Founder of Cap’n Coconut and forever skincare lover.

Cap’n Coconut was born in my kitchen in 2014, after a melanoma diagnosis changed everything. What started as a simple coconut body balm became a way to care for my skin, my spirit, and my sense of self. I learned how to rebuild after illness, how to let go of toxic ingredients (and tanning beds), and how to create skincare that feels like healing.

A decade later, that balm has become a whole line — lovingly crafted for sun-loved, sensitive, and mature skin. As a master esthetician, it’s been my honor to help people feel beautiful in their bodies again. From Oregon to Hawaii, this brand has followed the sun.

Now, based on the Big Island, I’m focused full-time on creating the products you love. I’m still listening, still learning, and still making skincare that works and feels amazing.

Thank you for being part of this story. I’m so glad you’re here. 💕
