Teresa McDowell Founder/Manufacturer

They say life begins at 40 and in 2006, my 40^th year, with the encouragement of family and friends and the unwavering love and support of my husband and three children I took a leap of faith to extend out from the humble market stall. I had created a product range that represented many things I hold dear - natural beauty and integrity, hemp for its overall health benefits and environmental advantages, aromatherapy and the healing power of essential oils along with the desire to build a sustainable future for my family and the wider community.

Little did I realize that 3 years down the track we would have built a loyal following of customers online and throughout health food stores, with new stores regularly seeking our products. Many of our supporters realise that what you put on your skin is as important as what you eat.

It is with much gratitude that I extend a huge thank you to all our customers who have shown their support, for without you our success now and into the future would not be achieved.

Well I always knew our life together was going to be different but if you had told me 16 years ago that my beautiful wife was going to be sending her all-natural hand made, hemp oil based, skin care products around the world I  would've... well, I would've questioned you thats for sure.....

But when you look back at the experiences throughout your life's journey and if you are open to it, you can really see how everything that has happened, really does happen for a reason.

We were meant to find each other, get married and build a 40ft motorhome, we were meant to travel and end up in Kalgoorlie, W.A. Teresa was meant to follow her passion and find the right position to open up her own Hemp and Aromatherapy shop, also was meant to be confronted by some of the products she was selling that she could see was either not from Australia or had chemicals in them. She was meant to take the plunge and complete a Diploma in Aromatherapy so that she could learn the best way to make her own natural products. And the rest... as they say, is history.

All in all having done all that 'and' given birth to 3 beautiful children 'and' supported me on my lifes journey and to still have the passion and energy to start up her own business, the right way with integrity (and patience too - knowing that our children are important and need the time from their mum during those early years) and never letting go of the dream of helping people through natural chemical free products.
With my work as a Technician I am always getting cuts, grazes, even stitches and I would pile on the Skin Soothe and gulp down the Hemp Oil. Surprising everybody with how quickly my skin would heal.
Words cannot explain how proud I am to be along side her to watch the growth of something really great, that is also very positive for our world.

Here's cheers to you luv and to our life's journey together,

Simon
