About Us
Sugarloaf Wellness was founded from a deep commitment to health, education, compassion, and community in honor and memory of our Founder’s father and grandparents. Sugarloaf’s founder evolved from very humble beginnings on the Island of Montserrat – known as “The Emerald Island of the Caribbean.” In her early adulthood, she earned a degree in Secondary Teacher Education inspired by her sixth-grade teacher Jerome Weninger in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and her passion for teaching and helping others.
Irish settlers arrived on the island of Montserrat in 1632 and many of the Irish culture, traditions, and foods which Montserrat remains, including the superfood Irish Moss aka Sea Moss, Irish potatoes, and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The national emblem is the Irish shamrock, which is also the official passport stamp. Sugarloaf’s beautiful logo was conceptualized from the shamrock and finalized with a brand identity that epitomizes the genuine character and principles of its founder.
