In the evolving landscape of wellness and lifestyle brands, Club Naturista stands out as a platform dedicated to natural living and holistic approaches. This entity is more than just a wellness blog or product line; it represents a movement rooted in personal experiences, scientific exploration, and a deep appreciation for nature’s role in everyday well-being.

The story of Club Naturista begins with its founder’s deeply personal journey. At the tender age of 15, Stephanie Curtis watched as her father received a life-altering diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. This pivotal moment would set the course for her future, though she wouldn’t realize it for years to come.

In 2014, driven by a passion for fashion, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a stylist. With dreams of gracing Vogue covers (albeit not for fashion), she dove into the world of high-end clothing, interning at a fashion firm in downtown LA. However, life had other plans. To make ends meet in the expensive city, she took a job in holistic medicine unknowingly stepping into the world of alternative wellness.

This serendipitous turn of events opened her eyes to the potential of natural remedies and holistic health approaches. As she puts it, “This was my introduction to the world of wellness and alternative approaches to health.” This experience became more than just a job; it was a classroom where she learned about the intricate relationships between plants and human health.

A Decade of Discovery

Over the next decade, the founder’s life became a fascinating blend of high fashion and holistic health. One day she’d be steaming vintage Alaïa and running around LA showrooms, the next she’d be donning a lab coat and getting her hands dirty in nature. This unique combination of experiences allowed her to witness firsthand the power of nature in overcoming various health issues and imbalances.

As she juggled her fashion aspirations with her growing interest in nature and its medicinal properties, she found herself increasingly drawn to the latter. She began applying her newfound knowledge to help her father, bridging the gap between her passion and her family’s needs. “The grow room taught me as much as the showroom,” she reflects, “but eventually I began spending  my days in the soil.”

Personal Health Crisis: The Catalyst for Change

In 2022, the founder of the organization was challenged with a personal health crisis, which underscored her dedication to natural wellness practices. Presented with a serious diagnosis and offered little more than a lifetime of pharmaceuticals, she made the bold decision to seek alternative treatments. “I watched my father go down that path and I chose against it,” she explains.

This experience led her to spend 1.5 years researching various alternative wellness approaches, culminating in her decision to try Bee Venom Therapy. This method involves the application of live bee stings along the spinal area, utilizing the properties of melittin in bee venom. Through her journey, she gained extensive knowledge about holistic health and wellness. As her insights became increasingly sought after by both acquaintances and strangers, she recognized a deeper purpose. This realization gave rise to Club Naturista, a platform designed to share her journey and insights into natural wellness with a broader audience.

Club Naturista: More Than Just a Brand

Club Naturista is not merely a collection of products or a wellness blog. It’s a comprehensive approach to life that puts nature at the center of health and wellbeing. The brand’s mission is clear: to create an educational platform that makes nature, health, and wellness accessible and understandable for everyone.

At its core, Club Naturista focuses on storytelling. The website acts as a resource center, sharing a variety of experiences from individuals who have pursued wellness through natural methods. It offers a platform where the founder’s own health experiences are shared, aiming to provide insights and guidance for others navigating similar challenges.

The founder emphasizes, “My goal is to bring it all back to nature, whether that be through story, product, or service. I plan to use the blog as the information hub, telling stories by experiences of people from all walks of life, showcasing my own health journey, and everything else in between.”

But Club Naturista doesn’t stop at information. The brand also offers a carefully curated selection of products, each aligned with its natural ethos. Each product is chosen with care and backed by the founder’s personal experience and research. The brand plans to expand its curated collection of “Club Naturista approved products” right on their website, offering customers a trusted source for natural wellness solutions.

A Philosophy for Life

At its heart, Club Naturista is more than a brand – it’s a philosophy for living. The founder’s experiences have led her to a profound understanding of life’s ups and downs. She reflects, “I think life is meant to be a full spectrum of experiences. One day totally knocking us to our knees and the next morning after going through all of the emotions, you see a double-rainbow. That is the beauty of life.”

This philosophy extends to her view of human potential. “I believe our bodies are capable of overcoming anything. They are so incredibly resilient and magical,” she states. It’s this belief that drives Club Naturista’s mission to empower individuals to take charge of their health through natural means.

Word from the Founder

“I want to encourage people to take health into their own hands, and if you are healthy – don’t get so caught up in the hustle and bustle that you forget to smell the flowers. Nature is the highest form of luxury,” shared Stephanie Curtis. 

As Club Naturista continues to grow and evolve, it remains true to its roots – a love letter to nature, a testament to personal transformation, and a beacon of hope for those seeking a more natural path to wellness. Whether through its informative blog posts, carefully curated products, or future wellness services, Club Naturista is poised to become a leading voice in the natural health movement, inspiring individuals to reconnect with nature and discover their own path to holistic wellbeing.
