OUR STORY

Our Story

144 Eloise began as a deeply personal journey of transformation and faith. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, and during my second pregnancy with my daughter, Eloise, we were told she faced multiple health complications that shook me to my core. We were transferred to MUSC for specialized care, where a team of doctors shared a range of unsettling prognoses. They said she might not survive, that she might need surgery if she did, and even suggested we consider terminating the pregnancy...

Desperate and heartbroken, I found myself on my knees, crying and praying to God to heal her. We chose the name Eloise because we loved how it sounded and when we looked it up, we discovered it means 'Healthy' in some languages. That felt like a sign — it was exactly what we were praying for. We really needed her to be healthy. By God’s grace and the power of prayer (we are forever grateful to everyone who prayed for our sweet girl! My friends and family, colleges, churches and strangers - THANK YOU!), Eloise was born as healthy as she could be, though with one working kidney - a constant reminder of the miracles we experience through faith.

Before that moment, I never thought twice about what I consumed or used. I was unaware of the hidden dangers in everyday items — fragrances, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and countless toxins in our homes and products and how it can affect and cause so many different health issues with fertility, birth defects, chronic symptoms and mystery illness. That experience with Eloise, combined with the heartache of a miscarriage before her, changed me to my core. It awakened a spiritual battle in my heart and a fierce desire to protect her, our family in every way possible. A lot of things are out of our control, but I was determined to make a change wherever I could. 

I began researching relentlessly, becoming that mama bear determined to uncover the truth, find answers and protect my precious baby. I learned how toxins in our food, household products and environment disrupt our health and how making simple, clean changes can have a profound impact. Later, I discovered the Medical Medium, whose information connected the dots and confirmed much of what I had learned.  It opened my eyes even more to the connection between toxins & pathogens and chronic illnesses, as well as fertility challenges, birth defects and mystery symptoms. 

In 2019, I crafted my first baby-friendly soap for Eloise, free from harmful ingredients, free of fragrance and it felt such joy knowing we had made a truly clean, safe product we could trust for our little girl. Around the same time, we started growing luffas in our garden and turning them into soaps, combining nature’s gifts with handmade care. What began as a personal solution for Eloise grew into something more as friends and family fell in love with our creations. That’s how Eloise’s Soaps began - a small way to share safe, effective skincare and inspire others to make cleaner choices.

Today, 144 Eloise is about so much more than soap. It’s about inspiring families to prioritize their health, make informed choices and trust the products they use every day. We handcraft soaps, face cleansers and body care in small batches, blending the finest natural ingredients with the values of faith, love and a vision for a healthier, safer future for our children.

Our mission goes beyond crafting natural products — it’s about fostering hope, health and trust. At 144 Eloise, we believe in helping families find answers to the questions that matter most: How can we live healthier and feel better? How can we protect our loved ones? We believe every small, intentional step toward cleaner living creates ripples of positive change. Because when we're healthy, we can show up stronger - for our families, our communities, and the future we're building for our children.
