Life & Work with Amyia Glover of Ohio

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amyia Glover.

Hi Amyia, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My journey with Nature’s Pleasantries began from a very personal place. I struggled with eczema for years and found that conventional medicine wasn’t giving me the relief I was looking for. That experience led me to explore natural remedies, where I discovered the incredible healing power of herbs and plant-based ingredients. It opened my eyes to a whole new approach to wellness rooted in nature.

As I learned more, I became inspired by ancestral wisdom and the belief that our bodies have an incredible ability to heal when they’re properly supported. I started creating my own plant-based body care, skincare, and herbal wellness products, blending traditional herbal knowledge with modern wellness practices. My goal has always been to create products that not only soothe and restore the skin but also encourage people to slow down and care for themselves intentionally.

Today, Nature’s Pleasantries is much more than a business to me, it’s a reflection of my personal healing journey and my passion for helping others experience wellness in a more natural, holistic way. Through every product and every story I share, I hope to inspire people to reconnect with nature, embrace self-care as a daily ritual, and discover the healing that can come from the earth’s gifts.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, but every challenge has taught me something valuable. One of the biggest struggles has been building a business from the ground up while wearing so many hats. From formulating products and sourcing quality ingredients to branding, marketing, and educating customers about herbal wellness, there’s been a constant learning curve.

Another challenge has been earning people’s trust. Natural healing often requires patience and consistency, and not everyone is familiar with the benefits of plant-based remedies. I’ve had to learn how to effectively share my knowledge, educate my community, and let the quality of my products speak for themselves.

There have also been moments of self-doubt, especially when growing a small business. Balancing my passion with the realities of entrepreneurship hasn’t always been easy, but my own healing journey continues to remind me why I started. Every positive testimonial, returning customer, and person who finds relief through my products reinforces my purpose and motivates me to keep going.

Looking back, I wouldn’t change the challenges because they’ve shaped not only my business but also me as a founder. They’ve taught me resilience, patience, and the importance of staying true to my mission of helping people reconnect with nature and care for themselves in a meaningful way.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Professionally, I work in public health as an Executive Assistant, where I support leadership, manage complex projects, coordinate operations, and help ensure that programs run efficiently. My role requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, problem-solving, and the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining professionalism and confidentiality.

What I’m most proud of is being someone people can rely on. I’m known for being organized, resourceful, and proactive, always looking for ways to improve processes and support my team so we can better serve our community. Working in public health has also strengthened my commitment to helping others and making a positive impact, which aligns closely with the mission behind Nature’s Pleasantries.

I believe what sets me apart is my ability to blend structure with creativity. In my professional career, I thrive on organization, planning, and execution, while through Nature’s Pleasantries I get to express my passion for herbal wellness, education, and holistic living. Together, these experiences have helped me become a well-rounded leader who values both efficiency and compassion, whether I’m supporting a public health initiative or creating products that help people care for themselves naturally.

Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
One of my favorite childhood memories is simply spending time with my family surrounded by music. Whether it was listening to music while cooking, gathering for celebrations, or singing and laughing together, those moments created a sense of joy, comfort, and connection that has stayed with me throughout my life.

Growing up, music had a way of bringing everyone together. It created memories, strengthened family bonds, and taught me to appreciate the importance of slowing down and enjoying the people around you. Looking back, those experiences shaped my love for meaningful traditions, community, and creating moments of peace and connection, values that continue to influence both my personal life and the heart behind Nature’s Pleasantries.
