Fall for fall with Kaya Holistic goods and gifts
When Arizona’s weather turns cool, it’s time to enjoy the fresh air, spruce up at home and prepare to get cozy.
Kaya Holistic, an independent retailer of eco-friendly, handcrafted goods, has all the products you need to fall for fall.
Owner Cathleen Mitchell says her store, which sells online at kayaholistic.com and in person at 6102 N. 16th St., Phoenix, is “a manifestation of all of my passions.”
She began exploring aromatherapy, acupuncture and organic foods in her 20s, before they went mainstream.
Now, Mitchell has put her passions into curating high-quality, environmentally sustainable goods, many of which are made right here in Arizona.
Beyond the herbal tinctures, CBD salves, mushroom powders and adaptogenic tonics Mitchell carries, she also sells children’s toys and baby accessories, gardening and kitchen items, skin care and bath products, as well as local art and books — perfect gifts for birthdays, weddings and dinner parties.
“There’s no other store like it,” Mitchell said. “It’s a special little place.”
