We recently connected with Adriana Schneider and have shared our conversation below.
Adriana, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us about a time where you or your team really helped a customer get an amazing result?
My business has given me so much pleasure and satisfaction over the years through positive customer testimonials. For instance, my Arnica Sports Rub has helped many customers find relief from inflammation, pain and bruising from sports injuries or other related falls and strains. Here is one testimonial from a recent customer: “This really works. I’ve let several people try it for various aches and each person says the same. This really works! I can feel a difference. Amazing stuff. Thank you”
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
My journey with holistic health and natural skincare started shortly after finishing nursing school and working as a Registered Nurse. I’ve always been passionate about holistic living, health, and wellness and have always tried to find the safest most effective non-toxic health, skincare and natural remedies for my family. even though it was terribly difficult finding high perfomance natural skincare in stores. Then, when I first became pregnant, I became keenly aware of the ingredients in my skincare products. I noticed that even companies that call themselves natural and organic had many preservatives and other synthetic ingredients. The cosmetic and skincare industry is highly unregulated in the US and many companies put profit over people’s health. Why is this harmful? It takes only a matter of minutes for s to absorb what we apply to our skin. I refused to use anything, but pure, high quality skincare. So using my knowledge from nursing school and becoming a certified herbalist, I began formulating my own products. Soon, friends and family members would ask me to sell the products to them and that is how The Herb Nurse started!
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I had been working as a private practice certified lactation consultant and public health volunteer for many years before I started The Herb Nurse. So I had built a trustworthy reputation for myself with other alternative health practitioners like chiropractors and acupuncturists in my area. This helped give me a little bit of an advantage when I started The Herb Nurse and started selling to these practitioners who provided several of my products to their patients. I am so grateful they trusted The Herb Nurse Products with their patients!
Have you ever had to pivot?
During the course of my time with owning The Herb Nurse, I have overcome major hurdles. Most recently with the Pandemic and Covid when I was forced to close my business for about a year and a half so I could homeschool my children and then I got sick with Covid and suffered long haul covid symptoms for quite some time. My customers kept begging me to reopen and my soul was calling me to come back. So I reopened in November of 2021 and have been going strong since!
