Today we’d like to introduce you to Claudia and Kenneth Rhea.
Claudia and Kenneth, please share your story with us.
Our story started when we moved to Florida after living 20 years in London. We had been so used to having a wellness lifestyle where everything we ate was organic, shopping our food at the local “Farm to Table” supermarket, and buying beauty products that were wholesome and all natural in Europe. When we moved to Boca Raton, we had a bit of a shock. We could not locate any wholesome place where to buy our products nor our groceries. Wholefoods were just not good enough, unfortunately. So, I started calling London and tried to see how I could bring all these products that we were used to using there. We realized how much of a gap there was in the market for Green Beauty… beauty from the inside out. We started researching products and found that America has some of the most amazing creators of Green Beauty and there is NOWHERE for them to sell it. So, our concept was born: “a modern apothecary providing wellness every day through wholesome, 100% natural products for beauty from the inside out, for the mind, the body and the soul”. We sell the most fabulous, clean products for inner and outer beauty on the market today. After 1 year in Boca Raton, we expanded to open our 2nd location in Aventura, which has been so well received by our customers.
Has it been a smooth road?
The road has been divine and we are so grateful for this. I believe our timing has helped us in many ways. We opened in a moment where this is exactly what people are looking for. People are tired of being sold products that claim to be natural, when in reality that is not. We research every single ingredient in all of our products, we test them all on us, our family, our children, and our friends before we even place it on our shelves. There are so many ingredients that are claimed natural and un-harmful, yet they are so controversial because of the effects they can have on the body. We DO NOT accept any kind of synthetic ingredient in our lineup, nor any controversial, nor toxic chemical that may cause any harmful effect. The products we sell are so clean, that the benefits they bring to people are amazing and our customers love them and always come for more.
We aim to educate every single person that comes into our stores by explaining to them our concept and that Beauty comes from within… once we explain that to them they get super excited and interested in all our products. From supplements to tonic sand elixirs and topical serums and creams, we have the whole body covered.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Four Winds modern apothecary – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Our business is all about providing a lifestyle of wellness. The quote on our wall as you come into the Boca store says ” the world as we have created it is a process of our thinking, it cannot be changed without changing our thinking” by Albert Einstein. A lifestyle of wellness is a choice one makes to make better choices in life, of what you eat, of what you put on your body, and of how you think. We are here to help those who wish to start this lifestyle by offering wholesome, clean, 100% natural products for their everyday life…
We differentiate ourselves specifically in being so strict with our criteria of what is natural and what is not and in being a Green beauty store that offers both Inner & Outer Beauty. The products we offer in our store are very clean, and we do not compromise on this. There is no other place in Florida dedicated to inner and outer wellbeing with these criteria, encompassing so many fabulous brands from all over the world.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
We LOVE the weather…. the swaying of the palm trees, the warmth of the breezes and the smell of the sea every single day. This is why we moved here. We love that people are always smiling and that everyone is always so calm and relaxed. We love living in paradise, whether it rains, thunders, or shines, we are always happy here. We love being so close to the beach and riding our bicycles to the beach with our kids; taking long walks with our dog in the evenings and just enjoying the beautiful weather.
There is absolutely nothing we dislike about this beautiful city!!!
