About

Sevi + Mundo + Leo

Our company started like most of the indie companies out there. Serendipity!

It was around 1997 that my German Shepherd Mundo came down with a mystery illness. Back then, I was a different person. I was the kind of gal who went with everything that  I was told by the media, by the salesperson, and by the doctors; hence, for a year or so, I went with what the vets were telling + selling. 

Months later, Mundo simply did not get any better, nor were we any closer to figuring out what caused her sudden illness. I discovered Google and went to work. My research took me from allergies to how to alleviate them naturally. I became a part-time kitchen witch and started to brew potions and soaps for Mundo. Within a few weeks, she began to return to her healthy self. We banished not only the carpet powder that caused her illness, but we started to eliminate products and foods we decided to bring into our home.

My dog has indeed saved my life. I owe her all that I know about holistic lifestyle. 

In the late 90s, creating a venue where I could sell my handmade canine products was merely a daydream. 

The "you can do anything!" look my ultra-awesome canine Mundo gave me made me think I could even start a business.

 So we did, Mundo + I -- working together, shoulder to shoulder.

Years flew by, and I "matured." Now, when I look back, I can see how lucky I was to be the guardian of such a life-loving, life-teaching animal.

Everything I know today about herbs, aromatherapy, raw materials, cosmetic formulations, nutrition, and a holistic lifestyle is because Mundo has led me on this path—and what an awesome path it is.

My autoimmune disorders started in 1998, but it was many moons later that I was able to connect all the dots.

Today, I am obsessive about what we consume and use, as they affect our immunity as a whole. Whole foods, locally sourced fruits and vegetables purchased from indie companies with eco-conscious footprints, gluten-free, soy-free, and a healing lifestyle.

My motto is (long); no harm to ourselves, others, and our planet. Leave things better than you have found them. Try hard, and if you fail, do better next time. 

All the products I handcraft are based on this philosophy. Hence, I handpick cruelty-free ingredients that are as whole and minimally tinkered with as possible. I cannot tolerate gluten and soy, so our products are soy—and gluten-free.

What started as a quest to help my dog's illness carried me into a world full of herbal magic. I get to wake up each day and create what I love the most: products filled with love, compassion, and honesty. 

After Mundo's passing, I stopped making dog products, feeling the weight of loss and grief.

However, something shifted when Leo (the best Husky) came into my life, and we connected during an especially tumultuous time.

He not only reignited my spark for creating these products, but for life once again! And with him, my heart began to heal.

Returning to crafting these natural grooming products feels like coming home—back to where this journey began with Mundo in 1998, with a renewed sense of focus, purpose and passion.
