The real story behind Upper Room:
I have two beautiful children! I have a daughter who has suffered with terrible allergies for the past few years and had been battling Upper respiratory infections. Then a few years ago, I was blessed with a beautiful son who ended up in the NICU. We were in and out of the hospital for 2 months after he was born. He would turn blue when he fed. So we went from an NG to a Gtube real quick. We then got a second opinion up at Helen DeVos and he has been in intense feeding therapy for the past 3 years.
Driving up to Grand Rapids, I had a lot of time to think. I am a huge worshipper and the Lord gave me this name one day. What it would look like to sit in his throne room and what all that would entail. Of course there was a whole list of things that I thought of. But one of the main ones was my community. How could I serve my community better? This world is full of synthetics and terrible products that we put in our body daily. My son ended up being diagnosed with another disease called "Mastocytosis", which sends your body into anaphylactic shock at random times due to histamine build up. That was a reality check that my family's health needed to be my first priority. That's when the journey to start creating kid/family friendly all natural organic products became my reality.
This is more than just a few products put together so I can make quick money; this has become our lifestyle. Every product that is sold, I have used it in my own home, with my own children. I wanted to make it more personal and make this a community. A community where women can come together, share stories, testimonies and real struggles that come in everyday life. So, if this is something that you would like to be apart of.. I would love for you to hop on this journey with me
