Q: Why do you do what you do? What motivates and inspires you?
A: My creative spirit has always needed an outlet, and my Greek heritage and lifelong kinship with plants taught me early on that gardens hold nurturing power. Learning to use herbs in daily life deepened their meaning, however it was life’s journey that led to the inspiration behind KIPOS Botanicals®. Sharing a calendula salve with a friend undergoing radiation therapy and seeing it bring real comfort inspired me to share the plants’ skin-soothing gifts with others. Today, each carefully handcrafted product reflects centuries of herbal wisdom and my commitment to gentle, effective plant-based care using the highest-quality ingredients. The qualities gardening has instilled in me—patience, perseverance and resilience—sustain my business and my spirit, and each season brings fresh hope and possibility.
