OUR TEAM
ASHÂ SMITH
Founder and CEO
I founded this company as a result of contracting Lyme disease and due to the inadequacies around the pandemic. Ironically I've always had an interest in natural medicine and public health which is reflected in my undergraduate education. With prior knowledge in the health sciences and an innate passion for bettering the world, addressing these health challenges which I was presented with came naturally to me. I quickly made it my full time job and center of attention to solve the problem. Well, it's been a little harder to cure Lyme than I anticipated, but I've learned a heck of a lot since contracting the disease in early 2018. Lyme being a chronic illness in many cases, as well as systemic, you learn a lot about disease in general, which has broadened my interest in medicine as a whole. I am now happily committed to this field of study and look forward to making it my new career. I enjoy product development, studying and making plant medicine, contemplating the health sciences, and discovering innovative solutions to the problems we face. I also love challenging the many controversial theories and interpretations that inundate contemporary medicine.
​
Other than my ambitious professional goals I self identify as being simple, aspire to being humble and ordinary, and I enjoy nature and spending time with family.
