VerdPress started at home.
I started making juice for my mom. She had already been through the wringer with breast and ovarian cancer, all while raising four kids. Then, in 2023, she was diagnosed with lupus. That was rough.
She lost most of her hair, and watching her confidence disappear with it was hard. While I couldn't change what she was going through, I knew I couldn't just sit back either.
Around that time, juicing as a concept was introduced through her friend who was battling cancer. Before long, we were juicing as a family, especially since my sister was diagnosed with PCOS. There was no business plan behind it. It was how I took care of the people I loved.
This year, being diagnosed with lupus changed the way I thought about my own health. When there's always another client deliverable, another deadline, another thing that feels more urgent, taking care of yourself is easy to push to tomorrow.
I realized I didn't want to wait until something was wrong to start taking care of myself.
That's where VerdPress comes from. What started as a way to take care of my family is now a way to help others take care of themselves, especially when life gets busy.
