11/15/19 • 42 min
A powerful and often forgot about way to take care of ourselves is through the products we use in our homes. Today on the podcast, we have Allison Evans, one of the founders of the nontoxic cleaning company Branch Basics.
Allison Evans is a co-founder of Branch Basics and lives in Texas. After experiencing a health crisis during her junior year of college and traveling to specialists across the country to seek relief from chronic pain and motor impairments, Allison finally experienced true healing after moving to the Hill Country to live with her aunt, Marilee Nelson. By removing all toxic chemicals from her environment and eating real, whole foods, Allison’s symptoms completely disappeared. Her healing journey inspired her to co-found Branch Basics to help others experience how to truly thrive in their health. Allison enjoys researching all things natural pregnancy, birth and parenting; finding clean brands to use and recommend; and helping others navigate their health journeys. But most of all, she’s a mom! Allison loves nothing more than raising her two baby girls, Sloane and Frances, who inspire her daily in her efforts to live a clean lifestyle.
I love Branch Basics and I couldn’t be happier to have found a cleaning company I can stand behind. Here’s where you can learn more and begin your journey.
