After having her children Georgia and Luca, rituals became powerful daily anchors for nutritionist and health coach Renee Brown.
What began as a postpartum quest to bring her body back into balance — experimenting with adaptogens, herbs, mushrooms and nuts to make her own elixirs — has since evolved into two products designed to help others create the same moments of calm: a matcha blend for daytime, and a cacao powder for evening wind-downs.
Renee Brown:
My well-being philosophy comes back to balance: when we are strong, healthy, and in balance, anything is possible. I support that through daily practices, cooking and eating wholefoods, being in nature, grounding on the earth, and getting morning sunlight while I sip my matcha.
High Vibe Matcha was born from my own postpartum experience. I remember feeling frustrated with not feeling like myself, no energy, stressed, anxious, exhausted, and even my usual routines of eating well, moving my body, and meditating just weren’t enough. I began researching adaptogens and learning about how they can bring the body back into balance.
It didn’t take long to create a recipe I craved daily, and even sooner to feel the shift. My brain fog cleared, my energy lifted, and I felt calmer. That ritual became High Vibe Matcha, designed to deliver calm energy, focus, creativity, and feeling high vibe.
The blend includes organic ceremonial-grade matcha from Japan, with lion’s mane, maca, reishi, and ashwagandha, plus goji berry, turmeric, and ginger for antioxidants and nourishment.
After Dark Coco came from the desire to end the day with the same intention. So many of us rush around and then crash into bed depleted, taking no time to prepare for sleep or reconnect with our bodies. The formula includes ashwagandha and reishi to de-stress, magnesium and passionflower to help you drift off and stay asleep, and chaga, cacao, and lucuma to restore and nourish while you sleep.
My daily routines are sacred to me. Mornings start early with my husband while the kids sleep. Lemon water, Pilates, sauna, meditation, matcha, and journaling are habit-stacked in a way that feels good, not rushed. Evenings slow right down. Once the kids are in bed, I take a hot shower with no lights on, make my After Dark Coco, then read before lights out, always before 10pm.
On overwhelming days, I do my morning routine and evening routine, and that’s it. The morning sets me up, the evening brings me back to my centre, and that’s exactly why I created these products, so you can bookend your day with powerful rituals.
