about

House of Her was born out of desperation, creativity, and a deep longing for peace. As a mom of three young children, I struggled with postpartum challenges and found myself searching for ways to calm my mind and spirit. In those moments, the simplest acts brought me comfort—lighting a candle, taking a bath, or even just watching the water run. The natural aromas of essential oils and herbs awakened something within me. They didn’t just soothe my senses; they drew me closer to God. Those quiet encounters became a space where I could pray, reflect, and truly feel His love surrounding me.

From these moments of self-discovery came an awakening—a world of self-love, self-care, and peace that I had been longing for. House of Her began humbly in my small two-bedroom apartment, where I made soaps, bath salts, bath bombs, and candles from natural ingredients. At first, I gifted them to others, hoping they would feel the same joy I had found. The act of creating these products was healing, a way to share love and care with others. But I doubted myself and resisted selling them, convinced people wouldn’t take me seriously. I poured my earnings from hairstyling into buying supplies just to give these creations away, even though it didn’t make sense financially.

Yet, the encouragement of others pushed me to step out in faith. Aromatherapy became more than a passion—it was a journey into the vast and beautiful world of herbs and their healing properties. I became obsessed with reading ingredients and ensuring my products were rooted in nature. If an ingredient wasn’t natural, I wanted nothing to do with it.

After struggling with my mental health, I realized I needed to prioritize my physical health, too. Like so many women, I suffered silently from recurrent issues like yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. The harsh medications only provided temporary relief, leaving me searching for a better, natural way to care for my body. That’s when I discovered Yoni Steaming, also known as vaginal steaming. The idea of cleansing and detoxing with herbs seemed radical at first, but I was determined to try. I researched, sourced, and mixed herbs tailored to my needs, and the results were life-changing.

By working on my health and incorporating steaming, I received a shocking surprise—I became pregnant with my fourth child while having an IUD that had been in place for five years with no plans of removal. Not only did I become pregnant, but I carried my baby for nine months with the IUD still inside. I was terrified, but I leaned on the peace that God had already given me, trusting that He would see me through again. And He did just that.

Throughout my pregnancy, I continued to create products and grow my business. When my baby was born, I didn’t miss a beat—no postpartum depression, to God be the glory! However, my daughter’s arrival brought a new set of challenges. She was born allergic to over 50 things and suffered from extreme eczema. My life changed drastically, but I knew I could handle it because God had already prepared me. He had equipped me to be a researcher and a reader, seeking out what is good for us from nature.
