Today we’d like to introduce you to Tess Kula.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Tess. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help people feel better. When I was a teenager I was convinced that I was going to be a Massage Therapist, life had other plans and I started a family at a very young age. Skip ahead eight years, I decided to start my college journey, only this time I wanted to become a counselor, I figured with all the trauma I had been through (a long story for another time) I would be able to relate and really help others. Well, I realized very quickly that I was not done with my own healing and would not be able to take on others’ trauma without triggering my own.

So I decided to take courses that were healthy and nutrition based in order to expand on what knowledge I already had. However, by adding college courses to my already full mom/wife plate, I realized I was dealing with severe anxiety issues that were significantly impacting my abilities to do life. Deadline for an essay, queue panic attack. We’re tight on money this month, queue panic attack. One of my kids got sick, or had a disagreement with… anyone about… anything! Everything put me in a state of anxiety. I realized I needed more time to do much deeper healing. So I sought out a therapist, got a prescription for Xanax, and went about my life. Years later I had much better control over my anxiety but still occasionally would have those pesky panic attacks. I found that the prescription was only putting a bandaid on the symptoms and I wanted to find something that was going to aid it naturally.

That’s when I came across this miraculous molecule called CBD. I bought a very expensive bottle from a dispensary and started to finally feel relief. My speedy heart was not so speedy, my jitters were not so jittery, I generally felt like I could handle life. I was so grateful for what this was doing for my brain, that a year later I was hit by an idea… Why not combine my knowledge of natural health with CBD and make a product that I can share with others who are dealing with similar struggles? So I created Bare Remedies and continue to share my story because I know there are so many like me that could use some extra help.

Great, 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?
I would not say it has been the smoothest road. I designed my own labels, created my own website, been my own marketing team, along with everything else business-related. Teaching myself these processes was very overwhelming but I have learned so much because of it. Being a small individually owned CBD company, it has been pretty intimidating at times to get my products out there when I am up against big corporate companies. I have embraced the struggle though and continue to persevere because I love what I am doing!

Please tell us about Bare Remedies.
Bare Remedies is a custom-blended Essential Oil and CBD product line that is truly meant to improve on peoples’ health and lives.

I created multiple products that contain a unique blend of therapeutic grade Essential Oils along with CBD isolate to achieve a natural remedy for our daily ailments. I have been adamant about only using an isolate to ensure that my products are THC free. This way anyone would be able to use it and not have to worry about their career. I have created products that help with focusing the brain, alleviating anxiety symptoms, reducing PMS symptoms, and my top-selling products are the pain cream and sleep tincture. I am still researching and working on adding new products.

I think the greatest gift that I have gotten through opening this business is the feedback that I get from customers. To hear the struggles of what so many people are living with and then hearing about how my product has helped them, is absolutely priceless!

Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
My dad teaching me how to drive a stick shift. I can’t even tell you how old I was, we grew up in the mountains out of town, so I was cruising around our dirt roads at a very young. However, this one particular cruising experience makes the cut. My dad had this little MG Midget, couldn’t tell you the year but it was compact and fun. Anyway, one day he said I need to learn how to work a clutch, so we pop into the small car and he teaches me the ins and outs of the clutch and gears. We went around the dirt roads just a few times before he proceeds to tell me that we need to take this drive to the paved roads.

To me this was a huge deal, no there was not a lot of traffic, but the paved roads compared to dirt roads where a whole new experience. To the paved road we went. Like I said we lived in the mountains, so there were many curvy roads. This is where I was taught the magic of shifting the car and accelerating in a way that really lets you “hug the turn”. I don’t remember how many times I went up and down the same road hugging the curves, but I thought that I was the coolest Nascar driver ever at that moment.
