From Pain to Passion: The Story Behind Wyoming Wild Organics
My journey to natural wellness hasn’t been easy. As my health and life spiraled into unsustainable patterns, each day became harder to bear. I felt lost, hopeless, and unsure of how to move forward. My battle with Hashimoto's Disease and chronic nerve issues forced me to take a hard look at my life. These struggles were the turning point that led me to a powerful realization: if I wanted to truly heal, I had to take my health into my own hands. This was when I discovered the path of natural wellness—a journey that not only transformed my life but also sparked the creation of Wyoming Wild Organics.
In 2022, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease. At the time, I had no idea what that meant—only that my thyroid was under attack by my own immune system. Along with hormonal imbalances, I began experiencing debilitating tiredness, insomnia, and hair loss, to name a few. These symptoms left me feeling like a shell of myself, struggling to get through each day.
As I learned more about Hashimoto’s, I also faced another challenge: unexplained nerve pain throughout my body that was relentless. I saw doctor after doctor, and specialist after specialist. But despite endless appointments and tests—many of which came back normal—no one could explain what was wrong. It felt like I was living in a body I no longer recognized.
The final straw came during a visit to my primary care physician. He had assured me that if my test results came back normal, he would refer me to the specialist I had been requesting to see. But when the results showed nothing abnormal, his only recommendation was to take over-the-counter pain medication—nothing more. I left the office in tears, feeling frustrated, exhausted, and utterly defeated.
That moment became a wake-up call. I realized that if I wanted to truly heal, I couldn’t keep relying on a system that wasn’t helping me. I decided to step away from traditional medicine and commit to a path of natural healing. It was time to take my health into my own hands.
My journey into natural wellness began with research—lots of research. I delved into skincare, body care, and healthy homes, and that’s when I uncovered something shocking. Many of the popular skincare brands I had been using for years were filled with harmful toxins, like parabens and synthetic fragrances, which could disrupt hormones or irritate sensitive skin. This revelation led me to explore cleaner alternatives. That’s when I became fascinated with tallow, a natural fat used for centuries in skincare. I realized that using tallow as a base for lotions and balms would allow me to create products where I knew exactly what went into them—no mystery ingredients, no harmful chemicals.
That’s how Wyoming Wild Organics was born. It’s more than just a business; it’s a reflection of my healing journey and my mission to inspire others to take charge of their wellness. Through my products, I want to empower people to simplify their routines, embrace natural living, and feel good about what they put on their bodies. I believe that healing begins with small, mindful choices, and I’m here to make those choices easier for others.
While I’m still very much in the midst of my healing journey, this business gives me a reason to keep moving forward. There are days when the struggle feels overwhelming, but creating these products and sharing them with others brings me hope and purpose. Each item I craft is a reminder of why I started this journey in the first place: to find a way to heal and to help others do the same.
To anyone who feels overwhelmed or lost in their wellness journey, know that you’re not alone. Progress isn’t always linear, and healing takes time. But every small, mindful choice matters. Whether it’s switching to natural skincare or rethinking the ingredients in your home products, every decision adds up. I invite you to join me on this journey—to simplify, to heal, and to thrive naturally. Let’s take that first step together.
