This week on Limitless Healing with Colette Brown, we’re bringing back a listener-favorite episode featuring Jennifer Walsh, a trailblazer in beauty, wellness, and biophilic design.

Why? Because we’ve been sharing about the importance of connecting with nature and bringing the outside in; making this episode a must-listen all over again!

Jennifer shares her inspiring journey, from creating Beauty Bar, the first omni-channel beauty brand in the U.S., to her groundbreaking work in nature-based corporate wellness programs. She explores how integrating biophilic solutions into our homes, workplaces, and lives can profoundly impact our well-being.

Let’s celebrate our connection to the outdoors; because nature truly heals! In this episode Colette interviews Jennifer Walsh a true visionary and architect of the beauty, wellness and retail landscape as the creator of Beauty Bar in 1998, the very first omni-channel beauty brand in the United States. She changed the way people shopped for beauty and wellness by creating a first retail powerhouse that allowed beauty and wellness shoppers to see and experience niche and independent beauty products in her brick and mortar stores, on her e-commerce website, and a weekly TV show. It was a first to market fully interactive experience.

Jennifer shares how her relationship with the beauty industry was deeply rooted in the natural world and how we connect to nature. Jennifer, always curious about how nature affected our wellbeing, began spending time with neuroscientists around the country to learn more about this link to nature and its effects on the brain. She began working with companies that wanted to infuse nature into their corporate wellness programs, into their business practices, and as part of employee education. This not only meant creating the now sought after Wellness Walks with Walsh program and educating on the impact and importance of integrating biophilic, nature based solutions into cities, corporate campuses, retailers and homes.

Tune in to rediscover the healing power of nature, the magic of trees, and why we all need dirt to thrive! Let this episode reignite your passion for connecting with the natural world.
