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 spark grew into a lifelong dedication to organic, regenerative growing. Over the years, he dove deep into cannabis science and its therapeutic potential, studying the plant’s chemistry and how it supports pain relief, sleep, and recovery.

He’s now recognized across the industry for pioneering solventless extraction and elevating purity and performance. As Head of Formulation at PAX Labs, his products won multiple awards. He’s built labs, engineered facilities, and consulted globally across regulated markets. (Translation: Collin knows his stuff.)

As for me—nice to meet you! I’m Alicia :) Before Vessel, Collin and I spent most of our careers as creatives in advertising. Eventually, injuries and stress caught up with us and pushed us to rethink how we cared for ourselves.

For Collin, a disciplined anti-inflammatory regimen centered around movement, yoga, and cannabis has helped him manage pain and avoid surgery for 15+ years. For me, Reiki, acupuncture, and herbal medicine restored balance and led me to become a Reiki Master and later study herbalism—first in Salem, MA and then through Cornell’s Medicinal Plants program.

At the root of so many modern struggles—aches, stress, and chronic issues—is inflammation. And one of the most powerful natural ways to calm it? CBD. That’s the heart of Vessel Therapeutics—our mission to help others find relief and healing through the same plant-based paths that transformed our lives.
