ways to enjoy making healthy changes in their life. Being on a diet is never fun and rarely brings about long-lasting changes. But learning how to change your lifestyle to include more whole foods can bring about huge benefits in how we feel.
