When you ask Plant Therapy’s VP Joanne to describe her mom, Gail, four words come instantly to mind: Driven, Insightful, Supportive, and Smart. But spend just a few minutes hearing Joanne speak about her mom, and you’ll find those words only begin to scratch the surface.
A Love That Never Falters
Joanne has never once questioned her mother’s love. Gail’s support has been a steady, unwavering presence throughout her life. She’s the kind of mom who listens intently, offers advice with care, and always shows up—whether it’s to celebrate a big win or offer comfort during life’s tougher moments. That deep, unconditional love has shaped Joanne into the confident, capable woman she is today.
Strength Passed Down Through Generations
Gail’s journey from teacher to Director of Special Education in California is a testament to her determination and dedication. As a child, Joanne watched her mom advocate passionately for children with special needs, all while climbing the ranks professionally. It was a powerful example of strength and leadership—one that left a lasting impression. Today, Joanne credits much of her own ambition and confidence to the example her mom set early on.
Now, their relationship has evolved into something even more special. They share a professional bond, with Gail often serving as Joanne’s trusted mentor. Whether it’s business advice or life perspective, her mom remains the first person Joanne turns to for insight and encouragement.
Three Generations of Connection
The love and dedication Gail poured into raising Joanne now extends to the next generation. She has built a meaningful relationship with Joanne’s two teenage daughters—one filled with genuine curiosity, support, and involvement. During the challenges of COVID, she went above and beyond, connecting with them over FaceTime and Zoom to help with schoolwork and make sure they stayed on track. Her presence is a cherished gift, not just to Joanne, but to the entire family.
A Few of Her Favorite Things
Gail’s favorite Plant Therapy products are little moments of comfort and care. She gravitates toward soothing scents and self-care staples, like the Sleep Tight Roll-On, Vanilla Woods Body Wash, and the Wool Dryer Balls with Sparkling Lavender Essential Oil.
For Mother’s Day, Joanne has handpicked a few gifts she knows her mom will love. The Vanilla Body Lotion is a must—perfect for moisturizing after her daily walks with her dog Max, especially during the colder months. She’s also chosen the Frankincense & Argan Facial Oil Roll-On, knowing Gail will appreciate the ease of use and the skin-loving benefits it offers. And to keep her mind feeling sharp and focused, the Brain Power Herbal Tincture is part of the mix—a thoughtful nod to her mom’s lifelong mental clarity and curiosity.
These gifts are more than just products. They’re tokens of appreciation for a lifetime of love, guidance, and unwavering support—a way to give back to the woman who has given so much.
