About Soulshine Wellness Co.

Growing up Jamaican, herbal tea was simply part of life, something we drank for comfort, for pleasure, and for just about anything that ailed us. But during the pandemic, tea became a creative little world of its own.

I started an Instagram account called Me and a Cuppa Tea just for fun. I ordered teas from all kinds of brands, made little reels of myself tasting them, and quickly amassed a collection that was—quite frankly—a little ridiculous. 😂

Somewhere along the way, though, my curiosity began to shift. I became less interested in flavored novelty blends and more fascinated by what plants could actually do. I started taking herbalism classes, joining plant walks, reading every herbal book I could get my hands on, and making teas, tinctures, tonics, and syrups at home. Before long, I was blending something for nearly every ache, discomfort, or need that arose among my family and friends.

Eventually, people began asking where they could buy what I was making. That is how Soulshine Apothecary—and later, Soulshine Wellness—was born. My teas even found their way onto the shelves of two local wellness shops.

Then life shifted, and other endeavors commanded most of my attention for a while. Now, I'm finding my way back to Soulshine, bringing everything I've learned, lived, and loved along with me.

Most things still begin the same way: a teapot steeping, a notebook open, and jars of herbs nearby. I taste, adjust, and wait for that small internal yes. Mostly, it's care, curiosity, and time.

That is what I hope Soulshine Wellness offers too: not a fix or a prescription, but a gentle place to return, to your body, to the season, and to yourself. Thank you for being here!
