Matt and Amra from Cultivate Elevate started their health journey when they could no longer tolerate being sick so often. Feeling tired, bloated, and anxious was holding them back from enjoying a fulfilling life of adventure. So they cleaned up their diets and started to question ingredients. This is when they started to discover superfoods. Mushrooms, shilajit, herbs, you name it! If it was nutrient dense, they were trying it. These superfoods changed our lives, and they couldn’t help but want to share it with the rest of the world. These ancient holistic foods were used for the past centuries as medicine, and it’s time for their magical healing properties to elevate our lives once again. They curated the best ingredients from small organic farms all around the world. They believe that you should be able to read every single ingredient in your food, or better yet, make it from scratch with raw ingredients.

Blessed Botanicals was established in 2022 after owners Brittany & Ashton Spink spent many years researching and testing a wide variety of herbal remedies. Brittany was taking courses as part of a pre-med program back in 2019 when she met her husband, Ashton, who was diagnosed with late stage Lyme disease. She saw how Western Medicine had failed him, as the antibiotics and numerous pharmaceuticals they prescribed only worsened his condition. Brittany was determined to find a way to help him in his healing journey, and dove head first into researching herbal remedies that could help Ashton to recover. After many years of trial and error, they discovered many powerful remedies that had a great impact on Ashton's health. Now their goal is to share these herbal remedies with others that are struggling to overcome chronic illness so that they too can take their health back.

Founder, Berni Vernon is a licensed Health Care Practitioner with a career devoted to homeopathy and naturally derived remedies. As an experienced Yoga teacher, she found it very difficult to continue her passion when her Arthritis and Osteoporosis progressively got worse. As always, she set out to naturally solve her dilemma that was preventing her from doing Yoga, a critical part of her life. In her research, she stumbled across the immense amount of benefits that magnesium had for her condition.

After about a week, she came up with an initial formula that contained magnesium and began massaging it into her affected areas twice a day. She couldn’t believe how effective the cream was and experienced little discomfort while doing yoga after a week of use. Excited with the results and because of her nurturing personality it became her goal to get this type of relief out to her friends and family. As she began to learn more and more, she discovered that most people are magnesium deficient as it is a critical mineral to everyone’s health.

By supplementing her body with magnesium through transdermal absorption she began to feel an increase in daily energy and a huge reduction in the stress she was feeling as a business owner. It was helping her sleep at night and she was able to continue doing the activities she loves.
