Career

Entrepreneur & Environmentalist

She started the brand Barenaturals 2012 by combining activism and entrepreneurship with a mission to create positive impact products to increase reforestation around the globe in some of the most environmentally and economically challenged places such as Madagascar, Nepal, Haiti and Indonesia. She started up this social enterprise while she was still working as a midwife and hypnotherapist for 20 years.[10][11][12][13]

Since 2016, she sells meditative candles on Amazon.[2][14][15][16][17][18]
