Vanessa

I have been passionate about organic ingredients and natural health for over 30 years or more now.

I came to learn that what I was eating, drinking and putting on my body is full of man-made chemicals that have never been tested for safety, and after going through a challenging period of unexplained infertility for nearly 10 years, I began to research and learn all I could.  

Along my journey I started seeking answers and went to see a Naturopath.  One of the first things she suggested I do was read a book on natural fertility by Francesca Naish. This book was the turning point for me, an awakening, because that was when I first learned that the food, water and personal care products I had taken for granted as being safe, are actually full of dangerous chemicals, additives, colouring, flavours, Genetically Modified Organisms and are harmful to our health, our bodies and the planet. 

These chemicals and toxins can cause all sorts of health issues - it is actually very scary!  So massive changes were made.  Without going too much further into my personal story, since reading that book I have continued to read, learn and research, and became passionate about organics, natural health and wellness… and I now have two beautiful children!

The choice for being organic is an easy one for me, and my family, knowing that organic produce is healthier, more nutritious, fuelling the body with all the vitamins and minerals it needs, is something that can not be overlooked in our current times of increased disease and illness.  Nature gives us exactly what we need in the correct form and in the correct amounts.  Organics also supports the environment, is better for the earth, water quality, plants and animals and supports ethical, conscious, responsible farmers.

Jason

Jason’s journey started over 15 years ago when his Dad was diagnosed with cancer.

Jason's Dad went through the whole medical system treatment for cancer. He was given the “all clear” after treatment but then the cancer came back after around 5 years. Feeling disappoitment in the medical system Jason started researching alternative therapies as he felt there had to be something else than the cut, burn and poison that his father had endured the first time around.

On that journey he ended up connecting with Vanessa through OrganicBox.
