About nine years ago I started working for a small little Herb Shop with the passion to expand my knowledge on herbal medicine and offer me an outlet to connect with my community. I worked for the previous owner for about 3 1/2 years helping her expand, develop and change the business. I then took over the business in 2017. Owning and managing a business was a new journey and has me helped me grow personally. Herbal medicine is still our number one department and passion and we have expanded a lot of our artisan goods over the years. We continue to support handmade, local, small, and women owned businesses. We strive to serve our community with high quality organic natural alternatives for stress, sleep, pain relief, depression, and libido. We have house- made herbal smokes and delicious curated teas with a purpose. In addition to products that make you healthy and feel good, we carry an array of sparkly, beautiful, shiny things. From jewelry art, clothing, and candles. But wait there's more… all of your spiritual needs from native Americans supported white sage smudge bundles, Anointing oil's, essential oils, incense, resins, pendulums, tarot decks and more! Our walls feature local artist Danny Fernández and friends who painted the mural which can be enjoyed with the 3-D glasses when you walk in the door and check out our 3-D tapestries! 831-469-4372 1125 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz 607 Soquel Ave. 831-423-4711 www.naturalselectionfurniture.com If anyone had told me I'd be a business owner in Santa Cruz for almost 40 yrs, I'da said they were crazy!

No doubt these last few years have been challenging with all that Covid has brought and while life has taught us how to adapt there is no doubt we will prevail and thrive even stronger. Thank you to all my wonderful customers for your continued support, it's truly humbling and my honor to continue making your house a home where memories are made.
