We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Alisa Walton a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alisa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea
Well first then idea came about after I began doing research to find out which herbs can help with anxiety. I suffer from anxiety and did not want to take medication and chose to do research for a more natural approach. After doing research I discovered different herbs that were perfect for helping with a bunch of different health ailments. This started my passion for mixing herbs, experimenting and my passion eventually turned into my business. The whole process took about 5 months because I wanted to make sure I created the perfect mixtures, branding, etc.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
The best source of new clients has been participating in vending events and pop up shops.
We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.
I sell on my site, moonherbals.com, some pros is that I have full creative control on how I want my website to look. A major con is that I don’t get as much traction as a website like Amazon or etsy would.
