Our Journey
The Cedar + Branch journey began when our founder became a parent and her world turned upside down in ways she never saw coming. After stumbling along for a few years, life led her back to her roots - she had spent her formative years in India where mindfulness, yoga, Ayurveda, and clean eating had always been the backdrop of life.
She saw remarkable improvements once she started weaving holistic practices into her life and started teaching them to her older son. It sparked the desire for more meaningful wellness activities for the family - experiences they could share, vacations that blended tranquility and fun, and resources to integrate mindfulness as a cornerstone of the children’s lives. That’s when she realized these resources are scarcer than a dull moment in a house full of two young boys!
Along the way, she also realized she wasn’t alone. Most parents were navigating the same challenges - feeling tired, overwhelmed, trying to find themselves, yearning for a spare moment to reconnect with their partner, looking for ways to meaningfully connect with their children, and longing for something more.
And so, Cedar + Branch was born - a creation from the heart and soul, for all the families out there in search of their well-being.
