As a licensed massage therapist, Pennie has been in and around the spa industry for the past fifteen years. Previously, she developed a cruelty free, natural, organic bath, beauty and spa line. During this time, she was a member of the distinguished organization Green America and sold her collection retail, wholesale and in bulk to spas, salons and boutiques in the US and Europe for over six years. Currently she designs jewelry made with cruelty free materials, though through her writing, she continues to teach others to make their own healthy bath, beauty and home spa products and treatments. A vegetarian (vegan), she has had a lifelong love for healthy living, natural beauty and enjoys splurging on spa treatments at local establishments whenever time permits.
