As far back as I remember, I wanted to be a doctor. But the more medical science I studied, the more paranoid I became about everyday life. I was convinced I had come down with every new sickness I studied. In a single semester I went from having sickle cell anemia to lupus to just plain old, generalized cancer. Working in a hospital did not make things any easier, because I saw first-hand all of the pain and suffering people go through. It was time to make a change. I applied for a job as a lab technician for a company that made antiperspirant and deodorants. The moment that I walked into the research lab I knew; this was my kind of work. Science mixed with creativity. From that moment I started dreaming about my having my own factory.

Some years later I started Morganna’s on a kitchen table in Belgium, with an anti-aging cream I created, called Break the Hourglass.

I made a lot of skincare products that I would send to my neighbors via my son and his bicycle.  One day my aunt asked me to develop a product that would allow her to go through longer periods of time in between her Botox™ treatments.  She did not want to stop the treatments, but she occasionally would get flu-like symptoms for two weeks after each session., She needed a product that would help her go through longer periods of time between treatments. That is how the Elixir came to be.

 I started to notice that with no marketing and only word-of-mouth to reach potential customers, the requests for more bigger amounts of the Elixir were coming. No one had told me that they were giving to their friends … 

A year after inventing it, I put the Elixir one day and the effects were astounding.  I even had to stop the car while I was driving to call my best friend and say, “This stuff works!” She answered, “I told you so.” That’s when I realized Morganna’s Alchemy could be a business. The whole thing quickly became a family affair with my children always helping to make small samples and product.

Today Morganna’s Alchemy is distributed in many countries such as France (where Morganna’s Alchemy products were the top-selling skin care products on the French shopping channel ‘M6 Boutique’) Estonia, Poland, Romania, Haiti, Canada, Martinique and Guadeloupe, all while being developed and manufactured in beautiful sunny Florida USA
