When my first daughter was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, I turned to natural remedies to help her after she had a severe skin breakout due to a number of surgeries. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Jamaica with my grand and great-grandparents where it was the norm to use herbs and oils for medicinal purposes, so when I got undesirable results from prescribed medications, I turned to my roots for a remedy. My blends of essential oils, herbs, and natural butters were what finally got my daughter some relief. My passion and knowledge grew and I later decided to channel them into developing my unique brand...and so NaturalAnnie Essentials burst into life!
