Hi, I’m Kris, the founder and owner of The Botanica Boutique — a small, woman-owned wellness shop rooted in community, ritual, and natural self-care.

Over the past five years, I’ve had the absolute honor of getting to know this community and supporting so many of you in feeling good, better, well — and happier. This shop has never just been retail to me. It’s been a gathering space. A place to slow down. A place to learn. A place to feel supported.

I have poured my heart, time, and personal resources into building this space into something meaningful and sustainable.

But like many small brick-and-mortar businesses, we’ve been hit hard by slower foot traffic and steadily rising costs. Despite hosting events, launching new products, expanding online, and doing everything we can to adapt, we have fallen behind on rent.

I am raising funds to help us catch up, stabilize, and keep our doors open so this space can continue serving the community we love.
