She set out on a research adventure to create natural skin & pain care products to relieve common skin ailments and pain complaints.

She suffered for many years with eczema and KP (skin bumps) and hip pain from an injury during her nursing career.

At the urging of friends and family, she proudly made her products available to help others, Clean Coconut was born!

Color Up Therapeutics is founded with the intention of “coloring up” your life choices, trading in lower vibration practices, beliefs, choices, habits, products for a higher vibration alternative.  They stand strong in their desire to bring healing to the masses and have created products to help with that mission. Their company story is one of organic transformation and fulfilling a need. It began with the formulation and creation of a pet food additive to help the animal population, as they are all passionate animal lovers. These tinctures were met with great enthusiasm and requests for a complementing human ingestible line of which they obliged. From that success, they created a body line, including massage products, which were utilized in a local Denver massage and esthetic school. It was that connection that presented an opportunity to bring CBD infused skin care to the professional skin care practitioners. Color Up Therapeutics is the first company to formulate and distribute a complete and comprehensive healing line product to Licensed Estheticians. They are Rooted in Science, Created with Intention and Made with Love. Take Our Wellness Survey!
