Who we are

Hi! Thanks for being here.

We’re Collin and Alicia, a husband-and-wife team passionate about plants and natural healing. Full disclosure: I’m not a professional copywriter, but I’ll do my best to tell our story!

Collin’s love for plants started early—one of his first jobs was at a nursery, and that passion grew into a lifelong dedication to organic, regenerative growing. Over the years, he’s studied the advanced healing properties of cannabis, focusing on its potential for wellness and pain relief.

As for me—nice to meet you! I’m Alicia. Collin and I both spent most of our careers as creatives in advertising, but at different points, we hit a wall where stress was no longer sustainable and we had to make tricky decisions about health and how to approach various challenges.

For Collin, that meant facing the possibility of neck surgery. Instead, he turned to a disciplined, anti-inflammatory regimen centered around exercise, yoga and cannabis, which has helped him manage pain and avoid surgery for the past 10 years.

For me, it was an open-ended prescription for antibiotics to manage recurring infections. Relying on daily medication indefinitely wasn’t correcting my underlying issue, so I sought alternative treatments. Reiki, acupuncture, and herbal medicine helped me restore balance, which led me to become a Reiki Master and later study herbalism—first locally in Salem, MA, and then through Cornell’s Medicinal Plants program.

At the root of so many health struggles—aches, pains, and chronic conditions—is inflammation. And one of the most powerful, natural ways to combat inflammation? CBD.

That’s the heart of Vessel Therapeutics—our mission to help others find healing through the same plant-based paths that transformed our lives.

We’re so glad you’re here.
