Amy Auker – The Hempress
‘Why I started The Hempress UK… I worked in the food industry as a food technologist before my mental health suffered and I begun to look for ways to cope, without nasty side effects. My first stop was essential oils, and I quickly became obsessed, and before long I had a cupboard full! I then went on to have my little girl who is now 3. I was following a Canadian lady on Instagram and I’d see these CBD bath bombs on her instagram page that she’d bring back from various markets and the benefits she said they had. I couldn’t find any in the UK so I thought I would give it a go myself. I just felt this instant connection like this creativity had always been there waiting to be released. I found they helped me massively. I love having a bath but this was something else! I started handing them out to friends family and anyone who would take one really, and the feedback was amazing. I figured this was what I should be doing and The Hempress was born. When I see them helping others it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I just love it.’
