Jessica
"WolfCat" Black
Jessica is an avid
animal rights advocate. She earned her Zookeeper's Certificate from The Los Angeles
Zoo and spent several years volunteering at a wildlife sanctuary. Jessica has
been studying herbal lore and making candles, bath salts, incense, and personal
products for over 18 years. She and her green-thumbed husband Larry are organic
gardening enthusiasts, and together they grow many of the ingredients that are
used in UA Shoppe's incense and other products.
Jessica
is also a proficient photographer who was taking pictures by age six. Somewhere
along the road however, she took a turn and stepped between worlds. For the next
few years she photographed many famous rock and roll bands that were playing the
Sunset strip and combed the gothic underworld, but she always returned to explore
the beauty of nature. While the glory days of the Sunset strip waned, Jessica's
interest in all things herbal did not. She continued experimenting and creating
on her own over the years, until she and Marsha discovered their mutual interest
in aromatherapy and entrepreneurial adventures. To learn more about Jessica and

Marsha
"Sha" Sorce
Marsha became a student
of aromatherapy, naturopathy, and holistic health several years ago after a personal
healing experience. At the time, she was working in the Post Production Sound
portion of the entertainment industry, in a high-stress position that often required
her to work 90+ hours per week. An accomplished Recordist with over twenty A-list
feature film screen credits to her name, Marsha began to realize that this was
not her true path in life.
After recovering
her health, she underwent a complete change in lifestyle, from eliminating all
the chemicals in her home to eating an organic diet. More and more of her time
was spent researching natural health alternatives, understanding the adverse effects
of chemicals in our everyday lives, and implementing practical alternatives to
avoid them. She created her own toxic-free cleaners for her home and natural versions
of the personal care products that she used to buy. Seeking an outlet where she
could share what she had learned with a larger audience, Marsha started Metafusium
which is dedicated to expressing, exploring and expanding "Practical Alternatives
for Self Health". She believes that we all have the power of choice, we can
all live chemical free, and it does not have to break the bank. To learn more
