About Our Founder

I’ve been a psychiatrist in California for 25+ years. It was clear from the beginning that, although many people seeking help were interested in learning about prescription medication options, many more were also interested in learning about the whole host of nonprescription options as well. On the one hand, people worried about long term side effects, addiction, and withdrawal. On the other, they sought natural, organic and holistic approaches.

Traveling this personal path with so many allowed me to recognize the inherent need for an alternative to mood, sleep and general wellness prescription medication. I set out to develop essential supplements with a focus on helping people heal and cultivate mind and body. The privilege of seeing so many people over the years taught me that we can often respond best to simple, natural, well thought out remedies. These formulas were inspired by that learning and by my hope to combine biological insights, gold standard ingredients and thoughtful care in our supplements.
