The Story Behind CBD Pura Vida:

From Personal Healing to Helping Others

My Story

In 2015, my life took an unexpected turn. A severe car accident left me with a concussion so debilitating that I couldn’t sleep for more than an hour at a time. Sleep deprivation quickly became a nightmare, and my sensitivity to medication only made things worse. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an extreme reaction to both prescription and over-the-counter drugs—something I likely inherited from my grandmother, who tragically passed away from a small dose of anesthesia. Even everyday remedies like Nyquil would leave me groggy for days. My options felt limited, and I was desperate for relief.

About a week after my accident, I stumbled upon a small street vendor at a farmer’s market in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He was selling CBD drops. At first, I dismissed his offer—I assumed it was just another marijuana product, and that wasn’t for me. But he patiently explained that CBD, derived from hemp, is entirely different. Unlike THC, the compound in marijuana that causes a high, CBD works at a cellular level, targeting the nerves rather than the central nervous system. He even mentioned that the prestigious Children’s Hospital at the University of Colorado was beginning to use CBD to treat children with brain injuries and epilepsy.

Desperation overcame skepticism. Exhausted and unable to face another sleepless night, I decided to give CBD a try. That night, for the first time in a week, I fell into a deep, natural sleep. I didn’t feel drugged or groggy—just rested and rejuvenated. I continued using the CBD drops for four months until my body recovered enough to sleep on its own.

That experience was transformative. For someone like me, who often faces health challenges without the relief of conventional medications, discovering CBD felt like a miracle. It wasn’t just about sleep—it was about reclaiming my quality of life. I couldn’t help but think about all the others who might benefit: people who, like me, are sensitive to medications or prefer natural remedies over synthetic alternatives. That’s when I knew I wanted to share this discovery with the world.

At first, I partnered with existing CBD companies to spread the word. But as I worked with these businesses, I encountered a recurring problem: many companies struggled with either product quality, effective management, or both. Some used CBD derived from marijuana plants, which didn’t align with my vision of pure, hemp-based solutions. After years of frustration and switching between seven different suppliers, I remembered something my parents always told me:

"If you want something done right,

do it yourself."

With my background in research, biology, and public health, I dove into the world of CBD production. My goal was simple: to create pure, hemp-derived products for people who, like me, want to improve their health naturally.

We don't make recreational products. Our carefully crafted formulas designed to help people live vibrant, balanced lives.

That vision led to the creation of CBD Pura Vida. The name reflects our philosophy: “Pura Vida,” or “pure life,” is not only a greeting in Costa Rica—a country known for its extraordinary longevity—but also a reminder to live simply, naturally, and fully.

We’re proud to bring you thoughtfully developed products that reflect our commitment to quality, purity, and wellness. Everyone at CBD Pura Vida hopes you’ll enjoy them as much as we do—and that they’ll bring you the same peace and vitality that first inspired our journey.
