About Us

Our Therapist:

Nikki Ellwood is a dually licensed massage therapist and esthetician. She was born and raised in Upstate New York where she completed a 2 year program in Therapeutic Massage and Integrated Health Care, followed by a year of esthetics training in Buffalo, NY.

For the last twelve years, Nikki's focus for growing her practice has been with the importance of natural wellness in mind. Through her own journey with becoming a healthier being, Nikki has fallen in love with alternative healing. She began using Young Living Essential Oils to support her digestive system when she was in college and quickly began to see positive results from ridding her body and lifestyle of chemical laden products. Now, living much cleaner than she once did, Nikki is passionate about educating others on how to use what is naturally derived from the Earth to achieve the results they are looking for. 


"The incredibly complex and orderly way in which our body operates, astonishes me. What is equally impressive is the ample amount of resources we have to support our body's functions. We have God to thank for all of that; it is up to us to recognize the importance of self-care and improve the conditions in which we live." -Nikki Ellwood, LMT

Green Envee - Plant Active. Luxary Skincare

PURE. POTENT. PLANT ACTIVE.

LUXURY SKIN + BODY FOR THE PLANT PURIST

 

POTENT + ACTIVE

We have created a proprietary blend of plant actives and high potency herbs that literally work from the inside out. Our products combine high potency herbs paired with the perfect plant-based cosmetic actives to produce science-based performance with Mother Nature’s more gentle touch. Sophisticated delivery systems target and time the release of active ingredients into the skin’s cells exactly where they can affect the most powerful results. We use only fresh cosmetic ingredients along with small batch manufacturing processes to ensure potency and effectiveness of our products.

 

OUR MISSION OF CLEAN BEAUTY

We believe in clean beauty, and the idea that people shouldn’t have to compromise health for beauty. Over 1300 toxic cosmetic ingredients are banned in the European Union and other countries but only 11 banned in the United States. Our Toxic 28 list is a roundup of ingredients that we will NEVER use in our products because they are linked to cancer, reproductive issues, organ toxicity, and/or severe skin irritation. We promise you will find safe, nutrient dense and antioxidant filled formulas that nourish the skin + body while maintaining your skin’s pH balance and preserving your skin’s natural beauty.

 

OUR PROMISE OF PURITY

We use only the most pure, unprocessed, raw, wild, organic, and natural ingredients one can find. Our concentrated distillations and extractions come from wild-harvested or organic botanics, and artisanal-grade farms throughout the world. Just as we make small batches of our products, our chosen growers only grow and harvest small select high-quality botanicals at the proper peak harvest time. From seed to skin, rest assured you are receiving the freshest and highest quality ingredients possible.

 

MIND + BODY

When your mind and body are in balance, true beauty shines through. We refer to this as Eastern philosophy with Western functionality. By combining the proven science of plant-based cosmetic actives with the added benefits of aromatherapy, our products produce a one-of-a-kind experience between the mind + body.  The use of Ayurveda and Chinese healing in both skin + body products helps to balance the mind and body connection. The best of both worlds – a mind + body connection.
