Why I Created Livingood Products
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had an intuitive sense about health and well-being. I didn’t like microwaves, and I never felt comfortable drinking out of plastic water bottles. I couldn’t quite explain it, but I always knew I wanted to live in a way that aligned with nature. My health journey began at the age of 19 and deepened significantly at 22, when I experienced drop foot after having my son. It was a turning point.
What I didn’t know then was that pregnancy relaxes your spine, which can exacerbate any pre-existing conditions like scoliosis—especially if you don’t follow proper therapy afterward. Unfortunately, physical therapy made my condition worse. This was the moment I truly committed to learning how to heal my body naturally. I studied Structural Integration, became a Gyrotonic Expansion System® trainer, and spent years helping others with chronic pain. Along the way, I healed my own body and eventually helped hundreds of others in the process.
While working at Fantastic Sam’s, my back went out, and I was diagnosed with severe scoliosis at just 22 years old. I was a single mom with an 8-month-old and was devastated when I was told I needed spinal fusion. Instead of accepting that fate, I decided to look beyond the United States for answers. I began exploring how other countries treat chronic conditions like mine, and that search led me to a natural, holistic approach to healing that would change my life.
I also worked in hospice care, doing hair for elderly patients, and I was shocked by the products I was using on their skin. Many of the lotions and creams were filled with synthetic ingredients, and it was then that I began digging deeper into what really works.
When my grandfather, who is a living example of goodness, fell and was in a nursing home, I began applying Living Good Every Day Lotion—now known as Living Gold Lotion—on his back. I wasn’t expecting much, but to my surprise, I saw how quickly his bruise healed and how much better his skin felt. I had initially applied it for dry, itchy skin, but the results were beyond what I could have hoped for.
That experience was a turning point, and after many years of research, formulating, and gathering feedback, I finally developed Livingood Products. These products aren’t just a business for me—they’re the result of years of experience, trial, and deep passion for healing the body using what nature has provided. Livingood Products is the culmination of everything I’ve learned, tested, and experienced over the years.
Our products are powerful, pure, and plant-powered—no shortcuts, no fillers, just real ingredients that have been used for thousands of years. As we continue to grow, we will not only share our high-quality products but also tips on whole-body wellness and movement so that you can feel as good as possible every day.
Livingood Products is more than just skincare; it’s about living well, moving well, and nourishing your body with the healing power of plants. I am so excited to finally share them with you, after years of research, refinement, and real-life feedback.
