Meet the Maker Behind Essentials by Nature
If you received the Petit Clove Pink Box in January, there's a good chance you've already tried the Creamy Coffee Scrub, Breathe Easy Linen + Body Spray and the Breathe Easy Shower Steamers from Essentials by Nature.
This week we invited Jill Godin to share a bit more about her small Edmonton based business, Essentials by Nature.
Tammy: Thank you so much for taking time to share your story with us, Jill! Why don't we start with who you are and what your business is all about?
Jill: My name is Jill Godin and I own Essentials by Nature. We make all natural skincare, wellness, bath & body and home products.
Tammy: Which of your products have provided your customers with the greatest results?
Tammy: Can you tell us about a challenge that you have had to overcome in your business?
Tammy: What is one product that you wish more people knew the benefits of?
Tammy: Every entrepreneur has an origin story. So, how did it all begin for you? What is the why behind Essentials by Nature?
Jill: My two daughters both have severe asthma and allergies. I wanted to create all natural products that I could use with them and around our home. It started out as a hobby from my kitchen table and quickly grew. I've been a nurse for over 15 years and I really believe that being proactive about your health & wellness is really important.
Tammy: Which of your products have provided your customers with the greatest results?
Jill: The Magnesium spray. Most people don't really know much about it and can't believe how well it works once they start using it everyday.
Tammy: Can you tell us about a challenge that you have had to overcome in your business?
Jill: The biggest challenge I have had to overcome is not taking everything personally. You aren't going to please everyone and not everyone will love your brand, and I had to learn that it's ok.
Tammy: What is one product that you wish more people knew the benefits of?
Jill: Pretty much all of our skincare products! They are all such great quality and work so well.
Tammy: Who do you look up to in business, or in life?
Jill: I really look up to other businesses in my industry like Pura, OM, and So Luxury.
Tammy: How do you celebrate your wins?
Jill: I definitely celebrate the wins with my team and my family.
Tammy: Where's the best place that our readers could learn more about you?
Jill: The best place to learn more about us would be our website (www.essentialsbynature.ca), Instagram and Tik Tok.
