Our Roots
HELLO THERE! MY NAME IS KATHERINE CLANCY.
I am happy to share with you how I obtained the abundance of vitality that I now have in my life. Previously, I had chronic health problems most of my life. My health problems affected many of my life choices, including career choices. It made it very difficult for me to have a child. Finally, at the age of 43, I gave birth to a beautiful little daughter. As thrilled as I was to have this longed-for child, there was a very great cost to my health.
Six years ago, I set out to resolve my health problems, bring vitality into my life, and live a full, optimal life with my daughter. I am a very curious person and enjoy exploring creative solutions to problems. I also have a strong background in research and science as an environmental scientist and professor at a university. My strong spiritual practice centered in yoga with over 800 hours in yoga training guided my lifestyle, but I really needed something to help bring up my energy.
I tried many alternative healing modalities, and some were quite effective. But they were complicated, time consuming, or expensive (or all three!). When I stumbled onto essential oils, I was intrigued but didn’t really know what I was doing. I decided to go for a certification because, believe it or not, it seemed cheaper than trying find a well trained aromatherapist. Within less than a year I lost over 40 pounds, regained my vitality, and started living my optimal life. As a testament to my health I took my five-year-old daughter camping at Badland’s National Park.
“Botanicals are high-impact low-cost products that can relieve pain, anxiety, or lack of motivation to help you reach the next step in your healing journey. ”
Business Philosophy
My business is called Meet the Herb Halfway because the gift that botanicals bring to our health is the gentle ways they can restore our energy so that we can add our own efforts to revive our health. All healing modalities (including western medicine) tell us that living a vibrant healthy life comes from a multi-faceted approach to diet, sleep, stress, movement, and breathing. Botanicals are high-impact low-cost products that can relieve pain, anxiety, or lack of motivation to help you reach the next step in your healing journey.
My products have helped me, and my clients regain energy so that we can live optimally having the energy to easily cook a healthy meal, take a peaceful walk, return to a yoga practice (or excise regime) or have a restorative night’s sleep. They bring encouraging energy with minimal side effects and they smell amazing!
