Growing up on St. Simons Island, Georgia, I was surrounded by the natural beauty of the sea and coastal living. As a child, I experimented with marsh mud masks and sea salt sprays, unknowingly planting the seeds of Earth Harbor long before it became a reality. Years later, as a published, award-winning researcher specializing in environmental health and toxicology, I traveled the world studying how toxins affect our health and the environment. My work focused on uncovering natural alternatives that could transform wellness while protecting the planet, laying the foundation for what Earth Harbor would become.

After a near-fatal car accident left me disabled, I found myself facing both physical and mental challenges that reshaped how I viewed health, healing, and the way we care for ourselves. At a time when recovery felt impossible, I discovered I was pregnant with my miracle baby boy. These life-altering experiences made me rethink everything, especially the products I was using on my body and their impact on the planet. I knew I had to take clean living to the next level.

Starting Earth Harbor was both exhilarating and daunting. With just $2,000 I had worked hard to save, no outside connections, and student loans still looming, I began selling my first products at local farmers’ markets. Those early days were a labor of love, built on determination and the belief that skincare should do more than feel good—it should make a real difference.
