    Two Friends, Two Journeys on One Path to Spiritual Wellness and a Healthy Lifestyle

    I.E. Spa Indulgences LLC


    Twelve years ago, my sister-friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. During her diagnosis, we learned we were consuming many unhealthy chemicals through our skin. From there, we started researching organic ingredients and remembering the natural remedies we grew up on lessons from our ancestors.

    I would share my learnings with her, and she would encourage me to stay on my quest. In her goal to practice a healthier lifestyle, I began making natural skin-moisturizing products, selecting the best ingredients that she could have confidence in using while undergoing her treatments.


    At the time, I was in another career, so I gave the skincare products away. I was not planning to start a wellness business, but I could not ignore the demand for the products, my entrepreneurial spirit, and my dream of owning a spa.


    I took a year to perfect my recipes, gather feedback from a diverse market, conduct deeper research and testing, set up the legalities, produce marketing collateral, and marry all of that with my love of spas.


    In 2015, my I.E. Spa Indulgences was born. My objective was for it to be a healthy-lifestyle brand, accessible to everyone at an affordable price. I wanted everyone to feel the love poured into my handmade products and remember to treat themselves to an at-home spa experience with something special and good for them.


    My sister-friend stayed on course with her medical regimen and is cancer-free now. We remain each other’s strongest champions.
