What is Brainstar Wellness?
In 2020 during the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, I got really into mixing my massive collection of tea bags for the exact functional and medicinal benefits I was looking for. Eventually, I figured, why don't I just cut to the chase and blend my own? After decades of struggling with my mental health, I became specifically interested in finding blends that helped my brain in the different ways I needed (for example; focus, sleep and mood), and the physical benefits came along for the ride. After more research, a 150 hour accredited herbalist certification, frequent educational apothecary visits, and lots of experimentation, I established my favorite go-to blends.
Meanwhile, as lockdown ensued, it became more apparent to me than ever before how beneficial not just what you put into your body, but also yoga, mindfulness, meditation, the arts, and community (human connection) are for fueling mental and physical wellness. It is my firm belief that they are all interconnected. In fact, the word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Yuj', meaning 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. That is when my idea for Brainstar Wellness was formed. I wanted to encompass all of it.
It is our mission to support mental and physical health through holistic wellness, yoga, community, and education.
