Who's Behind the Biz: the Top Dog, the Big Cheese, the Leader of the Pack…
Hi, that’s me! My name is Sandy, and I am the owner of Sunny Brews Apothecary. This quote puts me at ease.
​
“Into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul” by John Muir.
​
I have an affinity for nature, it has always been a part of me. I'm the kind of person who'd rather be covered in dirt than designer perfume. Nature's my playground, and I've been exploring it since I could crawl. As a kid, I was more likely to be found building forts in the woods than playing video games.
​
My love affair with the great outdoors has only grown stronger over the years. And since I'm a bit of a plant nerd, I figured why not use nature's bounty to take care of my skin? I mean, who needs a whole beauty routine when you've got a garden full of healing herbs? Let's just say, my skincare regimen is a little more earthy than most.
My Story
Fast forward a few years from that dirt covered kid, and I'm knee-deep in herbalism and aromatherapy, armed with several certifications and lots of training. Basically, I traded in my childhood forts for a lab coat.
​
I earned my certification as a Clinical Aromatherapist from Aroma Apothecary Healing Arts Academy. I've studied under some of the most legendary herbalists out there, like Rosemary Gladstar (the herbalist equivalent of a rock star), other amazing herbalists such as Rosalee de la Foret, jim mcdonald, Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa, and many more. I've delved into everything from aromatic medicine to product formulation, and I'm still learning. Because let's be real, there's a whole world of botanical wonders to explore.
​
Living in rural Missouri allows me the opportunity to wildcraft and grow many of the herbs I use in my products. Other ingredients like butters, carrier oils, and essential oils are naturally derived, responsibly sourced, organic when possible, and never tested on animals. At Sunny Brews Apothecary, I'm passionate about creating products that are not only effective but also sustainable and ethical. I handcraft everything with purpose and care. Think of Sunny Brews Apothecary as your personal dose of nature-powered clean beauty products.
