Tell us about yourself
I am a bestselling author of In Her Element: Sea Salt, Surrender and the Journey to a Whole Life, and the owner of the most loved sea salt brand in the world, Celtic Sea Salt. For over 30 years, I led the sea salt industry through trends and innovation and received endless testimonials from customers who have incredibly great results using my sea salt and products. I source sea salts from all over the world.
My passion for providing the world with clean, sustainable, high mineral salt has grown my brand to the most trusted sea salt available. I am also a mother of three, the oldest of whom was born with Cerebral Palsy. My journey of seeking healing solutions came out of my need to help repair my son's brain damage. I ultimately began questioning the cause and effect of our actions and intentions and, in turn, began to study lifestyle choices that promote optimal well-being.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Cultivating relationships with my staff, customers, and sources.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Navigating through adversity such as supply chain issues, quality assurance, keeping a peace of mind that it will always work out.

- Know your numbers. Have a good financial grasp on all the moving parts of your business.
- Know your source and build a strong relationship with your supply chains.
- Build great connections and relationships with influential people.
