Today we’d like to introduce you to Josie Castaneda.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Josie. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Curandera Remedies was birthed after 10 years of working in the fashion industry. Yoga, meditation, and herb remedies supported me in time to heal long-standing, work-related stress and anxiety. After many questions on what helped me to ‘become happier’, I began to share what I had learned.
Curandera Remedies is a melange of all I have studied, Herbalism, Health Coaching, Yoga, and Meditation. The products are apothecary remedies for individuals to reconnect to the sacred, natural world and bring harmony into their lives.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
One of the biggest challenges in building a business has been to stay true to the long-term vision and not let ‘popular views’ affect decisions. Keeping true to the brand values is integral to staying true to your vision.
what should we know about Curandera Remedies? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Curandera Remedies is known for it’s proprietary, artisanal products. We are proud to offer unique, botanical formulas created with the purpose to heal, they are much more than beauty products! Our specialty is alternatives to everyday essentials like toothpaste, body oils, and therapeutic salves. Curandera Remedies have an added layer of intention as we give all of our products a Crystal Sound Bath before they are shipped, something we believe gives our products it’s radiant energy!!
It would be great to hear about any apps, books, podcasts or other resources that you’ve used and would recommend to others.
My absolute favorite podcast is “On Being with Krista Tippett”, she has an incredible way of getting deep conversations with a lightheartedness that will inspire you! One of my favorite books, which allowed me to feel liberated from the ‘cookie cutter’ views of life was The Fire Starter Sessions by Danielle LaPorte. But, my constant inspiration is the Indian guru Amma, considered a living saint. She inspires me to be the best version of myself.
