Sarah Rutherford Bio

Sarah Rutherford - Writer/Blogger

Sarah Rutherford was born in Melbourne, Australia. She has always been drawn to alternative medicine as she has always experienced reactions to certain pharmaceutical medications. Having suffered from anxiety for decades it was not until Sarah tried CBD for the first time that she really found complete symptom free relief. A trip to Peru in 2014 solidified her desire to pursue plant medicine as a life calling and career path.

Sarah started her own tincture company in 2015 called Nice Canna. She ran this company distributing to dispensaries and developed a following of loyal customers.

In 2018, Sarah met Jason Jones and began working with OC Wellness Solutions. Since then she has successfully launched and marketed a number of new CBD products. Sarah loves to research the benefits of Cannabidiol and cannabinoids. Sarah writes content for the website as well as creating Press Releases and marketing content.

 

Sarah is a keen writer and is currently working on a book called Plant Medicine: The New Frontier.
