About the Owner
Hello! My name is Ariella, and I am the owner and creator behind AMM Essentials! I am a graduate student, studying to be an Occupational Therapist. I am from and create our products in Western Massachusetts. I started making body care products and candles in 2020 as a result of quarantine boredom but decided to take a leap (of faith lol) into the small business world at the beginning of 2023.
As a full-time student with 2 other part-time jobs, AMM Essentials is my creative outlet that allows me to ground myself in times of stress. I find so much joy in making products that I love, and it makes me even happier knowing that other people love them just as much as I do. I have been so passionate about self-care ever since COVID hit, and AMM Essentials has helped me share this passion with so many other people!
Being a small business owner is no joke! I am still brand new to this world and learning as I go. I am so thankful to all the kind people who have helped me along the way, and to those who will help me in the future! I am having so much fun on this journey and I am excited to see what it evolves into :) I hope you follow along with me as I create new products and perfect formulations so that we can all use products that we love and that promote self-care!
As I mentioned, I am a full-time student studying for my degree in Occupational Therapy. I graduated in May of 2023 and began classes for my Masters degree the same month! I absolutely love the field I am entering, and I cannot wait to begin practicing as a clinician. When I am not studying, I am spending time with my friends and family, or working one of my other jobs. I find myself being pretty busy, but my amazing boyfriend is always there to help me out. He is a major part of the behind-the-scenes work of AMM Essentials, too! Together, we love traveling, going to Boston Bruins games, playing with our pups, Remi and Tucker, and cooking.
Thanks for getting to know a little bit about me :)
