ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Jessica Eason is an herbalist, gardener and trained marine biologist and coastal ecologist. She is also the owner and creator of Rough Seas Productions. She values sharing the benefits of natural products and going to nature to heal and be healed. The use of natural herbs grown in a local community garden for lotions and hair health turned into a habit of curating a diversity of teas to be shared with friends and family. This habit turned into a business that serves as a platform for people to experience the diversity of nature's pantry and the benefits of consuming natural and organic products.

This brand and our products reflect the colorful journey to reaching one’s goals. It’s about the calm before the storm, the exhaustion and struggle during the storm and the strength that comes while watching the colors after the storm passes. Life is unpredictable. Dreams change, relationships come and go, but through starting this company we have learned that if you are centered, willing to work hard, and have faith in what you’re capable of, you’ll always be able to weather the storm.
