About Us
life: love and soap
From the very start, Blooming Lotus has created worry-free bath and body products – organic skin care designed with the health of humans, animals, and the planet in mind.
When so many companies are rushing to repackage, relabel or reformulate to meet customer demand for natural beauty products, it kind of makes us wonder about their motivation. We’re proud to say we’ve been organic and paraben free since the beginning.
I began my healing journey when I followed bands like the Dead, Phish and String Cheese Incident as they toured the country. Living joyously and simply, I was inspired by alternative ideas and sustainable visions. (On the road, bottles of echinacea, tea tree, and lavender oils and a powerful amethyst made up the best first aid kit.) Later, I worked in natural foods stores and studied native plants in Georgia, Vermont, and Colorado before the returning home to Kansas City where I apprenticed with Kahla Wheeler at Prairie Wise Herbal School.
When my father died of cancer, I saw firsthand the long-term effects of toxins on the body. My own chemical sensitivity and years in the natural foods industry taught me to become an obsessive label reader. I also craved great body care products, but unfortunately, even among “natural” and “organic” brands, it’s a challenge to find authentically clean body care. I can assure you that at Blooming Lotus, natural and organic are not marketing buzzwords -- they are a way of life.
Running a business means I’m never completely off. Life can be hectic and challenging. Like you, I’m often exhausted and stressed trying to juggle it all. Still, I believe in doing what you love. I manage to find a balance between paying the bills and making time for what’s truly important (trips to the park with my son, dinner at the table with my family, yoga, and warm baths). I am blessed and I give thanks. Blooming Lotus is a very young company, and this is just the beginning. I have notebooks full of ideas and formulations to offer you. May we manifest peace, health, and balance on this healing journey together. Be well!
in love and light,
