JTG #54 Elevate Your Natural Haircare With Amber Makupson Founder of Meraki Organics
*Special announcement about the podcast*
Hi, I’m Caroline Dalia Kaliani, Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Herbal Medicine Mama & formulator of a botanical skincare line for rosacea.
A few years ago, I launched this free educational platform called Journey to Glow.
The goal? To explore natural, holistic and effective solutions for skin “issues”.
In my quest to share the effectiveness of natural medicine, I interviewed over 75+ holistic skin experts (Functional Medicine Practitioners, Naturopathic NDs, Holistic Nutritionists, Integrative Dermatologists, and Ayurvedic doctors…) as well as dozens of womxn who fully healed rosacea.
The Journey To Glow podcast reached over 100,000 listeners and received hundreds of 5 stars reviews in 30 different countries. But the best part? Were the weekly emails from listeners and readers who shared they have regained hope that they could heal their skin!
Mission accomplished!
After years of making the episodes available for free on mainstream podcast platforms, we are now rethinking how we want this information to be accessed.
If you’d like to be notified of the next steps, sign up for the Glowletter at the bottom of this page.
Thank you for listening and for being on the journey with us!
JTG #54 Elevate Your Natural Haircare With Amber Makupson Founder of Meraki Organics
This glowing Goddess is Amber Makupson and she’s the founder of Meraki Organics, a high performance, natural & vegan hair care brand that will ELEVATE your shower rituals.
Creating high performance, nontoxic yet luxurious hair products is no small feat my friend, but Amber has managed to crack the code!
And she just got featured in O (as in OPRAH) magazine #YASSSS
If you’re curious about what it takes to build a clean beauty brand, how to use crystals in your everyday life and Amber’s inner and outer beauty rituals, don’t miss this incredibly inspiring episode.
About our guest…
Meraki was founded in 2018 by Amber Makupson, as a labor of self-love, self-empowerment and dedication to wellness.
A native of Ohio, Amber moved and settled in Atlanta, Georgia at a young age, and started to focus on a healthy, holistic lifestyle and make her own natural remedies during her pregnancy when she developed skin sensitivities.
Her background as a licensed aesthetician specialized in botanical treatments helped when, after suffering a serious chemical burn from an over-the-counter beauty product, Amber was fed up of the toxic ingredients damaging so many other women and decided to create Meraki Organics, a non-toxic vegan haircare brand infused with gemstones to nourish skin, hair, body and soul.
“Meraki for me was created around the idea of self love, finding my passion for life, and being fearless in the pursuit of the things that set your soul on fire. The word “MERAKI” is a Greek word that means to do something with love, soul and creativity – to put the essence of yourself in your work. So essentially my brand combines Beauty+Wellness+Spirituality, to form high vibrational products that nourish your mind, body, hair, and soul.”
In this episode Amber Makupson, founder of Meraki Organics talks to Journey To Glow host Caroline Frenette about:
1. Stones & crystals to have by your bed for optimum sleep
2. Looking to the energetics if you’re not feeling like yourself
3. The importance of rituals of self-care and cleansing your energy especially if you’re picking up on the collective energy at this time
4. A quick way to get out of your head and into wisdom
5. How Meraki was born out of a desire to embody a clean beauty lifestyle
6. Creating a product line for all hair types focused on nurturing, nourishing and hair care as a ritual
7. How Amber infuses crystals into her products
8. The benefits of crystals in our skin and hair care
9. The importance of “clean” cleaning products in our home
