Before Tree of Asteria came to be, I (a young mom) found myself exploring various ventures that never quite aligned with my deeper purpose—beauty products like false lashes and I even tried apparel. None of them felt right, and I often wondered if I was meant to be doing something else. It wasn’t until I embarked on a small experiment that everything changed. What began as a simple attempt to create an amber resin perfume blend led me down an unexpected path, one that would forever change the course of my life.
