A Hand Impairment Brings Empowerment

Hello there! I'm Debbie, founder of The Squeeze Aromatherapy Dough.

About ten years ago I lost mobility in my right hand. After several surgeries, I spent hundreds of hours squeezing at the physical therapy center, where they provided me with a little plain tub of light blue medicinal-grade putty (not very glam).

Fast forward several years...It was time to create a handheld product that combined the therapeutic powers of pure essential oils with an amazingly soft, firm and aromatic dough to squeeze for your mind and spirit. Did I mention I wanted it to look good, too? (Who doesn't like a little eye candy?)

As an owner of a boutique family bakery in St. Louis, MO, this project is something that I felt "kneaded" to happen. Better still, this dough doesn't involve lots of calories and sugar!

Having this hand impairment has had its limitations, but its brought great relief with my favorite creation. I hope "The Squeeze" becomes your main squeeze like it has for me! Please let me know if you'd like a scent you don't see listed. I'm always trying to add more a little at a time.

Thanks "dough" much for stopping by!

Debbie
