Production Manager Shannon

From the coast of Massachusetts, Shannon has always been a cannabis enthusiast with a passion for healing. At the beginning of college she started to have stomach issues, and throughout the years she had exhausted efforts, doctors and many medications. With a laundry list of side effects from the medications, she needed a more natural way to heal. She turned to the mother plant, cannabis, and started ingesting CBD. She is extremely happy to learn more in depth about CBD, and be part of a company helping others be in charge of their own healing too. In her free time, you can catch her enjoying live music, the outdoors and writing.

Production Team Member Melissa

Originally from New York but truly a New Englander at heart, Melissa has held a decade-long passion for cannabis & an ongoing desire to educate herself and others of its many benefits. Witnessing how cannabinoids lessened the effects of chemotherapy on her mother during an ill-fated battle with metastatic lung cancer in 2012 cemented her belief in this miraculous plant. Melissa believes that cannabis is an avenue to natural healing and as a customer of The Healing Rose has been incorporating CBD into her daily wellness routine and that of her dog for several years. A life-long love of helping others combined with this passion for the plant put her on a path that lead to the opportunity to join a company that shares so many of her own principles. When not in the lab, Melissa seeks joy by immersing herself in nature whenever possible, cooking, traveling, and playing with her dog.
