The AlaTerps Family Story

AlaTerps - Health Solutions

All of us have struggled at times with physical and/or mental diagnoses. Those struggles have brought us together to create AlaTerps. We want to help people. We want to share what we have learned from doctors, nurses, herbalist, healers, faith, family and friends. Our goal is to help improve the quality of life for anyone struggling. This life is a gift. It is difficult and we know that some feel pain differently than others. AlaTerps hopes to provide as much relief as possible. We hope that our products bless all those who touch them. We want to spread love and kindness like confetti. Who doesn’t love confetti? Unless you are the one cleaning it up. Our dream is that you celebrate your life so much that the clean-up is worth it. Every day is a gift, but when you struggle it’s easy to forget. AlaTerps wants you to feel good enough to forget the struggles and celebrate life.

MK is a marketing professional with 20+ years of experience in creating brand awareness and maximizing marketing efforts to develop strategic marketing programs for a wide variety of companies.  She has built products from the ground up with Gatsby Kids Children’s Clothing and Conecuh Ridge Whiskey.

MK enjoys art, bright colors, celebrations and holidays, golf, watching college football, Sudoku and reading.  She is easily distracted. Especially with shiny things like glitter and confetti. She quiets her mind by scrolling through the internet, looking at pretty pictures and researching true crimes, natural disasters, and catastrophes.

Zoe Duncan

Picture
Zoe has been fascinated by the medicinal uses of natural remedies since she was a child. Her curiosity lead her down the rabbit hole of medical science and all things related.  In addition to learning about these subjects, finding ways to use that information in practical daily life is the key, especially helping others overcome obstacles in life.  She is a native of Birmingham, Alabama and her professional work ranges wildly from insurance to cake decorating. Her desire to learn about subjects that pique her interest drives diversity in her work history.

You will often find her hanging out at Brennan’s Irish Pub or Books, Beans, and Candles MS in Birmingham; enjoying a pint of Guinness with friends. She loves reading about spirituality from a long lost culture and spending time with her two fur babies. Zoe also plays pranks, especially on her boyfriend.  Zoe will continue working in this industry, helping those who struggle find holistic ways to manage medical conditions.
