My Story
My Healing Story
Hi, I’m Shell—mom of four, Master Herbalist, and the creator of The Healing Happy Method.
My journey into healing didn’t start in a polished clinic or a perfect lab—it began with a mess. Literally. In 2007, a squash exploded in my face while I was cooking, leaving me with deep burns and scars that doctors said would never heal.
But I didn’t accept that.
I turned to the world of natural healing—something I had always loved. I had worked in hospitals, studied science, and spent time working in herbal stores soaking up everything I could. But this burn was different. It pushed me to fully commit. I enrolled in The School of Natural Healing, became a Master Herbalist, and dedicated myself to discovering what the skin really needs to heal.
The result? My scars faded. My skin began to glow again. And people started asking what I was doing.
That’s when The Healing Happy Skin Method was born.
But it wasn’t just about skin. Over the years, I’ve faced autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s), postpartum depression, emotional trauma, and even a serious staph infection and dengue fever while living abroad in Samoa. Through each trial, I leaned into the same principles: simple, natural healing—inside and out.
While living in Samoa, we had the chance to care for a baby girl named Tali. Her story broke our hearts. We brought her into our home and fell in love. We were hoping to adopt her, but when we discovered she was part of an illegal trafficking scheme, we fought to expose the truth. We lost her—but her story lives on in everything we do.
After that, I knew I couldn’t just create products—I had to create a purpose.
Today, I offer natural, oil-based skincare that’s helped people with acne, aging, inflammation, and sensitivity feel confident and beautiful again. We donate a percentage of proceeds to help vulnerable children—especially young girls in need of warmth, dignity, and care.
I believe in healing. Not just skin, but lives.
So welcome, friend. You’re not just buying a cleanser or a mask—you’re joining a movement. A healing journey. A sisterhood that believes beauty should never come at the cost of your health.
I'm so glad you're here.
XO,
Shell

We give 25% of proceeds back to helping the children. We are currently supporting a charity called "Giving Dignity to Girls". This is a small charity in South Africa, where Michelle did missionary work, that is currently collecting blankets and sanitary pads for young women who recently lost everything due to the horrific floods that washed away their homes and all that they had. They are in desperate need of blankets. Let's help keep them warm! When you support us, you are supporting the children.
