Physical, mental, and spiritual health is everything maui juice co was founded on. I saw a need in providing the community with nutrient dense juice in a positive environment and a sustainable way. Something that after you consume it, you know is working for your health. Natural energy, natural power!
After falling ill due to my diet many years ago, I went on a self-healing journey through nature’s medicine. I’m from South Carolina and grew up in the country. This meant we got most delicious fruits and vegetables, had gardens, went strawberry picking, stopped roadside for the sweetest peaches, went hunting, and experienced a lot of our lives outside in nature. However, we also believed that adding half a pound of margarine, salt, or sugar is a necessity in any dish. I made a vow to myself that I didn’t want to live to eat anymore, but rather wanted to eat to live. This is the point where I fell in love with fueling my body with the highest quality ingredients, my yoga practice motivated me to travel to northern india where I studied Ayurvedic medicine while completing my 200 hour yoga teacher training course at rishikul yogashala. Inspired to immerse myself deeper in india’s holistic teachings, I cancelled travel plans and found myself traveling down the entire country. I had unlocked a whole new world filled with eastern medicine and philosophy. After making my way to the southern coast of india I completed another 300 hours at Kranti yoga, and continued to understand further about the body, Ayurveda, and the eight limbs of yoga. My travels have also taken me to Thailand and Indonesia.
Since 2014 I have been absorbing as much knowledge as possible through books, podcast, websites, recipes, travels, holistic healers, farmers, and other small juice bar owners. The more I learn, the more I’m inspired to discover ways in which we can implement mindful practices in our lives – bringing forth our true purpose. This love for a more mindful lifestyle is what inspired the idea of juice and smoothie bar on wheels (owning a juice bar has been a dream of mine for years)! We opened our trailer “Gypsy Juice” two days after covid became a thing, and it was our biggest blessing in disguise. Since then we have continued to grow, rebrand, and open the doors of our first Maui Juice Co. storefront location in Wailuku. We continue to dig our roots deeper with purpose and passion. We are beyond blessed to be surrounded by such a talented family and community that believes in our vision. We have witnessed what a more mindful lifestyle has provided for us and wanted to share that joy with the world! We believe in creating a healthy positive environment that is so infectious you can’t wait to come back!
