Melissa Graves

What’s Marty Marie? An eco body care company based in Pasadena, California. Founded by Melissa Graves in 2006. The original product, Wellness Bags, was designed for family and friends to promote healing through heat therapy. While shopping for chestnuts on a fateful December morning in 2008, Melissa connected with the lead buyer at Whole Foods Market in Pasadena. The next year over 35 Whole Foods locations in California, Nevada, Arizona began selling them. Since then their prodiucts have been sold at Erewhon, Lassen's Natural Foods, Mother's Market, Good Earth Natural Foods, New Leaf Community Markets, The Detox Market, The Ritz Carlton, Dekor, Fred Segal, Planet Blue, & Exhale Spa. In April 2015 the company name changed to Marty Marie in honor of her late grandfather, Martin Bourassa. Proudly made in small batches with the finest natural ingredients. They are honored to produce unique and carefully crafted wellness gifts. And value the support of retailers and customers since 2006.
