Meet Lisa Eddy

Lisa Eddy has always been propelled by whole body wellness. She grew up dancing and immediately discovered that being connected to her body through movement was an essential part of her own vitality. Years before health and wellness became the popular mainstay that it is today, Lisa understood what true health and beauty was about: balance, self-love and feeling connected to your own inner spiritual being. Committed to learning more about true radiance, she hired a personal trainer and nutritionist in her early 20s and spent years developing her own spiritual practice, becoming a trained Reiki healer, massage therapist and breath work coach. In addition to cultivating a spiritual healing practice, Lisa has over two decades of experience as a skincare professional. Not only is she a skilled esthetician, she is also a respected skincare educator and has spent years working beauty trade shows both domestically and internationally.

Lisa is a high priestess performing acts of sacred beauty — a belief that how we care for ourselves is sacred and is directly connected with how we show up in the world. Her otherworldly learnings have taught her that taking time to prioritize and adore our self-care rituals affects us on a holistic level and that this gift is available to bodies and spirits everywhere.

What do your skin and body need? Lisa Eddy will figure it out. Working on three levels of whole-body healing — the emotional, physical and spiritual — Lisa brings a wealth of science-backed and ancient healing knowledge to her clients for the ultimate sacred beauty service. www.lisaeddy.com

Meet Elizabeth Wilmore

Elizabeth was always intrigued by the beauty and natural luster of pearls. However, her first path was not in designing jewelry, but instead a photographer. Her father taught her to look for the beauty in nature by the lighting that was filtered upon it. The lighting exposes and captures hidden details and tells the story.

Later in life, she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. During the endless months of chemotherapy, she once again picked up her camera to find peace through the lens. One of her favorite photographs during this time was of an oak tree on the rolling and bucolic hills in Marin County in Northern California. Her “Foggy Oak” was a magnificent, yet unique tree. It was perfectly bent in a 90 degree angle and then branched out up into the sky. She visited this old Oak often and found comfort under its boughs.

She became fascinated with this tree and researched what may have caused its unique shape and found that this magical oak tree had a purpose. The Miwok Native American Indians intentionally bent the tree when it was young. This tree became an important marker or “Way-Finding” tree. The oak tree is considered a medicine tree associated with strength and protection.

When she first started designing jewelry, she knew she wanted to create something using a natural gem- so it made sense to her to work with freshwater pearls. Interesting enough, both oak trees and freshwater pearls have been important to the Native Americans. Native Americans were the first to collect and use freshwater mussel pearls and shells. Pearls were prized for their beauty and magical powers. The Latin word for pearl literally means “unique”, attesting that no two pearls are alike. Just like the oak trees.

She believes her “Foggy Oak” was her “Way-Finding “ tree. It is part of her life and thus became a natural symbol for her Elizabeth Wilmore Designs logo.

Jewelry designing has allowed Elizabeth to express her life experiences. She draws inspiration from nature and it’s gifts. She finds beauty in the subtle luster of each unique freshwater pearl or the sea glass colors of a gemstone. As in her photography, beauty comes from natural lighting, hues and textures. Her handcrafted pearl jewelry reflects the colors and bucolic California landscape surrounding her Marin County studio.

Her designs are beautiful and meaningful. She encourages you to wear them everyday and enjoy the journey in life! www.elizabethwilmoredesigns.com
