Name Origin
"Honest to God!"
We've all heard of the expression, "Honest to God, this really happened!" or, "Honest to God, I saw the whole thing!". It's a way to be completely transparent, emphasizing what you know to be true - a personal testament your truth, honesty, and integrity.
It's at the heart of what what I stand for, hence the name, Honest to God Organics.

Meet Darla...
Born and raised in San Diego, my love for botanics and nature spawned at early age, only ever increasing the more I came to know and understand. As a little girl I wanted to be a nurse just like my mom. In my teen years I volunteered in the athletic department learning elements of sports medicine. I remember the fascination upon learning that Eucalyptus and peppermint were soothing to sore muscles. These were plants that were around my everyday life. I recognized I couldn't stray from my strong desire to nurture and heal. So when I graduated, I began my work in nursing and caregiving. Ironically, I found great joy and honor in convalescence and hospice care. However, after some time it was very clear that I was a strong intuitive empath and my care was leaving me emotionally drained. I realized that I needed balance and could not work convalescence and hospice exclusively. Animals and pets provided me great sanctuary and uplift, so I returned to school and began my experience in veterinary care. Once my sons were born, priorities shifted and I stepped away to focus on being the most rewarding role, mother. Through the years I continued nurturing through family caregiving and volunteer work, one of my favorites was for the VA assisting Vets. After loosing my father, a Navy Veteran himself and teacher in 2013 and my mother, a nurse and florist in 2014, I moved out of state. In 2015 I opened my 1st Apothecary in Snohomish Washington where I worked to developed my skills in, herbal applications, tea studies, botanical distillation, ancient medicine, essential oil application, aromatherapy and skin care formulations. I have since made quite the journey home, almost full circle. I hope to continue to expand my on my own knowledge, in plant aromatic therapies and distilling experience. I aim to promote clean, natural, sustainable, environmentally friendly living while encouraging the safe, expanded uses of aromatherapy as an holistic, integrative, clinical therapy in general health, dermatology, hospice care, pathology, neurology, mental health and animal husbandry.
