Glow Crystals
I am Gwyn, creator behind Glow Crystals. Also, homemaker and mother of two girls aged 12 and 9. My crystal-healing journey began 9 years ago, when both my hubby and I were living in New Zealand. We just had our first child and it did not take us long to realize how challenging this ancient art called Parenthood was going to be.
I started looking for ways to manage the stress and tribulations of being a stay home mom. This self-discovering journey led me to the world of crystals and I have not turned back since. I started Glow Crystals; customized accessories for different people with different needs. We are all unique individuals, and I avidly believe that there are different crystals for each one of you.
