NATURE IS CALLING!
Nature is often referred to as the ultimate anti-depressant because it affects us physically, mentally and emotionally. Being outdoors alleviates stress, positively affects our mood/overall mental health, helps us to “reset,” promotes cognitive functioning, fosters problem solving and creativity, supports work/life balance, stimulates social interactions and helps family connection and intimacy.

The foam sole can be ground up and used in the brand’s ski boots. Nothing goes to landfill.

Milk + honey is the brainchild of Alissa Bayer, who moved to Austin to attend graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin. Not surprisingly, Alissa fell in love with Austin, it’s culture and people, so she decided to stay. However, one thing Alissa didn’t find in Austin were the wonderful urban day spas that she frequented in other cities – so created M&H! Book your message here!
