Hi! We’re Laura and Rachael. Co-founders, moms, and best friends.
We started this because of a feeling we kept chasing and couldn’t reliably find. Not the big, blurry kind. The small one: the moment your shoulders drop an inch, a conversation gets easier, and you feel more like yourself instead of less.
Most things that promise that ask you to trade something for it. A drink costs you tomorrow morning. Coffee gives you energy and jitters in the same cup. We wanted the lift without the trade — something you could take on a Tuesday at 3pm and still be completely, recognizably yourself.
That search led us to kanna.
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a small succulent that grows in the dry parts of South Africa. It’s been used there for centuries — long before anyone was calling it a wellness ingredient — chewed and shared as part of daily life and gathering.
What drew us in is how specific it feels. Kanna doesn’t sedate you or send you somewhere else. People describe it as a softening: a little more open, a little more present, more inclined to say yes to the dinner invitation. It’s a mood ingredient rather than a mind-altering one, and that distinction is the whole reason we built a brand around it.
We put it in a melt that dissolves on your tongue — no water, no chewing, no waiting around wondering if you took enough. 30mg per melt. Take one, give it half an hour, and take it from there.
Be easy,
Laura & Rachael
