About us
I am Alyssa Elgersma. I was originally adopted from India at seventeen months old, and grew up in Colorado. I am a loud laugher, people observer, adventurer and dog lover, with two shelties of my own. I currently live in Iowa, to be near family, but I love to travel.
I have my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health (Individual Counseling) and am pursuing full licensure. Grief and loss have had a big impact on my life, along with many tough and life changing experiences that brought me to find my own sense of self through counseling. I know the value of finding ways to ground myself and take care of "me" using my senses and in experiential ways. I want to help others learn how to find balance and comfort in using their senses to process through hard days. And thus the company was born - to share this with others!
One of the important pieces for us is to give back to others. Mental Wellness matters and everyone can benefit from enhancing mental health in all of its forms. relax-reset-renewed helps by focusing on a few ways to make a difference. One way is by purchasing from small businesses, especially local options, if possible. Supporting non-profits that are important to us, and those we want to assist as they enhance mental health in our world, is another way to help. We either partner by financially giving to the organization, like the Riley I Whitelaw Memorial Fund, or by purchasing products that already partner with organizations we recognize enhance mental wellness like Pinch Me dough and the relationship they have with the Wounded Warrior Project. Friendsheep wool is a eco-friendly, fair trade company that gives back in multiple ways.
