About the Soap Maker
I am a California native. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and have an affinity for natural products, natural health care, and gardening. In 1993 I began providing Reiki healing services. In 1996 I began teaching Reiki, and working with flower essences. I also experienced a personal crisis that encouraged me to examine and change the way I was living my life.
Sacred Showers was born out of my personal growth, prompted by the on-going needs of clients and friends. In June, 2003, I mixed my first batch of cold-process soap and became instantly devoted to natural soap. Since then and as my vision grows, I continue to expand and refine soap blending techniques and formulas.
By the sheer variety of soap blends I offer, it is easy to see that I love making soap! I also love discovering and developing techniques that maintain or enhance the essential energies and innate healing qualities of the natural ingredients I use.
The majority of soaps I make use only natural ingredients for this reason. Due to customer request and market demand, in 2010 I expanded my soap line to include blends with fragrance oils, particularly the beer, wine and champagne soaps. These updated formulas still provide a 97-98% natural bar soap. Please enjoy and thank you to everyone who spoke up and requested an expanded fragrance line.
Over the years, a phrase I frequently heard was, “I don’t have time for myself.” While showering one day, it occurred to me that since most people bathe regularly, opportunity for effortless, self-care might be found within the bathing ritual itself. All that was necessary to facilitate just such an a possibility was an appropriate soap, something that went beyond the wonderful aromatherapy and herbal ideas already in the marketplace. While effective and supportive in their own right, I was looking for something more diverse, a soap purposefully blended to be a holistic healing tool. To make a rather long story short, Sacred Showers soap line was eventually born
