Our Story
Welcome to Rhôdane – inspired by nature, created for well-being.
My journey with Rhôdane began during my pregnancy. I started incorporating sea moss into my daily routine, drawn to its rich minerals and natural nutrients. I was on a no-meat diet at the time and had been very low on iron. By the end of my pregnancy, my midwife ran a blood test and was genuinely surprised at how high my iron levels had risen, she said she had never seen results like that before. I could feel the sea moss supporting me in small but meaningful ways, helping me stay nourished, energized, and connected to my body during such a transformative time. Later, I started drinking ceremonial cacao. I felt a gentle, growing connection, like a quiet nudge from my baby encouraging me to share this cacao with the world.
I am also passionate about holistic living and have a desire to share nutrient-rich foods in their purest form. As a French entrepreneur, I have set out to create something meaningful: high-quality offerings that support health while honoring the people and places behind them.
I first introduced sea moss from the Caribbean, treasured for its exceptional mineral content, and later added ceremonial cacao from El Salvador, a sacred tradition known for its heart-opening qualities. Every product I offer is chosen with care, sourced in partnership with communities who preserve ancestral practices. One of them is Yeny, my sister in law, an artisan who prepares our cacao by hand, keeping alive the traditions passed down through generations.
At Rhôdane, I stand for honesty, respect, and the power of plants to nourish both body and mind.
With gratitude,

At Rhôdane, our mission is more than just offering natural products, it's about embracing the healing power of nature through authenticity, sustainability and personal experience. What began as a personal quest for wellness, with a focus on the incredible benefits of sea moss, has evolved into a passion for sharing nature’s transformative gifts with the world.
My journey took an unexpected turn during my pregnancy, when I started incorporating Yeny’s handcrafted ceremonial cacao alongside my long‑standing use of wildcrafted sea moss. I had already been using sea moss for overall health, but it was only during pregnancy that I added Yeny's cacao to my routine. When my midwife reviewed my blood work, she confirmed what I had felt all along: these two natural remedies had given me an incredibly healthy, fulfilling pregnancy. I experienced a smooth pregnancy, free of discomfort and nausea, and I knew I had to share this powerful combination with others.
