Meet The Founder of TerpMomma
I'm Charlenne Aston, the founder of TerpMomma, and I'd like to share my personal journey with you—a journey filled with transformation, resilience, and a profound connection to the healing potential of terpenes.
My story begins with my heritage as a first-generation Mexican American with deep indigenous roots. For generations, my family has cherished the wisdom of medicinal herbs and holistic well-being practices. This cultural heritage instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature's gifts and their ability to enhance our lives.
Initially, I embarked on a different path, training as a pastry chef and spending nearly two decades working in professional kitchens. The culinary world was my playground, where I crafted delightful confections and dishes. It was a career that demanded long hours and took a toll on my body over time.
However, life had something different in store for me. My husband, three boys, and I made a life-altering decision to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and embrace a quieter existence as chicken farmers in the serene town of Mountain View, Arkansas. It was a decision that promised a slower pace of life and a deeper connection to the natural world.
But just as we were settling into our new life, the world was thrown into turmoil by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a time of uncertainty, and like many, we faced our own challenges. Yet, amidst these difficult times, I embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery and transformation.
The turning point came when I needed surgery on my shoulder, the result of years of physical strain in kitchens. This experience led me to explore the healing potential of cannabis, particularly the role of terpenes.
Cannabis had always been a part of my life, but during this period, it became more than just a choice—it became my primary source of relief and well-being. It was through the study of terpenes that I had a profound revelation.
I realized that beyond THC levels and strain names, terpenes played a pivotal role in my wellness journey. They held the key to consistency in my medicine, ensuring that I could rely on its effects when I needed them most.
This realization was a game-changer, not only for me, as a long-time cannabis user, but also for newcomers to the world of cannabis. It was the birth of an idea—to empower others through terpenes.
Today, TerpMomma isn't just a brand; it's a reflection of my journey, a community of like-minded individuals, an educational resource, and a source of top-quality terpene-infused products. My story stands as a testament to the power of personal experience and the belief that knowledge can empower us all.
As the founder of TerpMomma, my mission is to inspire and guide you on your wellness journey, one terpene at a time. Together, we'll explore the world of terpenes, unlocking their potential to enhance our lives and well-being. Welcome to TerpMomma—it's a pleasure to have you with us on this journey of discovery and empowerment
