I blogged my way through our IVF process as a way to release some of my emotions and thoughts. A small community was being built through my blog so I began to add categories outside of infertility such as beauty, recipes, and my personal style. I enjoyed sharing my sometimes bohemian, sometimes edgy, but always feminine style. I felt called to open my own space where all types of women could find fun and trendy outfits so I jumped into the online boutique world and have been loving every minute of it since then. I was even able to expand into a storefront location right here in Summerlin!
Therapie started because I needed an emotional outlet through writing, but it continues to provide so much for me and hopefully women everywhere. Whether you are petite, plus size, or anything in-between, you can find on-trend stylish pieces here to add to your wardrobe.
