Growing up, my sister Alexis (Owner of Montana Souls) and I have always had a creative side. Some brought on by our mother, and the rest by our grandmother, Judith. For me, my grandma is the reasoning behind the name 'Delphinus Souls' which translates to the Latin version for the Greek word 'Dolphin.' During my early childhood and into my adult years, spending time with my grandmother and grandfather, Richard, was something I looked forward to over many things. One core memory that will never fade is joining them to watch the sunsets on numerous evenings at the South Jetty Beach. Here, we never failed to see at least one dolphin. Prior to our sweet Richard passing, he gifted my grandmother a star. This star lays in the constellation, 'Delphinus.' Since then, she has joined him in Heaven. I want them to always remain part of my everyday life and that is why I chose this name; to always keep them close and for them to be a part of this journey they have helped create for me.

 

Why suncatchers, jewelry and body care? If I can help bring peace, calmness and a better well-being to another human, I'm going to try.

 

• Suncatchers bring the daylight inside for those times when it feels too difficult to go out.
• Crystal jewelry helps to surround your aura with powerful energy to keep up that confidence and rid any negative energy.
• Dead sea salt baths help rejuvenate natural healing elements that are supposed to be present in our bodies while helping to relaxing the mind and nervous system. Dead Sea salt has also Magnesium present in high amounts which can help lead to a better sleep.
• Candles made with only soy wax and essential oils including lavender oil, decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature, indicating a decrease in the fight-or-flight response helping to better relax us. 
• Using my natural body butter and scrubs, instead of most store-bought lotions, will eliminate nasty chemicals going into your body such as, parabens, benzophenones, bisphenols, and phthalates that have been found to be endocrine disruptors and can interfere with essential hormonal functions.

This all leads to my biggest reason for creating Delphinus Souls. I was labeled with PCOS at the age of 22 which stands for, 'polycystic ovarian syndrome,' a hormonal issue also known as, 'diabetes of the ovaries.' I was handed a packet of birth control out of a bottom drawer and told to "start this for 3 months and then stop. Your body should take over after that." I immediately knew I wasn't going to be taking that and began my journey of researching all about what this was. If you have PCOS, you know what a struggle it can be. With the missed or irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne (still into my thirties), infertility, weight gain, anxiety and depression, I felt like there was no end in sight. That was until, I came across the power of diet change, taking the correct supplements, replacing harmful hormone disrupters and practicing keeping my mind at peace (reducing stress). 

Stress in PCOS can cause high cortisol levels which can suppress your immune and digestive systems. It can also interfere with normal metabolism, thyroid function, reproductive functioning, and more. This can lead to things like weight gain, elevated blood sugar, mood, and gut disorders which are all huge struggles in PCOS. Along with other personal changes, lowering my stress, surrounding myself with the power that this earth provides and replacing the toxins a put in my body with natural ingredients, I have noticed huge changes!

Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel!

Whether you have PCOS or simply want to calm your mind and replace harmful products, let me help you get there with what I have learned.
