How It Started
It started with something simple…
I was looking for a scent I loved.
But the more I paid attention, the more I realized the products we bring into our homes don’t always support how we want to feel.
This became personal for me.
My mother lived with Parkinson’s, and toward the end of her life, I watched her lose abilities we take for granted… speech, movement, independence.
It made me pay attention in a different way.
To what we use every day.
To what we bring into our homes.
To what we expose ourselves to over time.
That awareness changed how I live… and what I create.
I began this journey with the feeling that something was off.
I started asking myself… what can I actually change?
-
Sight: I noticed how much my environment affected how I felt. Even small things, like color. That’s why I chose cobalt blue… it feels calm, steady, grounding. And I wanted a way to carry that with me. That’s where the bracelets came in.
-
Scent: Fragrance is one of the fastest ways I shift how I feel. I didn’t want to remove it…I just wanted to feel better about what I was using. So I focused on cleaner fragrance options that still smell incredible.
-
Touch: This started with my own hair loss… but it became something more. Slowing down, taking care of my skin, using simple rituals… it helped me shift from feeling stressed to feeling more grounded.
-
Sound: Some of my favorite memories are tied to music… family, holidays, celebration.
The feeling comes back instantly.
The only problem? I could never remember song names.
So I created CantiVida… something I could hum or type into and find the song instantly.
It’s my way back to that feeling.
-
Values: I also wanted the materials to feel right… not just the products.
That’s why I use recyclable aluminum and try to reduce unnecessary plastic wherever possible.

You know when something just feels...off?
When something feels off, I shift it with a quick spritz.

Have you ever been out shopping… and you don’t even know why?

Sometimes I end up buying ice cream just to feel better.
But when I actually know what I need?
Everything shifts.
I make better choices.
That’s intention.
