Essentia

We all start somewhere.

At one point I was a construction worker who drank water right out of a garden hose. But years later, after leaving construction, working in real estate and becoming semi-retired, I discovered that not all water is created equal.

One day, a friend brought me a sample of ionized water. At the time, it was only for investment purposes, but I quickly realized that drinking it made me feel better. So much so that I retired from being semi-retired and started learning everything I could about ionization.

I met with experts locally and globally, including Dr. Hanaoka in Japan who discussed with me his research and thoughts on the rehydration potential of ionized water. I also worked with different companies to ensure that our process could be used on any water source, anywhere around the world.

Finally, I was ready to bring Essentia Water (and my own proprietary ionization process) to the mainstream, never compromising my commitment to quality or my desire to help people feel their best.

Today, I’m proud to say that Essentia Water is available in grocery and convenience stores throughout the country. And while we all start somewhere, with Essentia there’s no limit to where we can go.
