Today we’d like to introduce you to Porsche Perez.
Hi Porsche, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Ever since I was a child, I suffered year-round from strep throat. Even the simple cold would drag on for a month without the use of antibiotics. As I become an adult, my strep throat went from just painful to painful and debilitating for me. I could no longer get out of bed in the morning to take care of myself and my family with strep. Then I was introduced to Elderberry Syrup. I enjoyed several months of good health, but I didn’t appreciate it until we went on vacation and I left my Elderberry Syrup at home. I came back very sick and vowed that I would never leave home again.
Elderberry has rebuilt my immune system (that was almost non-existent because of my constant unhealthy food choices and very little exercise), equipping me to better handle what comes my way. I started making the syrup myself to ensure the use of all-natural and organic ingredients while tailoring the recipe for optimal effect. I began to sell my syrup in March 2020 through my life and wellness business to help people build their immune systems through the pandemic. My customers have been very grateful for the syrup and have shared many stories about how well it has worked for them and their families.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has not always been smoothed. We began to expand our business during a pandemic. The pandemic made people panic and think they would run out of food. People began to can their food which left my husband and I out everywhere searching for jars for our Elderberry syrup. Companies were out of stock online and we literally went city to city going through numerous stores searching for jars to stay in stock.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am a Life and Wellness Coach that has a passion for helping people live their best lives (myself included). I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and well rounded in my knowledge of health and nutrition. As I studied the human brain and the state of mental health, I realized that there was a large correlation to health and lifestyle choices. I realized that what people ate and how much they slept and exercised drastically affected their mental state. Our mental state will eventually manifest itself physically in our bodies. I realized that if healthy lifestyles were adopted, then the risk of disease could be minimized.I sought to find ways to help my clients create plans for their lives that would foster better thoughts, better sleep, a more relaxed state of mind, and overall better health. Our business now includes yoga, a personal trainer, and a therapist, along with our Elderberry Syrup and Solle Naturals Supplements.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
I define success on how well my customer feels after receiving my services or products. I have gotten so much positive feedback that I feel that my company has been successful.
