For years, we climbed the corporate ladder, yet felt increasingly disconnected from what truly mattered. John spent decades as a software industry director, while Janet worked in branding and advertising before launching her own interior design firm. We were seekers and builders who traveled the world, only to realize that people everywhere share the same fundamental need for balance, presence, and healing.

We decided to create our business in 2014 but the true spark for earthWest ignited in 2020 at our Pennsylvania brick-and-mortar shop. As our local community struggled with their physical and mental well-being, they turned to us for practical guidance. Janet, who had been topical products for years, stepped up to help.

Frustrated by mainstream brands making promises they couldn't deliver; she went back to school for herbalism and aromatherapy to build a line rooted in radical honesty.We made a strict pact: No harsh chemicals, no unnecessary additives, and no compromises. We formulate strictly in small batches, avoid harsh chemical extractions, and prioritize ethically harvested ingredients.

As our family grew through the rewarding journey of foster-to-adopt, our professional vision expanded into the spiritual realm. While Janet mastered plant properties, John became a practitioner of Reiki and Jin Shin Jyutsu. We realized true wellness isn’t just about the skin—it’s about the spirit.

Today, earthWest is the amalgamation of our life’s work. Our creations, like the crystal-infused Centers Collection, transform daily self-care from a routine chore into a ritualized, grounding experience. Living closer to nature on our homestead, we invite you to view your own self-care through a lens of intention, knowing that what you put on your body perfectly aligns with your values as a human being.
