My rising career in the entertainment industry was put on hold after a life-changing accident in 2011. Hit and run over by two cars as a pedestrian while crossing the street, I almost lost it all. Unrecognizable with one of the worst compound jaw fractures my surgeon had ever seen, I also suffered 7 broken ribs and a collapsed lung. It was clear that I had a long road to recovery. Disappointed with the ingredients commonly located in the products recommended by my surgeons to heal my unsightly scarring and abrasions, I sought out herbalists, estheticians, and skincare savants all over California for specific advice on scar healing and overall recovery.
Being a former Division 1 athlete, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and a perseverant passion to heal my skin by voraciously searching the globe for unique raw ingredients to source for an experiment to heal myself. Mixing and applying the concoctions out of a studio apartment in Los Angeles, I essentially became my own science experiment with an intention that grew beyond myself. My motivation evolved and transformed into a deep desire to serve others with a budding belief that I might be on to something with a potential skincare product. It worked!
Not only did I quickly recover, but I was also back on the runway for Macy’s within 8 weeks! Moreover, Bulletproof Founder, Dave Asprey found out about what I was up to and had me on his top-ranked podcast to share my story. 2 months later, Alitura Naturals and The Clay Mask were born!
