Ep 49 - Cannabis Spa Pioneers

Clarification of the Farm Bill in 2018 meant we saw a rush of CBD-infused products everywhere, from the gas station to the med spa! There were a handful of brave companies that led the charge, fighting against stigmas and even the obstacles of banking and advertising. These companies knew this ingredient, from a plant that continues to show amazing potential, was worth it! In this episode, we speak with two amazing (female) entrepreneurs from different corners of the cannabis experience, with one common purpose—to bring truth and acceptance to cannabis-infused spa products and services. Tune in to see how they got here and where they see the future of cannabis in our industry.   About Jordan Person   A licensed nurse for 20 years and massage therapist for 15 years, Jordan Person is the original cannabis massage practitioner, author of Cannabis Massage 101 & 102, cannabis curriculums for nurses and estheticians, and the founder of both Primal Therapeutics and Primal Healing.

As an educator, she enjoys empowering other estheticians and industry professionals to understand skin care from an ingredient standpoint rather than a product-specific view.      She has spent many hours researching ingredients, understanding how and where they are sourced, as well as phytochemistry, histological access, and complementary compounds for intentional skin benefits. In addition to running a skin care practice, Cressman founded a comprehensive consulting group, the HHP Collective, and has consulted for several skin care lines, including several successful CBD brands.      Connect with Ella Cressman:      Website: www.hhpcollective.com       Facebook: www.facebook.com/HHP-Collective-105204177682777/       Instagram: www.instagram.com/hhpcollective       LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ella-cressman-62aa46a      About our Sponsor: Antedotum   Antedotum founder Karina Perez Marconi was raised on the island of Puerto Rico (born to a Cuban dad and Puerto Rican mom), which meant consistent sun exposure from an early age—and cumulative sun damage for the Latina's olive skin. For decades, Marconi was plagued by dark spots, which were compounded by lingering, postpartum melasma after the birth of her daughter, Havana. Working for many years in beauty at Chanel's New York headquarters deepened Marconi's understanding of premium skin care. But finding an antidote to her skin aliments remained elusive. When the family relocated to Aspen, Colorado, the unforgiving mountain climate of dry air, high altitude, wind, sun, and cold only intensified her skin conditions.     Colorado is where Marconi took her curiosity of CBD and its purported curative abilities and started to sample an assortment of oils and balms. None of them smelled or looked great, but to her surprise, her skin started to transform. This unexpected discovery evolved into Antedotum.   Visit: antedotum.com   As seen on The Today Show: youtu.be/xNcCuQE1Qjc   IG: instagram.com/ANTEDOTUM   LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/antedotum   About our Sponsor: LAMPROBE   The popular and revolutionary LAMPROBE utilizes radio and high-frequency technology to treat a wide variety of Minor Skin Irregularities™ (MSI)—non-invasively—with instantaneous results. Common conditions treated by the LAMPROBE include: vascular MSI, such as cherry angiomas; dilated capillaries; sebaceous MSI, including cholesterol deposits and milia; and hyperkerantinized MSI, such as keratoses and skin tags.     The LAMPROBE uniquely assists modern, capable, and skilled skin care practitioners to do their work more effectively and with greater client and professional satisfaction.
