JTG #49 Rosacea & Ayurveda With Wild Grace Skincare Founder Kim Parenteau
Kim Parenteau, founder & formulator of Wild Grace Skincare, has suffered from a series of health concerns, mostly related to digestion and her menstrual cycle.
She began educating herself when she was in her late twenties as she wanted to get to the root cause of her ailments. She intuitively knew there was more to decipher than the symptomatic approach to health was revealing to her. Thus, she began her journey on a path of true self-discovery.
It was back in 2010 when doing a yoga teacher training that she was introduced to Ayurveda; a philosophy and health system practice that originated in India thousands of years ago.
This event changed the course of her life in many ways as she gained a new perspective on things,
began understanding life through a holistic lens that seemed to magically but logically connect all the dots.
The Sanskrit word Ayurveda means “knowledge of life”. Kim’s curiosity and passion for this science lead her to study with the acclaimed Dr. Anita Sharma and become an Ayurvedic practitioner herself. Her deep interests in holistic beauty, herbology, aromatherapy, spirituality, yoga, and self-care rituals have been the driving force behind the creation of WILD GRACE.
She stands by the fact that glowing radiance & beauty comes from self-care & self-awareness.
