sun mountain bath co.

"Her Place feels like more than a market—it feels like a gathering of intention, community, and care. I’m drawn to the spirit of women supporting women, to spaces that celebrate handmade and heart-made offerings, and to the chance to share my work in a place where connection matters. My products are about slowing down, coming home to yourself, and honoring the healing power of nature—and I believe Her Place is exactly the kind of environment where that message belongs."
