.
Shawna has been in the holistic health industry since 2011. 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.She began selling these oils from her yoga studio in San Diego. Eventually, years later, John + Shawna met. Inspired by the success of the yoga studio in San Diego, they opened more locations: 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. They began selling the oils at little gift shops in the Yosemite area calling themselves "The Smelly Sasquatch." People loved the product and we loved that we could take nature to inspire people to feel better. They continued to sell the oils in San Diego + Yosemite area. They made it a goal to get into Yosemite National Park and started to attend trade shows! Not only was their product well received by Yosemite National Park, they took on accounts throughout the country.
Fast forward to now, where their products are regularly sold at national parks, gift shops, airports, zoos, hotels, resorts, and more. You can find them everywhere from big box stores to little mom and pops shops. Based in San Diego, featured in 20+ states in the USA, they do everything together and love the feeling they get when sending their products to consumers throughout the country.
"We've grown + come a long way from our days of believing in each other + nature. It isa dream to help so many people with the oils that helped me so long ago! We sell to wholesale buyers in the retail, wellness, tourist, spa, + resort industry. Our goal is to provide people with products that make them happy while keeping everything natural and organic. We would love to work with you and have you have a Smelly Sasquatch sighting at your business! " - Love, Shawna + John
