you wouldn't believe who's been naked on my table...

and I wouldn't tell you anyway. I started my massage practice in the early 2000s in Venice, California, developing a unique way of listening to and healing the body. My approach built a devoted following… the kind you’d only find in LA. 😉

I’ve always seen myself as more of a healer than a massage therapist. I have the ability to listen to what your body needs, understand the source of pain and discomfort, and bring relief. I call myself a body engineer because I troubleshoot the body, getting to the root of what’s wrong instead of just treating symptoms. But I never wanted that relief to be temporary.

I was deeply concerned about the chemicals in the oils and lotions available at the time, both for my clients and for myself. At the time, the lotions and oils available were full of toxins, cheap fillers, and synthetic moisturizers that didn’t actually help. After 10 hours of using them every day, my body told me loud and clear: this isn’t right. My skin reacted. My migraines flared. I needed something better. My clients deserved something better

So, I started crafting my own butters and oils. I know healing isn’t just about the body—it’s about the mind, too. Some clients were stressed, restless, unable to wind down. Some were drained, foggy, and needed an energy boost. Some were seeking balance, clarity, or a reset. I started blending in essential oils with purpose to support their emotional and energetic needs. I’d send clients home with “prescriptions” tailored to what they needed most. 

Clients came back glowing. Not just from my massages, but from the visible transformation in their skin and the way they felt in their bodies.

They begged me to make more.

What started as a way to heal the skin became a way to heal the whole being. And that’s when hellomellow was born.

We took out the fragrance, fillers, and chemicals. We put in pure, skin-healing ingredients and intention.

I sold hellomellow first at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market and eventually landed on the shelves of my regional Whole Foods.

These days I’ve ditched La La Land and have the pleasure of crafting hellomellow from my workshop in Idaho. I'm so grateful that I'm able to bring a small part of my healing to more people across the country. You can now go on our website and choose your own “prescription” for what your self-care should be.

Thank you for being here and trying hellomellow. Know I'm only an email or phone call away (yes, I love talking to our customers!) for any guidance on how to best incorporate hellomellow into your self care.
