Meet Brooke

Hello! My name is Brooke Clevenger, co-founder of Grounding Organics. My “crunchy” journey started on March 5, 2015, the day my 1st baby was born. An intuition I didn’t realize I would ever have, hit me like a ton of bricks the minute I saw her squishy purple face. The simple act of creating a whole other human completely rewired my brain. I started looking at the world around me in a much a different way. 

In October of 2022, my husband and I took our two kiddos on a spontaneous trip to Belize. We hadn’t done a lot of research, but within a matter of hours of considering it, we had the trip booked! You know those really cool Tik Tok videos you see where people put the fun up-beat music to a slideshow of incredible pictures they took on an exciting adventurous vacation? We lived it in real life. We spent 7 days in Belize and came home completely new people. The beauty, the way of life, the food, and just about everything and everyone we encountered stole our breath away. The views alone moved something within us. 

While touring a botanical farm nestled in the side of a Belizian mountain, Grounding Organics was born. I started dreaming of being able to grow healing herbs and plants to heal my close friends and family. The second I returned home, I started ordering materials to figure out how I could incorporate some of the things I learned on our trip. As my mom stated, I made some small samples of products and started passing them out to my family and friends begging them to try them out! From there, my mom and I put our heads together and developed this beautiful piece of us, Grounding Organics. I am so glad you are here. Thank you for supporting small businesses like ours.

Meet Kim

Hello friends, welcome to our passion.  I’m Kim Howard, Co-founder of Grounding Organics.  (My favorite people call me “YaYa”)  My interest in organic skincare began many years ago when I began to feel the signs of aging with stiff, achy joints, dry skin, etc.  As I studied ways to help my daily pain, I realized what we put in and on our body is very important. I searched for healthy skincare and makeup products and found them to be very costly.   I researched essential oils, and ways to make my own products but the cost was so expensive I just couldn’t afford it at the time so I put my new interest on the back burner.    

Fast forward about 5 years, now I’m a newly retired teacher and caretaker for my mother who has dementia.  

Late December, my daughter Brooke brought me an organic face cream that she had made and wanted me to try it.  Of course I loved it and that quickly turned into a dream of sharing it with others.  Soon Grounding Organics was born.  We are excited to continue to try new things and to hear how our products help others.
