The idea to start Winged came after plant medicine saved me from a dark place. I was battling crippling anxiety after a series of major life changes and I was pretty desperate.

A friend recommended a combination of herbs and adaptogens and I began to feel the tightness in my chest lessen. I felt like myself again – I was able to sleep through the night, was comfortable in my own skin, and there was a lightness back about me that I had lost.

Despite feeling better, I wanted answers. I dove into research and learned that statistically women suffer from anxiety, depression, and insomnia at about twice the rate of men. I started talking to many women in my life – incredible women who seemed to have it all together – and I noticed a common thread. They all experienced the same feelings I did – feeling overwhelmed and battling bouts of anxiety almost every single day. I thought, "What if I could do something to help that?"

That’s when the idea of Winged began to form. I wanted to share the relief I felt with other women and set out to build a product line specifically formulated for women.

Our singular mission is to help women feel good. We believe that with products formulated specifically for a woman’s body, plus a supportive community of Winged women, we might be able to do just that.
