About Us

I worked for two years with the founder of Medicine Mama in Ojai California. I helped Medicine Mama build their business and market the now famed Sweet Bee Magic and V-Magic products. In fact, Donna (Medicine Mama’s founder) and I originally envisioned Hemp Genii together and she helped me formulate the original versions of the current salve—we worked on it for years and went through multiple iterations.

Donna eventually left the operations of Medicine Mama and I also departed that project focusing on my own journey, continuing to deepen my knowledge of plant medicines. I never lost the vision for Hemp Genii and I have been wholeheartedly committed to hemp and other plant medicines for the last five years.

Plant medicine is at the core of holistic living and I am excited to bring you our first formulation, built on the foundation of those early days with Donna but eventually iterating toward the current more advanced offering. I have big gratitude to Donna for those early lessons and I hope Hemp Genii finds the wings to help heal and nourish your life.
