About The Botanica Boutique

The Botanica Boutique was born during a time when the world seemed to stop. It took this pause to realize what I wanted and what I really needed.

The pandemic hit and my anxiety, which I've struggled with all of my life, went through the roof.
I discovered that one of the problems was that I wasn't making time for myself. Each day felt like endless, difficult obstacles. I needed self-care and fast! I began my search for some relief and found that plant-based products and CBD helped a lot – it helped me think, sleep, and just manage my anxiety day-to-day. I soon realized that many people were having similar experiences. That's when it happened! The idea for The Botanica Boutique was born.

I began to realize that self-care was something that was non-negotiable and I needed to build it into my life. That's where our motto was born: "self-care isn't selfish - it's essential." In order for me to do the things I needed to do in a day, I needed to take care of myself first. Yoga, reading, baking, long hot baths, and plant-based remedies started to do their magical work.

I wanted to use this new-found energy and focus to create something, so I continued to learn. I found that I enjoyed researching and finding companies that used practices I believed in and created clean, natural products using plants. I made a checklist in my head, not every company checked every box, but most of the companies checked a bunch! Among the things on my checklist, I looked for all-natural, plant-based products, organic and/or regenerative farming practices, and women/minority-owned businesses. In my search, I found many like-minded people (many women), who started their own businesses in a similar way. I felt a connection to them and wanted to share these amazing people and products with others.

I felt I needed to create a space where I could share the knowledge that I've gained and the high-quality, plant-based products that I love. There are too many inferior wellness products out there (so many). I research and personally vet every single product that I carry. I do the legwork, so you don't have to.

This business also allows me to do something else I love - connecting with people. I want each customer to have a personalized experience. I offer virtual, personalized consultations and will deliver product samples to you, so that I can match you with a product that fits perfectly with who you are and what you're looking for.

If you are searching for relief from stress, anxiety, depression, PMS/period-related symptoms, insomnia, pain, menopause, brain fog, lack of focus, or just need a sense of balance and overall well-being in your day– let's chat. Send me an email or contact me on the website and I will start working on finding the right products for you.

Thanks for supporting my vision of wellness and overall well-being. Remember, self-care isn't selfish - it's essential.
