Thriving Beginnings: A tale of travel

Our Story

It was the year 2017, and I had recently embarked on a major move from Manchester to one of the most vibrant and famous cities in the world – Los Angeles. Amidst the glitz and glamour of show biz, it was a city where health and wellness was much more of a way of life, and I came to the realisation I had truly neglected that side of mine. 

Muscle Beach, LA fitness, calisthenics, meditation, yoga, kickboxing classes, you name it, I began to embrace a balanced active healthy lifestyle, which provided the fertile ground for Thrive’s inception. 

Driven by a commitment to authenticity and efficacy, I set out to fill a void in an industry saturated with synthetic compounds and empty promises. I wanted to craft a range of supplement blends that reflected the purity and potency of nature’s remedies – supplements I knew I benefited from during my time across the pond.

For Thrive, the journey was not merely about creating products, but about creating a shift in the way society approaches health and wellness. I felt most supplements on the market scared people –  natural compounds were packaged to look like they came straight from pharmacies. Muscle support and recovery supplements were marketed towards only the hardest and most feared spartan warriors. Something needed to be done. 

I wanted to take the skepticism out of natural, holistic supplements – for me, looking after my body was an affirmation of self-care, reminding me of my journey of self improvement, and not a quick way to put on 5kg of muscle and lose fat at the same time. 

With a dedication to transparency and integrity, I set out sourcing safe, effective and unique formulations I knew would benefit people – subjecting each formulation to rigorous testing protocols.

After moving back to Manchester at the start of the COVID 19 pandemic, I was thrust into a world where misinformation ran rampant and profit often took precedence over people. This motivated me even more to set the record straight, to do the right thing, and create a brand people could be proud of. 

Wellness is not a privilege, but a fundamental human right; with each capsule, each bottle, Thrive beckons individuals to join the journey to embrace the power of nature’s remedies, to reclaim agency over their health, and to thrive in mind, body, and soul.
