Our Story
We envision a world where women are cared for — by themselves, each other, and society.
Throughout her life, Catalina witnessed the transformative power of change and the importance of embracing it. She saw how a flawed system could disproportionately impact women, leaving many to grapple with adversity and feel unsupported. This inequity resonated with her, and her personal experiences only intensified her resolve to advocate for the multitude of women still bearing the burden of societal constraints.
As time went on, Catalina and her husband confronted their own metamorphosis in the form of fertility challenges. This arduous journey led them to reexamine their lifestyle and underscored the significance of natural, holistic care. She realized that a myriad of women, like herself, were not equipped with the knowledge and resources to access natural products – and they couldn't disregard how this lack of access was yet another obstacle preventing women from reclaiming their power and resilience.
By embracing transformation and change, Catalina found new ways to advocate for women's empowerment, enabling them to overcome societal barriers and achieve their full potential.
Paul found a much-needed release from the high-stress world of performance cars in crafting natural products that support our health, and after experiencing the pull to leave the world better that comes with parenthood, we knew we needed to defy the status quo with small batch products that stand for and support social change.
Our Act of Defiance
What makes us different
Shop Routines
For the woman who can’t seem to slow down. Who is always on the go, two steps ahead, and tackling #allthethings.
For the woman who’s hard on herself. Who weathers extremes without knowing why, and who feels like she needs deep rest, a big hug, and fuel to keep her flame going.
For the woman who was always too busy taking care of others that she’s never taken care of herself.
