Our Story

Founder’s Message

I am a curator of fine wellness.

I have long been an advocate of healthy eating, conscious living, mindful practices and respecting our Mother Earth.

I founded this company in Boulder Colorado in 2015 to help you live your most extraordinary life, however you define it.

I believe in supporting you in the way you need it most. Sometimes you may need healing and recovery, other times you may wish to be provided comfort, or you might just need a helping hand on your journey through life.

I am passionate about serving you, and if you contact our company, it shouldn’t be surprising if you get a personal answer from me.

To Your Extraordinary Life,

For Marilynn

Everything we do, we do for family.

Whole Food Biotin

When our Founder created SolaGarden Naturals, her Mom was being treated to prevent a very aggressive form of cancer from returning in her body. She was taking a synthetic biotin product to help improve her thinning hair and dry skin, so Kristy did some research to find out exactly what it was made from. What she found was not good. She found that over 99% of the biotin on the market today is synthetic and made from undisclosed chemicals. At that point, she made it her mission to find a pure plant-based source of biotin that her Mom could take and not risk putting unnecessary chemicals into her body. After a year of searching, Kristy located a USDA Certified Organic source of Biotin and began production immediately. Whole Food Biotin became a very special product inspired by Kristy’s beautiful, loving Mom. We invite you to watch the video below to find out why…

Kristy Riveland

Founder | Curator of Fine Wellness

Kristy founded this company to help you discover your own definition of wellness and live your most extraordinary life. She is the passion behind the brand and will do whatever it takes to bring you the finest and purest ingredients in every product. When she’s not tirelessly pursuing the best ingredients in the world, she may be spending time with her two beautiful children and husband, playing her harp somewhere out in nature, or otherwise making the most of her extraordinary life in Colorado.

Samantha Marmer

Manufacturing and Operations

Samantha makes sure everything is exactly as it should be from selecting ethical suppliers of raw material to overseeing quality during the manufacturing process to ensuring a perfect final product. When she’s not creating the finest supplements available, she enjoys water activities in the hot Miami sun, traveling and spending time with her nieces and nephews.

Marissa Woodman

Advisor | Marketing Strategy and Execution

Marissa first met Kristy at a digital marketing firm where she worked as an account manager. Years earlier, Marissa was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. On her journey to recovery, she became a Certified Health Coach with a passion for education around clean food, skincare and supplements. Having also experienced the struggle of a mom with cancer, taking care of her loved one’s health has always been a top priority. When she isn’t managing client strategy or educating on safer products, you can find her with her pup Jeffery, juicing, making nourishing foods and exploring all that beautiful Colorado has to offer.

Neil Buckley

Advisor | Fitness Expert Coordinator

Neil met Kristy through a life coaching group, and they continue to meet regularly in a Mastermind group to counsel each other on their businesses. He is the founder of NeeBooFit, a fitness products company that specializes in portable fitness accessories such as resistance bands and massage balls. Through his company, he has helped create a network of fitness experts providing training and other wellness resources. When he's not working on product development, he's studying music or playing sports in beautiful Colorado.

Mary Matthews

Advisor | MultiPassionate Entrepreneur

Mary meets regularly with Kristy as part of a Mastermind group with a clear purpose of setting and accomplishing both personal and professional goals. She is part entrepreneur, part family CEO, part recovering perfectionist, expert collaborator and problem solver. She is the founder and owner of BoomBuster, a noise mask for annoying bass boom, as well as the owner of RescueTech, a nationwide Electronic Restoration and consulting company. Mary thrives when given the opportunity to shine the light of questioning and truth upon otherwise uncomfortable facts (sometimes known as problems too close to see). Gathering together the right thinkers and watching the magic of solution happen right before her eyes is what brings her the absolute most contentment.

Lylah

Chief Door Greeter and Guest Announcer

Lylah reminds everyone to make the most of each moment. She loves each person she meets and invites all newcomers to give her a good scratch before they can go about their business. She knows how to get her Vitamin D by following the sun from window to window, is the ultimate couch potato, and always knows when it’s lunch time. She takes her organic Turmeric Curcumin daily to keep her joints moving and tail wagging. No one would ever guess she’s no longer a puppy! She’s affectionately known as Licky Lylah Wigglebutt.
