His background in brewing beer and love for the rocks and trees. Her background in essentail oils and love for the plants + flowers. Their shared love and respect for nature. The Smelly Sasquatch is what happens when a yoga teacher and rock climber fall in love.
​
Shawna and John Bebbling are a husband and wife team and owners of The Smelly Sasquatch, a100% natural, Sasquatch-inspired, motivational travel wellness product line.
The first time we came to Yosemite, I got out of the car, took a deep breath and said, "Oh my gosh, I wish I could take this smell with me." Years later, now we can and so can you.
​
Shawna has been in the holistic health industry since 2011 owning multiple yoga studios + selling essential oils in Southern California. She used to be a college professional and she was on anti-depressants for seven years! As she slowly began to get herself off the medication, essential oils are what she used + it worked! She has searched the world (literally) to find the purest oils to help others. Eventually, years later, John + Shawna met. They opened a retreat center in Joshua Tree + another wellness center in the Yosemite area. Inspired by the abundance of nature, fire prevention strategies and sustainable way of living that exists in the Yosemite area, the two began collecting fallen trees + branches and trimmings from the neighbors on "burn days" for fire prevention and distilling the leaves and needles into essentail oils + making products out of the wood. One thing has led to another and they have created The Smelly Sasquatch, a sustainable, organic wellness product line. The aim of the business is to use nature to inspire people to feel better.
​
Fast forward to now, where our products are regularly sold at national parks, tourists stores, airports, zoos, resorts, and more. We've grown + come a long way from our days of believing in each other + nature.
​
We sell to wholesale buyers in the tourist industry. Our goal is to provide people with products that make them happy on their travels + remind them of their time with nature while keeping everything natural and organic. We would love to work with you and have you have a Smelly Sasquatch sighting at your business! ​​​
