Welcome to The Willow Grove! We’re happy you made it. Perhaps you'd like to know a little about the people tending the Grove…
Kathy and Andrew Coutinho discovered the secret location of The Willow Grove in 2010. The dream began in Kathy’s heart many years before, and she expressed an interest in making a batch of handcrafted soap with someone who believed in dreams.
Andrew asked, “Why not?”
So they made a batch, not fully understanding how to do it or where it would lead. It was a batch of lavender soap made in a glass 13x9 casserole dish. Their soap used only essential oils for scenting - neither of them liked the idea of using scents that weren't authentic. They even thought they’d be stylish and include real, natural lavender buds.
The seed of the dream that had been kept hidden away had now been planted.
Four weeks later, when the soap had solidified and cured, they handed out the crude and wrinkled bars to friends and family to see what they thought. They all eagerly tried the soap and Kathy and Andrew received positive feedback from everyone. Well this was a step in the right direction!
They decided to make a go of it and build the dream into a business. They began crafting honest bath, body, and aromatherapy products that people could trust. They believe that if you can’t understand the ingredients in a product, then neither can your body. They believe you deserve to enjoy some of the simple pleasures in life with the confidence of sincere quality.
So please, have a look around and enjoy the peace of mind here in The Willow Grove!
