The Tea and Comfort Journey

Tea and Comfort was founded in 2019 to serve as a helping hand for you to become your best self.

This organization was inspired by my mother, Cathy, who as an avid walker, was passionate about balancing fitness and healthy eating and was steadfast in her spirituality and faith in God.

Together we enjoyed countless cups of tea while sharing recipes, chit-chatting and simply enjoying each other's company.  Having a cup of tea together meant a lot to us both. Sure, it meant drinking a healthy beverage and getting an antioxidant boost and it was a comforting way to warm up on cold days...but most importantly, it meant more time together. I was sure to never turn down "just one more cup of tea".

​

When I was about 10, we shared a dream over a cup of tea. We developed an idea to own a bakery and call it "Tea & Comfort". Cathy was to make all the sweet treats and I was to be "her right hand-gal". As we discussed the logistics of our future co-op, including how many lace doilies we would need and what flowers would sit on the tables, I convinced her to sign a contract, promising this would come to fruition.

Cathy passed away in March of 2019 after a 13 month battle with ALS. I developed this organization as a way to honor my sweet mother, but also as a way to lead you on the path to wellness, regardless of what stressors, illnesses or barriers to happiness that may be in your way. I believe that while we can't change the cards we are dealt, we can change the way in which it affects us. 

I hope to use my knowledge, expertise, past experiences and passion for health and wellness to help you live your best life.

If you are ever in the area, feel free to reach out.  I'd love to meet you and talk over a cup of tea!
