After experiencing intimate abuse as a kid, the Rev. Becca Stevens created a nonprofit to help women who have survived prostitution, trafficking, and craving find sanctuary and security. That is her - and their - story. Becca Stevens phone calls herself a "snake engine oil salesman" - in a good sense. The sociable business she founded, Thistle Farms, provides purpose and occupation to abused women, providing them with the economical well-being to get started new lives. The natural body-care products that Thistle Farms manufactures - balms, soaps, and creams, whose materials include essential oils - bring restoration comfort to the business's customers, too. In Snake Essential oil, Stevens explains to how her childhood, marked by intimate misuse and her father's tragic loss of life, equipped her with the understanding to understand other cracked lives, leading her to establish the Magdalene domestic community for prostitutes and, later, Thistle Farms. Wise and reflective, Snake Essential oil offers an empowering narrative and a selection of dishes for restorative healing remedies that visitors can make themselves.
