Made for Women by Women – A night with StellaVia Superbotanicals

Made for Women by Women with StellaVia

The StellaVia story starts with Carol Mehas, beauty and wellness maven at some of the world’s most well-known brands. When she began to experience some of the symptoms of menopause herself, she began looking for truly effective solutions. Carol recognized a gaping hole in the women’s wellness market and saw the need for a safe space to help women–one that has largely been ignored, glossed over by the medical community, and often taboo between sisters and BFFs.

Determined to help women navigate this sometimes trying time of life, Carol collaborated with Dr. Allyson Shirkhande and Dr. Jessica Shepherd to bring StellaVia to life.

Join us for an exciting event tailored exclusively for women!

Hosted at Kerwell Premium CBD Shop, this in-person event promises to be a night filled with education, fun, laughter, and connection. Discover a wide range of products designed to cater to the unique needs of women and meet the team behind StellaVia Superbotanicals.

StellaVia founder (and beauty and wellness industry veteran) Carol Mehas understands the intricate juggling act necessary for being a successful working mother and wife—and how much feeling “off” can affect every aspect of life. In her many years in the beauty and wellness industry she has garnered experience in strategic global branding, merchandising and visual communications for international brands including L’Oreal, Kiehls, Shu Uemura and Lancome. She also held a Product Development role at Sephora which took her to Paris as well as New York and San Francisco in search of new technologies and trends.

Carol, a mother of three who currently lives in Ohio and Southampton, N.Y., was born and raised in Virginia, and moved to New York City after graduation to follow her dream of becoming a force in the beauty and wellness world. With her experience came an awareness of an underserved population: women going through menopause. There was simply nowhere to turn for truly helpful products, up-to-the-minute news, and a forum where any question is open for discussion. She immediately sprang into action and has focused her attention on the launch and growth of StellaVia (meaning: “by the light of a star,”), as her passion. She endeavors to empower; make women feel as potent as they have before. Not to deny aging or gloss over the last decades, but instead to embrace the future with time-earned confidence, dignity and vibrancy.

With the invaluable input of two world-renowned women doctors, she has created gummies to help relax you, mists to help cool hot flashes, tonics to help spark your libido and chocolates to lull you to (and stay) asleep. And, just as important, a safe haven to seek information and sisterhood about this sometimes vexing, inevitable time in a woman’s life.
