Primary contact: Farrah Suleman - Founder
I can be available to assist in any capacity. This business is in a rebranding phase and is launching in 2022. Sales are still occurring but I feel that being able to be a mentor and have a team to work though this with would be a high priority for me.
About the company
Farrah Suleman found solace from the adversity she faced by applying alternative medicine and holistic healing. Through her own healing journey, she discovered the pleasure and fulfillment of helping others, leading her to become a Reiki Master. “I recognized that I had a purpose and that was to help others through their pain by teaching them the tools that I used to help me overcome it.” Farrah founded Kisses From Heaven in 2018 to provide Reiki experiences that are accessible to all by creating Reiki and Crystal-infused handmade organic soaps and 100% soy candles. Each of which is infused with Reiki and Crystal Healing properties. All our products are toxin, SLS, parabens and phthalates-free. We work with trusted Artisans to provide metaphysical Reiki-infused products including natural mists such as the Reiki Mist and sell Palo Santo, raw crystals and abalone shells. Our hope is that you enjoy the start to a tranquil life as you heal and become the best version of yourself through the power of Reiki.
