At Lavender & Leaf, our passion for natural wellness is more than just a business—it's a way of life.
We are a team of three dedicated people who believe in the power of the natural world in promoting a healthy mind, body, and spirit, community, and mindful living. Each of us is on our own path of holistic wellness, and it is the unique convergence of these journeys that forms the heart of our brand. Our shared commitment is rooted in the experience of living a more natural and intentional life, and we are excited to share in the journey with our clients.
April brings a dynamic foundation built on over a decade of
experience spanning herbalism, retail operations, and management. Her career is
distinguished by a commitment to learning, a philosophy of
heart-led leadership, and a strong background in visual and operational
merchandising.
April's passion lies in the intentional creation of
meaningful products and engaging retail experiences. A co-owner of Lavender
& Leaf, she is driven by a desire to nurture both body and spirit while
fostering genuine connections with customers and community members.
Outside of her professional life, April is a devoted mom.
Her personal journey has been profoundly shaped by resilience, continual
growth, and a genuine passion for people, qualities she seamlessly integrates
into every aspect of her work. She enjoys connecting with others through deep,
thoughtful conversations, reinforcing her belief in the power of human
connection.
Casey brings a unique perspective to the world of holistic wellness. Grounded in her education in biomedical science with an emphasis on nutrition, she deeply understands that our nutrition has a direct and important impact on our wellness. This knowledge is a core component of her personal philosophy, but her passion for health extends far beyond a clinical view.
As a co-owner of Cloudscape Hill Lavender Farm, a role she is deeply passionate about, her practical experience on the farm complements her scientific background. She is currently working on her yoga instructor certification, a perfect example of her belief in seeking wholeness in all elements of our health and seamlessly integrating a holistic lifestyle with a scientific understanding of the human body.
As a practicing ecotherapist and co-owner of Cloudscape Hill
Lavender Farm, Jim is literally grounded in his work. He finds a profound sense
of "right at home" in the lavender fields, where the ecopsychological
principle that a person's well-being is intrinsically tied to the health and
vitality of the earth is continuously reinforced. The act of cultivating lavender
and crafting wellness products is itself an embodiment of reciprocal ecological
healing. By nurturing the land and transforming its yield into products that
engage the senses, Jim facilitates a direct, tangible bridge between nature and
wellness.
As co-owner of Lavender & Leaf, he invites others to
find their deep sense of wellness and belonging by actively engaging in their
journey with a selection of natural wellness products, sourcing not just from
the lavender fields but also from a community of local artisans dedicated to
the natural world.
