Sol E’Ciel didn’t start as a business idea.

It started as a feeling I kept ignoring until I couldn't anymore.

For a long time I was running on empty and just kind of pushing through it. Something felt off, like I was constantly working against myself instead of with myself. My body was tired and my nervous system was always on and somewhere along the way I had completely stopped actually taking care of myself even though I was surrounded by the beauty industry every single day.

I spent years as a hairstylist and I genuinely loved it. I loved making women feel good. I loved the trust that forms when someone sits in your chair and lets you be part of how they see themselves. And I got to witness something really beautiful in that work, the way confidence visibly changes a person. The way someone's whole energy shifts when they feel good in their body. You could see it happen in real time. That never got old for me.

But underneath all of it I was really struggling.

I was dealing with hypothyroidism and high blood pressure and honestly a list of health issues that kept growing no matter what I did. I saw what felt like every doctor you could think of. I tried almost every healing modality out there. I was doing everything right on paper and still not getting better. It was exhausting in a way that's hard to describe, chasing answers, trying the next thing, never quite finding solid ground.

What finally started to shift things wasn't another appointment or another protocol. It was slowing down. Actually slowing down. And cleaning up what I was putting on and around my body every single day. The more I removed, the better I felt. The more I rested, the more my body responded. It sounds simple and in some ways it is, but getting there was anything but.

That experience changed everything for me.

I started noticing how much my environment and my daily routines were affecting how I felt in ways I had completely overlooked. I got curious about ingredients, not from a place of fear but from finally paying attention. I started reading labels, experimenting at home, gravitating toward oils and fragrance and small rituals that felt grounding instead of like another thing on a list.

That journey led me to creating Sol e'Ciel.

I had spent years in the industry and I understood what women actually wanted from their products, and I had seen firsthand how much the way something makes you feel matters just as much as what it does. I wanted to take everything I knew and build something cleaner and more intentional, products that were actually effective and actually good for your body, not just labeled clean.

And I wanted to reach more people. Sitting with someone in a chair one at a time is intimate and I'll always love that, but this felt like a way to extend that same feeling further. To help more women feel good in their bodies, slow down a little, and care for themselves in a way that actually supports their health instead of working against it.

Because what I learned through my own healing is that the nervous system is everything. When you are calm, when you feel safe, when you take even five minutes to be intentional with yourself and your body, that is where real healing lives. Not in the next supplement or the most optimized routine. In the slowness. In the presence. In choosing yourself for a minute before the day takes over.

That's what every Sol e'Ciel product is made for. Not to add more to your day but to give you a moment inside of it. Something sensory and grounding that brings your nervous system down and reminds you that you're worth slowing down for.

The name means sun and sky. To me it's about balance, warmth and softness together, being present in your body while still giving yourself room to expand. That feeling is the whole brand.

I'm still hands on in every part of this because intention matters to me. The way something is made carries through to the person who receives it. I really believe that.

I'm so glad you're here.

With love,
