The goal of mend is to help spread real information and awareness about products that can potentially help so many people, families and pets. We keep our products as reasonably priced as possible, and I will only make products that I also use myself. I am a health conscious person, I don't put just anything in or on my body. I founded mend as a health-conscious company and I don't put just anything in my products. I am very physically active; I have studied Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for five years (as well as other martial arts and self defense techniques) and practice 5-7 days a week. !t hurts a lot, but I absolutely love it! I run regularly with my pups and I do high intensity interval training. I maintain a healthy diet most days (but I do love cheeseburgers, ice cream and anything peanut butter + chocolate)! Physical activity and healthy living are a huge part of my personal philosophy for well-being, and so I started mend as a company dedicated to healthy living. mend uses only the best organic ingredients which we purchase from the most sustainable eco-friendly businesses possible. My continuing vision for mend is to make a product that helps people live well. If you have enjoyed and benefitted from our products but have a financial issue, I ask that you please email us and I will work with you to get you the products you need in a way that makes sense for both our growing company as well as your pocket. My goal is to be informative and up-front, and to help as many people as possible enjoy the products from which I have benefitted so very much myself.
