Eka Novami - ORMA skin care http://lamiagioia.com/

La Mia Gioia (pronounced "joya") is a family owned business that was created some thirty-two years ago by a mother who believed that it's equally as important to pay attention to what we put on our body as to what we put in our mouth.

She made sure her family always consumed a healthy diet and educated her four daughters that caring for their skin and using natural products are very important aspects of maintaining the health and hygiene of a person. She would spend a great amount of time over the years to find the right balance of ingredients to produce healthy, non-abrasive skin care products for her girls, family and friends.

Her formulas were passed down to her youngest daughter who carries on her mother's dream to keep improving her formulas. She is constantly looking for new ingredients from around the world regardless of the cost to create gentle, effective and safe products.

Thirty-two years later after a few bumpy roads along the way, we proudly introduce ORMA, our brand of natural & organic skin care products for every man and woman who is ready to start promoting a healthier way of life by using natural products as well as being committed to eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly.

Since 2008, Jennifer Bonetto has been the soul behind Real Feng Shui SOULutions. Her mission now is to bring "true" Feng Shui to the world and help as many people with the tools she's acquired. She is a certified Master Practitioner, Certified Master Instructor, and a fellow for the American College of Classical Feng Shui. She also serves as co-moderator for the Xuan Kong discussion group. She is also a member of the International Feng Shui Guild. Currently, she is part of the 400 year old Wu Chang Pai mastery lineage of Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai, of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, through American Feng Shui Master, Denise Liotta-Dennis.

 Her background includes employment with several Fortune 500 corporations. Jennifer received an MBA from Chapman University in Orange, CA. Having lectured, written several articles, e-books and currently authored a book on Classical Feng Shui, she continues to educate people on this ancient science that has been mistranslated and misused throughout the years. After losing her mother to cancer in 1999, Jennifer embarked on a spiritual mission that began her journey to heal her body, mind, and soul. In search of a passionate new beginning and good health, she began to explore alternative healing modalities. She learned how emotions, beliefs and the environment affect all aspects of our lives. Resonating with Chinese metaphysics, Jennifer was able to combine her two great loves, real estate and Chinese metaphysics, by employing Classical Feng Shui. Having received audits from various types of Feng Shui Consultants, it wasn't until she found Feng Shui from the Wu Chang Pai mastery lineage that her life changed in "miraculous" ways. After utilizing this method with her clients, she achieved results beyond her expectations. This success has had a profound impact on all her clients and hence, Real Feng Shui SOULutions was created.

Jin Jun, MATCM, L.Ac. - www.seasnax.com

Jin earned her Master’s in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine at YoSan University.  During her studies, she developed an interest in nutrition as a tool for prevention of disease, self-healing and self-empowerment.  In her view, nutrition/food is medicine for the soul and body and the only lasting treatment for self-healing.  While in school, she gave birth to her daughter Namu (“tree” in Korean).  During her pregnancy and motherhood, Jin’s understanding and appreciation for nutrition and health gained more relevance as she realized that it was no longer about “me,” but “we.”  She is committed to educating, empowering and serving children, mothers and families.  She is also the founder of Acuparents, an on-line support community for parents in the health care profession sharing natural and holistic-minded parenting philosophies.  SeaSnax is a socially conscious, kid-inspired and kid-friendly business.  The founders are moms and dads whose kids eat seaweed like candy.  So, we make SeaSnax as if our own kids eat them every day because they do!  We contribute 10% of our annual net profit to non-profit organizations committed to making the world a better and gentler place for our children and our earth.  SeaSnax (by NatureSnax)

Rhonda Snyder – founder, Bites of Bliss

http://www.mybitesofbliss.com/

Bites of Bliss are superfood bites. What do we mean by “superfood”? Superfoods are foods that contain highphytonutrient content and as a result, have many health benefits. Our products contain many of these high quality superfoods which provide the body with energy, vitality and pure bliss. Bites of Bliss are raw, organic, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and have no added sugar.

Bites of Bliss was created by Rhonda Snyder, CNHP (Certified Natural Health Professional).  Rhonda has always enjoyed creating healthful meals and desserts using alternative ingredients for the highest quality result. After removing added sugars and most grains from her diet, she still wanted something sweet to enjoy after meals, so Bites of Bliss was born.

Sita Thompson - http://www.sitastyle.com/

Growing up with an organic farmer as a father and an artist as a mother, and a beauty queen as a grandmother, it’s no suprise that Sita Thompson would be inspired to launch her own eco-venture into the world of fashion. Learning to sew at the age of 11, Sita’s future was set out from that first McCall pattern she made. At age 17 she moved to Europe for school and to intern with Irene Dill, a couture designer for her label Issue. It was during her internship experience that she realized one day she would have her own brand.

A woman with many talents, Thompson moved to India to work in in film, television and continue her dance career. Her desire to launch her own fashion label was again inspired after connecting with the unique and beautiful fabrics from India,  as well as her discovery of the elegant way Indian women reflected their feminine essence.
