About Kathy

My Journey
Fae, Flower & Stone is the culmination of everything I have learned and loved—a venture dedicated to offering emotional self-care products and experiences rooted in ancient, Nature-based healing traditions. My mission is twofold: to help you understand why these techniques are effective - the underlying science that makes them work, and ultimately, to help you feel better emotionally so you flourish.
Before Fae, Flower & Stone I spent two decades building a career in high-tech sales and nonprofit fundraising at organizations like Adobe Systems, Microsoft, The Salvation Army, and Boys & Girls Clubs of America. While I appeared accomplished on the outside, I secretly navigated the corporate world while battling anxiety and depression that I felt I had to hide. Eventually, and out of necessity, I was led on a journey to discover emotional wellness tools that went beyond traditional therapy, and after many ups and downs and sideways moves I eventually left New York City and opened a health and wellness business called Bright Life in Sarasota, Florida which I ran for almost 10 years.
I recently started a new chapter in life and relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona, where I launched Fae, Flower & Stone - a business that merges organic skincare with self-care that incorporates chakra balancing, Feng Shui, crystals, fragrance, color, and sound - gifts from Nature that have helped me a great deal with my anxiety and depression. My approach is founded on the belief that these traditions, combined with modern science and a focus on inner beauty, offer powerful paths to emotional balance and holistic self-care, helping you to feel better so not only do you look better, but you flourish.
I am a true believer in the healing magic of Nature and its limitless power to help improve our mental health—a challenge I see impacting individuals, families, communities, and our society more than ever before. My sincere hope is that we all find a way that is right for each of us to feel great and flourish, because each of us is worthy of it and absolutely deserves it.
