Edie founded her own wellness companies because she discovered that she had control over her health and wanted to empower others to do the same. Throughout her life, she witnessed her father endure major health challenges, including a massive heart attack, open heart surgery, tack-a-cardiac, and cancer before he passed away at a relatively young age. These experiences deeply influenced her desire to take charge of her well-being in a positive approach.

In Edie’s thirties, as she pursued her dream of becoming a mother, she faced unexpected difficulties, including multiple miscarriages that affected her menstrual cycle and caused emotional stress. Despite these challenges, she eventually gave birth to her first daughter, followed by more miscarriages. Consulting with doctors, Edie learned that the difficult pregnancy and birth of her premature twin daughters had triggered an overall breakdown in her health. Elated to be a mother to three beautiful daughters, she still struggled with a cascade of health issues common among many women after 40, such as hormonal changes, anxiety, stress, and lack of sleep associated with menopause.

In Edie’s journey to regain her health, she embarked on a yoga teacher training course, which introduced her to Ayurvedic Medicine, the sister science of yoga. This training resonated with her on a profound level, inspired her spiritually and became a turning point in life. Driven by her own quest for health and wellness, she founded Mona V, meaning “Tree of Life,” as a means to guide others towards wellness. Over the years, enjoying her new lifestyle and continuing the quest for Ayurvedic knowledge, Edie was searching for a natural way to create a skin regiment for each of her daughters.  This motivated the launch of Edie Ford Skin Care.  Today, Edie manages both brands with a common mission…to nourish your well-being (body, mind and spirit) the natural way.
